Armand Way Street TreePlanting

What works are coming up?

Townsville City Council plans to plant two trees

along Armand Way, directly across from Alma Bay

Park and beside 14 Armand Way in Arcadia.

These works are part of the Arcadia Bus Service

Reroute project and Council's commitment to the

Island community to revegetate Armand Way

following the installation of new bus stop

infrastructure supporting Translink's recent

service route changes.

The selected tree species is Calophyllum

inophyllum, commonly known as the Beauty Leaf.

This large tree is typically found along coastal

areas and is known for its resilience to cyclones.

A local contractor will undertake preliminary

construction work for Council before our

maintenance team begins the planting activities.

When will the works take place?

Location Armand Way, Arcadia.

Timing On Monday 16 June 2025, Council

expects the project to take one (1)

week to complete, weather

permitting.

Hours Work hours are from 6am to

6pm. In exceptional cases,

Council may require work

outside these hours.

What will the works include?

As part of these works, Council will remove the

concrete infill from the two medians, as illustrated,

and add soil in preparation for tree planting.

We will provide further information regarding tree

planting activities following these works.

What does this mean for me?

If you live in or are travelling through the area, you

may experience:

• construction machinery and vehicle

movement

• increased levels of dust, noise, and

vibrations

• temporary closure of carparks directly

beside the medians.

Funding
