    Commencing
    August 2020, various stages
    Completion
    Various stages continuing until 2023
    More information

    Aquatic Play Park upgrade is complete with towering dumping buckets, water cannons and two slides, offering 13 interactive features for aquatic play.

    The Aquatic Play Park operates in the warmer months of the year. Check opening times and learn more about the Gladstone Aquatic Centre and other facilities in the region www.gladstone.qld.gov.au/pools-aquatic-centres

    FACILITY ENTRANCE

    • Entry and exit to the facility (as of 14 June) will be via the newly upgraded main entrance at the front of the facility.

     

    KIOSK OPERATIONAL

    • While building works occur, access to the kiosk will be maintained.  Please be safety conscious and follow signage directions.

     

    25M POOL CLOSED FOR UPGRADES

    • Significant impacts have led to a revised completion date forecast for the end of July 2022.
    • 25m building structure is looking updated and refreshed.
    • The bulk of painting to the building structure has been completed with painting to the reverse side of walls remaining.
    • The new ceiling has been installed.
    • Structural joint repairs to the pool have commenced.
    • Unforeseen rain events in the past few weeks have impacted completion timeframes with high moisture levels impacting painting of steel. This work will continue when weather conditions are favourable.
    • Pool joint renewal - Tile removal has revealed a sound pool shell but unexpectedly revealed the breakdown of pool joints. Detailed investigation of the pool wall and floor joints has identified the need for pool joints to be renewed to make them waterproof again.
    • Timing of works impacted - Repair and waterproofing to joints requires specialised materials and sufficient curing time. Additional activities and a change to the work sequence have delayed the upgrade works.
    • Amenities in the 25m pool area will remain open for patrons, for as long as safe and practical during works. Access via the corridor between the 25m pool is maintained until further notice.
    • Patrons are encouraged to make use of the 50m pool facility. The outdoor pool features additions to provide comfort for all swimmers while the 25m pool is closed.

     

    50M POOL ADDITIONS

    • Additions to the 50m pool have been completed to improve mobility and access for indoor pool patrons to freely use the 50m pool in comfort, while upgrade of the 25m pool occurs.
    • We appreciate patron co-operation while installation of a temporary roof structure, pool hoist, pool step/ramp and temporary heating has occurred.
    • Temporary heating has warmed the water to support rehabilitation services and Learn-to-Swim classes and will provide comfort for swimmers as winter months approach. 

     

    WHAT’S NEXT?

    • 50m pool relining: This package of work forms part of the Stage 3 Rejuvenation project and is currently in planning and scoping phase.
    • 50m grandstand and shade sail upgrades: Currently in planning and scoping phase, scheduled to commence later in 2022 and includes corrosion protection of steel and upgrades to shade sails.

     

    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.

    While pavement and footpath work occur, Council will also install stormwater pipes and conduit for future water services.

    Council is mindful of undertaking these works with as minimal disruption to businesses, residents and the community as possible with works to be carried out in stages, and in sections, along this stretch of Toolooa Street.

    Outline of Planned Works

    All road construction work along Toolooa St (Short St/Young St to Walsh St) has been completed with a new road seal and line-marking. This section of Toolooa St has reopened to all general traffic.

    John Clifford Way - Hobble Creek Crossing bridge replacement complete

    Following the recent opening of the John Clifford Way - Hobble Creek Crossing bridge, some minor adjustments for the bridge to road transition are being considered to enable smoother travel.

    Please adhere to the reduced speed signage in this location as we rectify the current issue, given the weather we are experiencing.

    Gorge Road - Baffle Creek Crossing bridge replacement

    Gorge Road - Baffle Creek Crossing bridge will be closed from 7 May to mid-July for bridge replacement, weather permitting.

    As there will be no bridge access, traffic will need to detour via Tableland Road and Lowmead Road via Berajondo. During current wet weather conditions some roads across our region may be closed. Please check road closure updates on https://regionwatch.gladstone.qld.gov.au/

    Motorists are urged to allow for longer travel times, obey signage and any changed road conditions.

    General civil works have been progressing with bridge abutment concreting work and piling completed. Work is now continuing with earthworks, backfilling, and ground works on the southern approach to the bridge. 

    UPCOMING PLANNED WORK:

    • Next week up to Fri 1 July: Ground works on both approaches and demolition of remaining timber bridge supports.  

    Please use information as a guide only. Due to the nature of construction projects and unforeseen delays, works may vary and some work may be dependent on weather.

    What to expect?

    • Detour - via Tableland Road and Lowmead Road via Berajondo during bridge construction. During rain events some roads across our region may be closed. Please check road closure updates on https://regionwatch.gladstone.qld.gov.au/
    • Heavy vehicles - This project does not involve continual heavy vehicle use however there will be heavy vehicles transporting materials and at times several trips will be made to and from the project site throughout the day. At times larger vehicles will be reversed into the project site.
    • Community defibrillator - Council purchased a defibrillator for community use during bridge construction. If required, this is located at 484 Gorge Road.

    This project is jointly funded by the Federal Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications’ Bridges Renewal Program Round 4 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
    More information

    What’s been happening?

    The first stage of work in the area started with profiling to excavate the top layers of the existing road to enable new pavement materials and a fresh pavement seal to be constructed at a later date.

    Southbound lanes of Toolooa St between Derby St to Roberts St have reopened with a temporary seal applied, and temporary reflective markers on the centre-line. These temporary measures will be in place until a permanent asphalt seal is applied in the next financial year.

    This approach is needed so a permanent asphalt seal, once applied, is not damaged due to other planned works in Toolooa St over the next 12 months.

    Please use this information as a guide only. Due to the nature of construction projects and unforeseen delays, works may vary.

    Upcoming planned work

    • Southbound lanes of Toolooa St (between Derby St to Roberts St) have reopened to traffic. A 40km/h speed limit is in place until line-marking occurs. There may be some loose material on the road, please obey signage.

    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.
    • Dust from the work area will be monitored and water trucks used as required.
    • Portable lights will be used during night works. 

     

    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.

    Council will carry out water service replacement work in Booth Avenue, Tannum Sands.

    Machinery will operate in the area with work expected to take about four weeks.

    Some interruption to water services will be required with letters issued to properties impacted before disruptions.


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.
