The works commenced on 31 July, with residents notified in advance, and are expected to last until 20 December. 
 
Construction work times will be Monday to Friday, 6.30am-6pm; and 8am-4pm Saturday and Sunday. Some night works may be considered. 
 
Gladstone Region Councillor Chris Cameron said the Lake Awoonga Water Mains Renewal project aims to deliver a more reliable water supply for our residents with the new infrastructure expected to help reduce unplanned water interruptions. 
 
“The project includes removal of existing water mains, installation of temporary above ground water lines, installation of new water main and new water main connection, testing and activation of the new water main and removal of temporary water lines,” Councillor Cameron said. 
 
“These works will require some disruption to water supply and there may be some machinery noise generated by the works as well. 
 
“Council advises motorists, pedestrians and cyclists to please be mindful of these works as they take place and progress along Aerodrome Road between J. Hickey Avenue to Clark Street.” 
 
Works have commenced at the J. Hickey Avenue end of Aerodrome Road. 
 
The Lake Awoonga Water Mains Renewal project forms part of Council’s 2021/22 Capital Works program. 
 
This project commenced at New Auckland in early July (encompassing Sandpiper Avenue from Lorikeet Avenue to Cockatoo Drive) and those works are expected to be completed later this month. 
 
Water mains renewal works in the Gladstone Central area are set to commence later this year (covering Auckland Street from Tank Street to Short Street) and are expected to be completed by February 2022.
