    25M POOL FILTER UNDERGROUND PIPE REPAIRS

    Investigations are continuing into engineering requirements for repairs to the 25m pool filter plant’s underground pipework. Location of the pipe leaks and pipe arrangement could potentially make this work challenging. Planning is underway on how to execute these works safely and with minimal impact on infrastructure.

    50M POOL RELINING DEFERRED

    Works for complete replacement of pool tiles in the 50m pool, which was planned for Winter 2023 have been deferred.

    A new implementation schedule for the 50m pool retiling is being determined.

    The new timeframe for these works will be shared when confirmed.

    Gladstone Regional Council is being assisted to deliver this improved facility for the region with:

    - $2.4m State Government funding, through the 2021-24 Works for Queensland Program,
    - $1.2m State Government funding, through the COVID Works for Queensland Program, and
    - $1.6m through the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.

Water & Sewer interruptions

Refer to the RegionWatch website for up to date interruptions and scheduled works.

Regular maintenance and operational development of Gladstone Region water and sewer networks are conducted by Council staff throughout the year.

For more information, please contact Council on (07) 4970 0700.


After water is turned on:

  • On resumption of the water supply a hot water tap should be turned on to flush any air pockets from the pipes, then turn the hot water heater on again.
  • We advise that you check the water prior to use. If it appears discoloured we suggest you turn on the nearest external tap to the meter and let it run for a period of time, or until it runs clear, and then do the same to the furthest external tap from the meter, to clear your pipework.
  • Please do not wash clothes at this time to prevent staining from any discoloured water.

Council apologises for any inconvenience this interruption may cause. For more information contact us online or call on (07) 4970 0700.

  • Level 2 water restrictions - Miriam Vale town water supply
    Location
    Miriam Vale
    Description of Works
    Residents are encouraged to reduce their water usage and be mindful of their consumption to conserve the region’s water supply due to the depletion of Baffle Creek which is Miriam Vale’s primary water source.
    Commencing
    Wednesday, 6 December 2023
    More information

    The water restriction is set for all residential properties and is based on 180 litres per person per day, with variations to the restrictions assessed on a case-by-case basis for those where other factors need to be considered.

    Consumers who have recently had advanced water meter infrastructure installed are encouraged to sign up to the My Water portal to access near real-time data on water usage, set up usage alerts and to help identify and rectify leaks promptly. By working together and being conscious of our usage, we can ensure we have a sustainable water supply for our community, now and into the future.

    The existing 370m long sewer rising main pipeline, constructed in 1976, is located along the eastern side of Millennium Esplanade, Tannum Sands.

    This asset has been condition assessed and identified as being at the end of its service-life and needing replacement. This project is included in Council’s 2023/24 Capital Works program with work to be carried out by a Contractor.

    March 2024
    Completion

    • Installation of new sewer rising main,  
    • New sewer rising main connection to the existing network,  
    • Testing and commissioning of the new sewer rising main. 

     

    Work is being planned with public safety as a priority, with Council extremely mindful of peak holiday times in Tannum Sands with the community, visitors to our region and dates of known community events on Millennium Esplanade considered. 

    When works start in 2024 you can expect to see Contractors in the area on weekdays with some work at night and on weekends.  

    Due to equipment and machinery operating in the area, noise and dust are likely from the project area.  

    A temporary on-site work area will be established at the northern end of Millennium Esplanade. 

    The sewer rising main construction involves open trench excavation using temporary fencing and metal plates to protect exposed areas outside of work hours.  

    At times, some pedestrian detours, disruption to traffic flow, and parking restrictions will be experienced along the esplanade.  

    Work is planned to occur in stages to help minimise public disruptions.  

    To keep the public safe, there may be times when some amenities near the immediate work area may also need to be closed.
