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:

With culvert works now complete, Townsville City Council still plans to undertake roadworks and utility service upgrades along Murray Street, between Gregory and Stokes Streets, North Ward.

However, in the interest of safety, this stage of the project is on pause as Council prioritises slope remediation works along Stanley Street and Castle Hill Road before the next wet season.

Preliminary works will commence from November 2025. Construction crews may not be on-site full-time while we undertake preliminary works.

Roadworks are anticipated to commence from March 2026.  Works are expected to take three (3) months to complete, weather permitting.

We will provide you with more information regarding these emergent works soon.

As part of this project, Council will:

• repair and replace the top layer of the road surface to improve its condition and extend its lifespan
• renew and replace existing water and wastewater pipes to improve infrastructure and prevent service disruptions.

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.

Council’s Principal Arborist recently conducted an inspection of all trees located along the road and pathway corridors throughout Magnetic Island.

Maintenance work will be carried out on all designated trees. This includes the removal of identified branches and associated foliage to prevent obstruction of streetlights or hazards to roadways and pedestrian walkways.

Works will include removal of the tree branches and mulching. Council arborists will oversee complete landscape maintenance to ensure the health and growth of the trees, preventing further damage to infrastructure and community 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.

The entrance to Queens Gardens on Gregory Street is currently closed to foot traffic following a significant limb failure in a Milky Pine (Alstonia scholaris) located within the gardens.

Upon inspection, Council arborists identified internal decay and fungal growth compromising the structural integrity of the tree. Due to the high risk posed to the public, the tree was deemed unviable for retention and will be removed in the interest of community safety.

Council regularly inspects trees in parks and gardens across the city. Where trees are assessed to be unsafe, appropriate remedial action or removal is carried out in line with Council’s Public Tree Management Policy.

Initial tree removal works will take place on Monday 21 July, with temporary road closures expected from the week commencing 28 July for up to one (1) day to complete final works.

We understand the important role trees play in our parks and appreciate the community’s understanding as we prioritise public safety.

The works will include:

• removal of the tree and mulching
• suitable replacement trees will be planted near the removed tree to replace the equivalent lost canopy cover.

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

• machinery and vehicle movement
• increased levels of dust, noise, and vibrations
• footpath closures and detours
• temporary traffic changes, including lane and or on-street parking closures, minor traffic delays and reduced speed limits.
