Improved road safety and connectivity

Works are progressing well on Paradise Street 2B upgrade in South Mackay.

Motorists are advised that from August 23, George Street will be temporarily closed at the intersection of George and Milton streets for four weeks as part of Stage 2 works.

Once complete, the area will offer improved road safety and connectivity for students and pedestrians.

Subsidised exercise programs on offer 

The new Activate Mackay Region program offers residents the choice of six different exercise classes for the price of a cup of coffee.
 
Zumba, ninja warrior, zuu, yoga, pilates and aqua fitness are all on offer for just five dollars per session (paid directly to the service providers).
 
Council’s Sport and Recreation Advisory Committee chair Cr Michelle Green said the program kicked off this week and featured five experienced local fitness providers hosting classes in accessible locations.

Juliet Street upgrade
works under way

A major road rehabilitation project for busy Juliet Street, between George and Boddington streets, has commenced.
 
The project will be completed in stages to minimise traffic disruptions, starting on the southern lanes in Juliet Street.
 
All traffic will be switched to the northern lanes whilst this work is occurring. It will continue with two-way traffic flow but will be single lane in each direction and at reduced speeds.
