Newstead - Mariners Reach Riveralk

The Mariners Reach Riverwalk, between Newstead Avenue and Evelyn Street, Newstead was identified to be deteriorating due to corrosion. Works are required to enhance the life of the riverwalk and ensure it remains safe and serviceable for the benefit of all users.

Works will generally be undertaken on site between the hours of 7am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. When necessary, works may also be undertaken on Saturday between 7am and 5pm where tide conditions are favourable. Council will provide notification ahead of such works.

A detour for cyclists and pedestrians will be in place during the riverwalk closure. Signs will be placed along the detour route to direct cyclist and pedestrian traffic. Where necessary, traffic controllers will be in place along the detour to help facilitate safe crossings.

For further information, about the Mariners Reach riverwalk rehabilitation project phone the project team on 1800 669 416 or email the project team. For information outside of business hours, phone Council on 07 3403 8888.
