Council is continuing flood and drainage improvement works along Winifred Street. With the second stage of preliminary preloading works along the Ross River riverbank nearing completion, the project will now pause to allow the preloading to settle before progressing to the next stage.

This project is part of Council’s stormwater Capital Works program, designed to address and improve drainage across Council’s networks, and raise the quality of life for residents.

What will the works include? As part of this project, Council will:

• demobilise laydown site and undertake revegetation
• reinstate temporary vegetation upon completion of preloading activities, in preparation for the final stage of the project
• re-establish the shared pedestrian path connection along the Ross River
• continue monitoring the preloading works throughout this short construction pause.

If you live in or are travelling through the area, you may experience:

• minimal construction machinery and vehicle movement
• Council will provide an update notification before the projects move into the final stage of construction.

Townsville City Council is undertaking environmental restoration maintenance works along the riverbank to the Ross River within Sherriff and Archery Parks, Mundingburra.

Council began these works in October 2024. We expect maintenance weeding, mulching, and planting to take four months to complete and low-impact maintenance weeding to occur periodically until June 2026.

Council proposes dividing the site into two sections, restricting pedestrian access, and directing pedestrians to an alternative route.
We will close the pedestrian path within each section along the riverbank to suit works progress over the two week period.

Section one is from Sherriff Park to the Mabin Street Park entrance. Section two is from Mabin Street to the midpoint of Archery Park. You can still access the area through the Mabin Street park entrance.

Council will use safety bollards and flagging to mark the work areas and to ensure public safety.

If you live in or are travelling through the area, you may experience:

• construction machinery and vehicle movement
• increased levels of dust, noise, and vibrations
• temporary traffic changes, including lane closures, minor traffic delays and reduced speed limits.

Please note: Work will not be continuous across these months but in four stages.

What works are coming up?

In December 2025, machinery and equipment arrived by barge and were transported to the project site under oversized load escort, including 24 piles measuring 18 metres each.

Townsville City Council plans to begin pile installation in early January 2026.

Piling work will create noise as we pre-drill holes and drive the piles into the ground. These types of work are often intense, and the noise and vibration can be intense too. This is all normal and expected during piling works.

When will the works take place?

Pile installation activities will take place from Thursday 8 January 2025 and are expected to take two weeks to complete, weather and project conditions permitting.

What will the works include?

As part of this stage, Council contractor, BMD Constructions will:

• bore 12 holes at pile locations
• drive 12 piles, 14 metres deep, into the ground
• splice 12 piles onto the lower piles driven first
• drive the attached upper piles to the design depth.
