Council is undertaking coastal management works, which involves reshaping the sand along the foreshore that is most vulnerable to erosion. This work also includes enhanced maintenance for the beach access along the foreshore of Horseshoe Bay.

This project is part of Council’s ongoing commitment towards environmental management, which has identified the need for coastal management initiatives to address and mitigate the effects of erosion caused by weather events earlier in the year.

As part of this project, Council will:

• undertake placement of sand to the most vulnerable sections of the foreshore for better stability and to protect assets
• Council staff will oversee and manage any environmental impacts resulting from these operations.

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

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.

Council is undertaking roadworks along Payne Street from Partridge Street to Mount Louisa Drive, and along Mount Louisa Drive between Bayswater Road and Glasgow Avenue.

This project is part of Council’s annual Roadworks program, which aims to maintain our Council controlled road network to ensure the community’s transportation needs are adequately met and continue to support the growth of our region.

As part of this project, Council will:

• remove and replace the road pavement with new asphalt
• paint road markings and install reflective markers or signage.

If you live near 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.

Road resurfacing will be completed first, followed by a brief pause before line marking begins. Construction crews will not always be on-site.

Council, in alignment with the Townsville Flying Fox Roost Management Plan, will undertake tree maintenance works on all identified trees adjacent to residential properties within the open space environment of Macarthur Park, Annandale.

• removal of the tree branches, foliage and mulching
• undertake complete maintenance of the landscape buffer zone, overseen by Council’s Environment team.

Townsville City Council will soon be undertaking planned works in Bolger Bay to install a bypass component aimed at improving the long-term reliability of water infrastructure on Magnetic Island.

During this scheduled period of isolation, water access will remain uninterrupted. However, Council kindly asks residents to be mindful of their water usage during this time.

While there is sufficient water stored to meet community needs, this request is a precautionary measure to help ensure the process runs smoothly and efficiently.

Operation by the Townsville City Council Water team include:

• isolation of the DN375
• valve configuration to supply water to the residents
• installation of a bypass on the DN375 water main
• structurally stabilising the bypass using supports
• reinstating the DN375 water main.

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 on The West Point Road, including lane closures, minor traffic delays and reduced speed limits.

As part of these works, the contractor will:

• remove and replace underground water main pipes
• undertake testing and maintenance of associated water infrastructure
• reconstruct the footpath in full-width plain concrete
