An aerial drone will be deployed along the foreshore of Balgal Beach to survey and assess sand volume distribution and erosion. This will help Council prepare for future effects of rainfall and storm events and take sustainable management actions.

This project is part of Council’s ongoing commitment to environmental management, highlighting the need for ongoing coastal investigations that inform erosion management and enhance local beach resilience against future weather events.

As part of this project, Council will undertake:

• drone flyovers
• coastal investigations

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

• whirring noises from drones
• drone lights in the sky

Drone operations will avoid flying over private properties and will not interfere with or impact the community.

Location of drone flight path is indicated by the blue shade on these aerial maps:

Project funded by Townsville City Council.

Townsville City Council is continuing coastal management recovery works, which involve reshaping the sand along the foreshore that is most vulnerable to erosion.

Council has received recovery funding to undertake these works. As part of the funding agreement, the DRFA requires Council to complete these works by the end of April 2025.

This project is part of Council’s ongoing commitment to environmental management, which identifies the need for coastal works to address and mitigate the effects of erosion caused by recent weather events.

As part of these works, Council will replenish sand at the base of palm trees along the foreshore, with only small sections of the beach closed at any given time.

We are working with the Surf Life Savers to ensure minimal impact on the stinger net. Although machinery will be in operation, the larger pieces of equipment regularly employed for sand renourishment will not be required. If you live in or are travelling through the area, you may experience:

• sections of beach foreshore closed at one time within the area illustrated
• light machinery and vehicle movement
• increased levels of dust, noise, and vibrations.

Council will close only small sections of the beach and foreshore at a time to allow machinery to work on the beach. Once we complete work on one section, we will move to another area to address erosion around the palm trees.

The eastern side of the boat ramp, which faces the businesses, will still have accessible sections of the beach for the public. However, the small sections where machinery is operating will be temporarily closed for public safety.

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.
