One Coast - Cassowary Coast Bingil Bay Campgrounds Under New Management

CASSOWARY Coast Re- gional Council wishes to advise that the Bingil Bay Campground, located on Alexander Drive, will be temporarily closed. The temporary closure will allow essential maintenance activities to be undertaken as the campground transitions to new management, the Djiru Tra- ditional Owners from 1 May 2023.

During the transition, site improvements will occur to the beachfront campgrounds, which currently accommodates eight unpowered camp sites, a shower block and BBQ amenities.

New management looks forward to welcoming new and returning visitors to the Bingil Bay Campgrounds, once reopened. Council apologises for any inconvenience caused.

Visitors wishing to book a camp site, can contact the Djiru Traditional Owners directly on 0455735732 or via email djiru-missionbeach@ outlook.com.

Changed traffic conditions for Tully Gorge road users

CHANGED traffic conditions will be in place whilst Council is undertaking a project to replace a culvert located on Tully Gorge Road, Tully.

Council’s Asset Sustainability portfolio holder Councillor Barry Barnes said Council maintains culverts and drainage across the region with an ongoing upgrade and renewal program for culverts that have reached their end of serviceable life.

“Once complete, the new culvert will improve safety for the community, improve flood immunity following heavy wet weather events and provide additional years of service.

‘Works were awarded to local company, MJC Civil. To allow works to proceed, the contractor will install a side track, about 150 metres long, adjacent to the road and a detour will be in place for the travelling public during the works.”

Councillor Barnes said that the road will remain open for traffic with the side track under traffic control. Council appreciates the patience of residents and the travelling public whilst these important works are undertaken and apologise for any delays that a detour may cause.

Works are expected to commence in early-May and take about four weeks, subject to weather and site conditions.

The $360,000 project is proudly funded by the Queensland Government through the Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme and the Cassowary Coast Regional Council.
