Works & Road Closures List View

Townsville City Council plans to construct a temporary bus stop and turnaround on Mountview Drive near Moyses Road, Toonpan.

These works have been identified in response to concerns with school students waiting and being collected by the school bus on the Flinders Highway.

Council will be providing a cement modified gravel waiting area and turnaround as temporary works with the intent to monitor the situation to confirm that the location is suitable and allocate budget to install permanent works in the future.

As part of this project, Council will:

• Remove vegetation as required within the alignment of the turnaround.
• Grade and prepare the associated surface.
• Spread cement-modified gravel for the bus waiting area and turnaround.
• Compact and smooth the surface.
• Restore the worksite upon completion of works.

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.

This project is funded by Townsville City Council.

The Rowes Bay and Pallarenda coastal restoration works have been extended due to unforeseen equipment and resource allocation delays. It is expected that works will now be completed by the following dates:

• Rowes Bay Foreshore works are expected to be completed by Monday 28 October 2024, weather and coastal conditions permitting
• Pallarenda Foreshore works are expected to be completed by Monday 4 November 2024, weather and coastal conditions permitting.

The works will continue to involve the reprofiling of sand along identified sections of the foreshore most susceptible to erosion including additional foreshore maintenance works.

Residents and beach users close to the works may experience some temporary coastal works impacts including:

• partial closure of the beach
• operation of machinery
• installation of safety fencing
• noise.

These works aim to reduce the impact of erosion and make the beach resilient to future weather events.

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:

• 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.

Please note: Work will not be continuous across these months but in four stages.
