There are no increased health risks associated with the presence of the bats as per Queensland Health advice, though the public are reminded to wash hands if they come into contact with bat faeces and not to handle or approach injured bats. If they see an injured flying fox they can report it to the RSPCA QLD on 1300 264 625.

Water interruptions
To carry out essential maintenance to the water network, Council needs to turn off the water supply in the areas listed below.
-
Low pressure water supply due to reservoir works
- Location
- Gladstone
- Affected Streets
-
Some districts of Gladstone
City, Barney Point and South Gladstone. - Commencing
- 1 October 2020

Gladstone Regional Council advises that some residents may experience lower than previously experienced water pressure over the coming months as work progresses on an upgrade to the Ferris Hill Reservoir.
Council commenced refurbishment work at the Ferris Hill Reservoir in June, with a new roof and access platform to be installed as well as repairs to internal concrete surfaces.
Lower than previously experienced water pressure will be noticed within some districts of Gladstone City, Barney Point and South Gladstone due to Ferris Hill Reservoir currently being isolated for these project works, which are expected to be completed in late February 2021.
The cost of this refurbishment work is $1.67 million, made available from the 2019/20 Capital Budget.
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.
