  • Temporary Closure - Memorial Park, Bororen Dog Agility Area
    Location
    Memorial Park, Bororen Dog Agility Area

    Commencing

  • Tom Jeffery Memorial Park - Bridge closure
    Location
    Tom Jeffery Memorial Park Bridge, Agnes Water
    Description of Works
    Flood water forces and stormwater have undermined the central footing of the bridge leading to sagging of the structure.
    After early investigations, to keep our community safe, Council closed the bridge to the public on 16 May.
    Council will continue to maintain the temporary pedestrian access from Tom Jeffery Memorial Park to Agnes Water Main Beach following closure of the bridge which links these two areas.
    Commencing
    16 May 2022
    More information

    Council is aware this bridge design provides a vital link to the beach.

    Geotechnical investigations and engineering assessments have been completed to determine the best approach to repair the asset.

    What’s been happening?

    Since removal of the bridge from site in August for repair, upgrade works on the bridge structure have been occurring off-site with replacement of timber and upgrading of the metal components.

    Procurement of precast concrete piles has also been underway in readiness for on-site installation later.

    Tenders are currently open for Installation of Precast Concrete Bridge Piles & Headstock.

    Next steps

    • On-site work to install new piles, foundation and structural protection works.
    • Reinstallation of the deck beam and handrail.

     

    Council is extremely mindful of peak holiday times in Agnes Water and Seventeen Seventy, so bridge project plans are being considered with the community and visitors to our region in mind.

    Works required will take time and scheduling of works is dependent on contractor availability, supply of materials and weather permitting.

    Efforts to have bridge works completed prior to the summer school holidays will not be achievable, so to reduce tourism and economic impacts, project work will recommence on-site from early February.

    Planned works forecast

    • Currently, the tender evaluation process is underway and will then progress to contract award.
    • Early February - Contractors start on-site foundation work.
    • Late March - Anticipated project completion.

     

    Beach access
    Council will continue to maintain the temporary pedestrian access from Tom Jeffery Memorial Park to Agnes Water Main Beach.

    • More detail about planned works will be issued before work starts.

    We appreciate your understanding while we work to reconnect you to the beach.

    Construction programs of this size are often subject to change and can be delayed by weather, availability of construction materials, and other unforeseen circumstances. Please use above information as a guide only.

  • Tranquillity Walk, Miriam Vale - Temporary closure of equipment
    Location
    Tranquillity Walk, Miriam Vale
    Description of Works
    Flying foxes are still occupying trees above the fitness equipment on the Tranquillity Walk. Historically the flying fox depart the Miriam Vale area in early winter, however as they are still present they may over-winter in their current location.
    The fitness equipment will remain closed until the flying fox depart, but the remainder of the Tranquillity Walk parkland is open.
    The Environment and Conservation Team will continue to monitor them on a monthly basis and reopen the equipment if possible.
    Completion
    Reassessed regularly
    More information

    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 dead or injured bats. If they see an injured flying-fox they can report it to the RSPCA QLD on 1300 264 625.

    Dead bats can be reported to Council on 4970 0700 for removal.

  • Bridges Renewal/Upgrade Program
    Location
    Lowmead and Miriam Vale
    Description of Works
    Charnwood Road, Lowmead (Granite Creek) - Bridge Renewal
    Bindaree Road, Miriam Vale (Three Mile Creek) - Bridge Upgrade
    Stockbridge Road, Bridge #2, Lowmead, at Ch 4.048km - Bridge Renewal
    Stockbridge Road, Bridge #3, at Ch 3.509km - Bridge Renewal

    Following regular condition assessments of bridges across our region, lots of design and preliminary work towards improvement of these valuable community assets has occurred and work on various timber bridges has been scheduled.

    Contractors have been working on sites in some areas in preparation for bridge renewal/upgrades.

    During this time, and when bridge work is carried out, please be aware of the presence of road crews, mobilisation of heavy machinery and materials, noise and dust within the site area, please drive cautiously through the works area and adhere to all construction signs and directions.

    Works are expected to take two to three months to complete, weather permitting.
    Commencing
    7 October 2022
    Completion
    1 March 2023
    More information

    Deteriorating bridge conditions could increase risks of bridge failure, increase maintenance costs, and potentially lead to lengthy, unplanned bridge/road closures. These new bridges also open up the community road network to heavy vehicles as the current bridges have maximum load limits in place.  

    These bridge renewal/upgrade works are part of many upgrades and safety improvements to our region’s roads. Many of these works are fully or partly funded, enabling infrastructure improvements for our region made possible, supported by or through external funding, not ratepayer dollars.  

    Council appreciates your cooperation and patience while we work to provide you with an improved structure requiring reduced need for maintenance. 

    The Bindaree Road Bridge Upgrade is funded under the State Government’s Local Economic Recovery (LER) Program. 

    The other above-mentioned bridge renewal projects are jointly funded by the Federal Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications’ Bridges Renewal Program – Round 5 and Gladstone Regional Council.

  • Toolooa St (Derby to Agnes St) - Road Rehabilitation
    Location
    Toolooa St (Derby to Agnes St), eastern side,
    Description of Works
    Road rehabilitation work is planned along a section of Toolooa St (Derby to Agnes St), on the eastern side, southbound lanes.
    This project is part of Gladstone Regional Council’s 2021/22 and 2022/23 capital works program and will be delivered by Council’s road crew in a number of stages over the next 12 months.
    The works involve removal of the existing road surface/pavement, new drainage, and a new asphalt seal along southbound lanes of Toolooa Street between Derby St and Agnes St.
    Commencing
    28 May 2022
    Completion
    30 June 2023
    More information

    A permanent asphalt seal was applied to southbound lanes of Toolooa St (between Derby St and Roberts St) in July 2022. 

    Council is progressively working to provide a new asphalt road seal along Toolooa St (between Agnes and Derby St) in both the south and north bound lanes. Before the asphalting can occur, the road must be excavated and new road layers constructed. 

    These are extensive works and will cause traffic disruption.

    In this financial year, a new rising main sewer will be constructed in Toolooa St with the road works to be staged around this future project to avoid rework/damage to the new asphalt road. 

    Council will advise of these road and sewer works in Toolooa St throughout 2022/23 closer to works occurring.   

    Planned work in 2023 

    Stage 2 road work was completed on 25 January, with a temporary loose gravel surface in place.  

    Stage 3 will involve removal of the existing road surface/pavement and new drainage. Stage 3 will conclude once a seal is applied to Stages 2 and 3. 

     

    During the profiling work, the area of road being worked on will close to traffic, with road closure/traffic changes and detours required.   

    What to expect at different stages of this project when works occur: 

    • Noise, vibration, dust and heavy vehicle traffic can be expected from the project site. 
    • More traffic on detour routes in the area. 
    • Dust from the work area will be monitored and water trucks used as required. 
    • Portable lights will be used during night works.  
    • Motorists are urged to drive carefully through the work area, follow signage and directions.  
    • Pedestrians please follow signage and directions.  

    Please plan for delays, traffic changes, detours, drive carefully near the area and observe signs. 

    This project is proudly funded by the Queensland Government’s Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme and Gladstone Regional Council.
