Drainage
Date published: Friday 9 October 2026
Work boundaries: Corica Street & Horseshoe Bay Lagoon, Magnetic Island
Estimated start: Monday 12 October 2026

Normal work hours: 6am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday.
Townsville City Council is undertaking management works at the Corica Street drain and Horseshoe Bay Lagoon on Magnetic Island to improve drainage system to improve water flow and support the long-term health of the lagoon.
Significant rainfall during 2024/25 resulted in sediment being washed through the Corica Street drainage system and deposited within Horseshoe Bay Lagoon, reducing water movement and impacting lagoon health. These works will remove accumulated sediment from the lagoon and sections of the drainage system, while undertaking minor revegetation to stabilise drain banks, improve water quality and support the long-term health of this important environmental asset.
A local Magnetic Island contractor has been engaged to carry out the works.
As part of these works, the contractor will:
- use machinery to excavate and removeaccumulated sediment from the lagoon
- transport removed sediment to an approved disposal site for reuse where appropriate
- restore the lagoons capacity and improve environmental function.
If you live near, visit or are travelling through the area, you may experience:
- workers and machinery operating within the work area
- trucks entering and leaving the site
- increased levels of dust, noise and flashing lights
- temporary changes to access around the works area
- traffic management in place if required.
Council will make every effort to minimise impacts to residents, visitors and the surrounding environment while works are underway.

Works will focus on decommissioning two remaining sections of the former pipeline, including:
- excavation to access sections of the redundant pipeline
- filling and decommissioning the pipeline in accordance with engineering requirements
- associated reinstatement and site restoration works.
During construction, nearby residents and road users may notice:
- construction vehicles, machinery and workers operating in the area
- increased noise, dust and vibration during work hours
- temporary traffic management and changed traffic conditions
- reduced speed limits near work zones.
Residents along Riverway Drive within the work area may also experience temporary disruptions where works are taking place near driveway access points.

Council is undertaking construction works to deliver a new underground water main and associated infrastructure along seven identified road corridors in Wulguru.
This project forms part of Council’s annual Water Infrastructure Maintenance Program, which is designed to ensure our community’s water connectivity needs are met and operating efficiently, while continuing to support the growth and development of our region.
As part of this project, Council will:
- install a new underground water main pipeline and remove/decommission the existing pipeline
- conduct testing operations and remediate disturbed areas.
If you live in or are travelling through the area, you may experience:
- construction machinery and increased vehicle movement
- higher levels of dust, noise, and vibrations
- temporary traffic changes, including lane closures, reduced speed limits, minor delays, and on-street parking closures
- temporary disruptions to vehicle access to properties.
Minor water outages may occur during the works. Council will notify affected properties in advance to reduce any inconvenience.

Townsville City Council will continue with water main installation works as part of the Murray Street Civil and Utilities Upgrade.
To complete these works, crews will install a new section of water main across Murray Street and connect it to the existing water network near Victoria Street.
This work will require another temporary road closure.
Residential access will be maintained while these works are undertaken and managed under a “Hold and Release” system to maintain safety.
The road will be reopened to traffic at the end of each day.
As part of the project, Council will:
- implement a temporary road closure, managed under a “Hold & Release” system
- excavate and reinstate the road surface
- install and connect a new section of water main across Murray Street
- connect the new water main to the existing water network near Victoria Street.
If you live in or are travelling through the area, you may experience:
- temporary traffic delays and reduced speed limits
- temporary traffic changes and reduced on-street parking near the work area
- changes to vehicle access for nearby properties
- construction noise and dust during work hours.
Council will work directly with affected apartment complexes and property managers to maintain access wherever possible and provide advance notice of any temporary access changes.
Works will be carried out within the yellow-outlined area shown below.
This project is proudly funded by the Queensland Government’s Works for Queensland Program.
