A staggering 13,729km of line marking has been accomplished this year, ensuring Townsville remains a well-connected and secure city.
However, it’s not just about roads; the Council’s focus on environmental preservation shines through its drainage initiatives.
More than 520 drain-clearing operations and the cleaning of 108 gross pollutant traps have been pivotal in safeguarding waterways and the region’s unique ecosystems.
Eco-Conscious Agenda
This robust commitment aligns with the Council’s broader vision of being a Reef Guardian Council, promoting and safeguarding the integrity of the dry tropics and reef coast environment.
These efforts not only underscore Townsville’s dedication to infrastructure but also its pledge to sustainability and environmental protection.

Amidst these commendable numbers and efforts lies a significant testament to Townsville’s dedication towards progress, safety, and environmental consciousness.
