Townsville City Council will be undertaking sand scraping and redistribution works along a section of the Pallarenda foreshore including the mouth of Three Mile Creek.

These works involve relocating sand from the southern side of the Three Mile Creek mouth to the upper beach. This will help address areas of erosion and improve overall beach amenity for the community.

The project forms part of Council’s ongoing commitment to environmental management, aimed at restoring beach amenity, enhancing the resilience of the Pallarenda foreshore, and stabilising the site in preparation for further sand placement scheduled for later in the year.

Works include sand scraping, relocation and placement to restore eroded areas of the foreshore.

• remove fallen trees
• remove exposed asphalt
• reposition existing rocks to provide
• short-term support during high tides.

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

• construction machinery and vehicle movements
• increased levels of dust, noise, vibration and occasional odour
• temporary pathway closures, minor traffic delays and reduced speed limits
• temporary closure of sections of the beach and adjacent beach access car parks

Townsville City Council is progressing structure restoration work at Gustav Creek, with key structural works nearing completion.

From Friday 22 May 2026, a crane will be set up at the works site to begin installing the structure’s new deck beams. This will require temporary short-term closures of the pedestrian bridge during crane operations and other construction machinery are operating over the next two (2) months.

To ensure the bridge reopens to the community by the end of July, construction activities will transition to a seven-day work schedule. While works will occur daily, Sunday activities will be kept to a minimum where possible to reduce impacts on nearby residents.

As part of these works, contractor BMD Constructions will:

• transport deck beams from Kelly Street to the Gustav Creek site
• install deck beams by crane at the Gustav Creek site
• undertake minor rock placement to complete the fishway.

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

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:

Council is undertaking a road signage impact trial following recently completed safety upgrades aimed at reducing crashes and improving conditions on high-risk sections of Goodsell Road in Cape Cleveland.

This trial will assess whether modifications to signage installation improve visibility for motorists, particularly during night-time driving conditions.

The trial will involve reinstalling signage along the first curve of Goodsell Road (Chainage 0 650 m), with the following adjustments:

• Positioning signs further from the road edge
• Lowering installation height.

These changes are intended to improve visibility and reduce potential distraction for drivers.

Recently installed speed warning signs were vandalised and removed shortly after installation. Council is therefore assessing alternative installation methods before proceeding with full reinstatement, which is estimated to cost approximately $200,000.

This trial is funded by Townsville City Council
