Growing Townsville 🏡🚧
Works are about to get underway on critical new traffic infrastructure to unlock more housing in the fast-growing northern suburbs.
The 4-week project will deliver a vital traffic connection into the Cosgrove development and will include an extension of Bayswater Road and the installation of a signalised intersection.
This is another example of Council working together with local developers like Parkside Land to deliver vital infrastructure to get more houses built, faster.
𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥 - the Mount Louisa Walking Track will be temporarily closed from Monday to enable the works. It's expected to reopen late November 2026, subject to weather.
Work on the Woolcock and Weston Streets intersection will also continue.
Please obey all safety and directional signage. We appreciate the patience of local residents, regular track users and motorists during this important project.
