    WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING?

    We’re pleased to have introduced our 50m grandstand and shade sail upgrades late last year, providing a fresh, new look to the 50m pool area, and helping to provide all-year-round comfort for our patrons.  

    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.

  • Flat Rock Picnic Grounds - Public Boat Ramp Upgrade
    Location
    Public Boat Ramp at Flat Rock Picnic Grounds
    Description of Works
    Civil upgrade works will occur during May on the concrete public boat ramp at the Flat Rock Picnic Grounds.

    These works will be dependent on tides and weather and will be carried out by a Contractor, as part of Council’s 2022/23 Capital Works program.

    This boat ramp upgrade project is one of many upgrades and safety improvements being made to Council’s assets and infrastructure.

    As a popular asset, widely used by members of the public for recreational fishing and boating, works will improve useability and safety of the single lane boat ramp for our community and visitors to our region.

    An extension to both sides of the boat ramp will be constructed consisting of geotextile, rock armour and river rock.

    Work involves:
    • Improved scour protection to sides of the ramp,
    • Improved side accessibility, making it easier to pull boats up and walk on safely,
    • Installation of ramp anchor points for boats to be tied to temporarily while vehicles are parked and retrieved,
    • Altering drainage from the existing carpark to direct water on to the bank armour instead of down the boat ramp.
    Commencing
    29 May 2023
    Completion
    2 June 2023
    More information

    To keep our community safe, the existing concrete boat ramp will need to close while upgrade works are underway.

    Boat ramp closure is anticipated from Monday, 29 May to Friday, 2 June.

    Works will be carried out from 7am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.

    During works, the road will remain open with access maintained to the natural boat ramp, picnic grounds and amenities.

    Visitors to the area should expect noise from the work site, heavy vehicles and machinery operating.  

    Please follow signage and directions and ensure boats and watercraft are kept out of the work site exclusion area.  

    The Flat Rock Picnic Grounds (Public Boat Ramp Upgrade) Project is funded by the Queensland Government Department of Agriculture and Fisheries’ Fishing Infrastructure Grants Program and Gladstone Regional Council.

    Location
    Carramar Park, West Gladstone
    Description of Works
    Council has temporarily closed Webb Park (dog off leash park) on Palm Drive as we undertake some maintenance work at this location.

  • Tom Jeffery Memorial Park Bridge
    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 2022.
    Geotechnical investigations and engineering assessments have been completed to determine the best approach to repair the asset.
    Commencing
    16 May 2022
    More information

    Work on permanent solution

    Since removal of the bridge from site in August 2022 for repair, upgrade works on the bridge structure have occurred off-site with replacement of timber and upgrading of the metal components. 

    Council recognises it is of high importance for the community to re-establish this vital link to the beach. Our teams have been committed to assessing various options to determine the most appropriate solution that is safe, has minimal impacts and that incorporates environmental considerations.

    Contract awarded

    Council has a fully executed contract to reinstate the Tom Jeffery Memorial Park bridge.  Local company, Miriam Vale Plant Hire, has been awarded the contract.

    Planned works and key dates

    Works will consist of:

    • Installation of precast concrete bridge piles and headstock.
    • Reinstatement of the repaired bridge.

    Monday 10 July - Work will commence from this date on-site. This is due to the availability of the specialised piling sub-contractor required to complete this work.

    • At times, work will disrupt pedestrian access within the park.
    • More about traffic and/or park disruptions will be shared closer to the time of this work commencing.

    During September - The repaired bridge is scheduled to be reinstated and back in use during September 2023, site conditions and weather permitting. 

    Beach access

    Council greatly appreciates the permission received by NRMA Agnes Water Holiday Park which has enabled access to the beach across their private land over recent months.

    While Council’s agreement with NRMA Agnes Water Holiday Park is in place, Council will continue to maintain temporary pedestrian access from Tom Jeffery Memorial Park to Agnes Water main beach.

    We appreciate the community’s understanding and patience.

    Frequently asked questions 

  • 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.

  • Gladstone CBD 40km/h speed limit precinct
    Location
    Gladstone CBD area including streets bordered by Auckland St, Tank St, Glenlyon St, Hanson Rd, Lord St and Flinders Parade.
    Description of Works
    Concerns about speed limits within the Gladstone Central Business District (CBD) were discussed by the Speed Management Committee (SMC), consisting of representatives from Gladstone Regional Council, Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) and Queensland Police Service (QPS).

    General inconsistency of speed limits throughout the Gladstone CBD was also raised.

    Following a Speed Limit Review - speed limit recommendations were forwarded to the road authority for consideration, approval and implementation by the Speed Management Committee.

    From Monday, 29 May, a speed limit of 40km/h will come into effect for streets within the Gladstone CBD area, with exception of a 10km/h shared zone to remain at Library Square in Goondoon St, and 20km/h sections of Oaka Lane to remain.

    The Gladstone CBD precinct area is bordered by Lord St to the north (including Flinders Parade near East Shores Stage 1a), Auckland St to the east, Tank St to the south, Glenlyon St to the west.

    Speed limits along Auckland St and Glenlyon St/Hanson Road will remain 50km/h and 60km/h respectively.

    Introduction of the 40km/h speed limit precinct will:
    • provide speed limit consistency in the Gladstone CBD, and
    • improve safety for pedestrians and road users.
    Commencing
    From 8 May 2023
    Completion
    29 May 2023

    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
    30 June 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.

Gladstone Regional Council would like to acknowledge the Bailai, Gurang, Gooreng Gooreng and Taribelang Bunda people who are the traditional custodians of this land. Gladstone Regional Council would also like to pay respect to Elders both past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
