The Port has started works to install a noise barrier wall in Nexus Park (Port-owned land).

The wall is expected to reduce noise impacts and support a more consistent and predictable environment for surrounding residents.

Operational reviews conducted by the Port identified the need for a physical noise barrier along sections of the interface between Port land and nearby residential areas.

The project will be undertaken in stages with construction expected to be complete by the end of the year.

Some trees have been removed to enable construction of the wall. The Port is committed to minimising environmental impacts wherever possible and will actively identify opportunities to replant and enhance vegetation within the area. Replanting plans will be developed as the project progresses.

Please take care if you frequent the area.

The Port thanks the community for their patience during the construction period.

Congratulations to our Manager Legal Services and Company Secretary, Ronette Druskovich, who is on her way to Germany to represent Australia at the Transplant Football World Cup next week.

Ronette has been selected in Transplant Australia Football Club's inaugural Women's National Team, which will compete in an exhibition tournament at the event in Frankfurt.

Since receiving a life-saving liver transplant in 1998, Ronette has embraced life to the fullest, travelling to more than 60 countries and staying active through a variety of sports.

She hopes to inspire other transplant recipients to embrace an active lifestyle and highlight the long-term quality of life that can be achieved thanks to the gift of organ donation.

We wish Ronette all the best and look forward to following her journey with the team.

Welcome Carnival Encounter!

More than 2000 passengers and crew will be on board when she arrives at 7am tomorrow.

Visitors will spend the day taking in the city sights and enjoying tours around the region.

She’ll depart by 4pm, so if you’d like to see the cruise ship, the best spot will be from the breakwater wall near the Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre.

The cruise ship visited Townsville in January last year as Pacific Encounter before joining Carnival Cruise Line.

Our official 2026/27 cruise season begins Saturday 7 November 2026, when Oceania Riviera returns to Townsville.

A reminder seagrass scientists from TropWATER are surveying seagrass meadows from the air during low tides from tomorrow until Thursday 10 September.

The seagrass meadows being monitored are found around Magnetic Island, Shelly Beach, Rowes Bay, Pallarenda, the Strand and Cleveland Bay.

You may see the helicopter repeatedly dropping very low and hovering – but don’t worry, the team is just getting a close look at the seagrass cover and the species growing in different areas.

We do helicopter surveys along with boat surveys that use drop cameras to assess meadows in deeper waters.

Positive conversations were on the menu when our staff met members of the Port of Townsville Limited Board over lunch in Environmental Park last week.

Introduced by Port CEO Ranee Crosby, Board members spent time connecting with employees, hearing what they value most about working at the Port and discussing future opportunities.

It was the first all-staff lunch for the new Board, which was appointed in October last year.

Board Chair Peter Court thanked employees for their commitment, recognising the work involved in keeping the Port operating around the clock.

The event also gave employees the opportunity to hear updates on some key Port projects currently underway, including the Ross Street Transit Corridor upgrade.

Thanks to members of the Townsville Men’s Shed for cooking up a great lunch.

Tens of thousands of containers move through the Port of Townsville each year, carrying everything from copper, coffee and camping gear, to timber, whitegoods and chickpeas.

After being emptied of their contents, imported containers are temporarily stored at the Port, where they are inspected, maintained and cleaned, ready for their next journey.

Our empty container storage yard near Berth 3 and 4 recently had a much-needed facelift to support future container trade growth at the Port.

The almost 20,000-square metre yard was sealed with a bitumen spray seal and line marked to improve functionality and accessibility for users. The upgrade will also reduce dust generation and improve safety.

The dedicated storage area ensures the right containers are readily available when customers need them, helping import and export supply chains to move efficiently.

Thanks to our project team GKL Group, Shamrock Civil Engineering and Boral for delivering the project on time and on budget.

We’re about to start works to install a new footpath, two viewing decks, seating, lighting, a water fountain, rubbish bin, and storytelling signage to create a space where the community and visitors can come to view the HMAS Townsville, learn about its significance and the broader maritime history of the city.

Works will begin this week on Ross Street, South Townsville, and take up to 12 weeks to complete, weather and site conditions permitting.

There’ll be partial road closures on Ross Street during construction to keep the community and work crews safe.

Traffic control will be in place. Access to the Magnetic Island Ferries vehicle and passenger service via Creek Street will remain available at all times.

An artist impression and the works site are pictured below.
