Notice of Nightworks- Port Hinchinbrook (Cardwell) Sewerage Treatment Plant

Council would like to advise residents near the Port Hinchinbrook (Cardwell) Sewerage Treatment Plant construction site of nightworks occurring on Wednesday 8 November 2023.

The contractor will be commencing work from 3:00am to complete a largest concrete pour for the project. The recycled water tank slab presents a unique challenge due to its size and complexity. To ensure the highest standards of quality and long-term performance, the concrete pour must adhere to strict temperature and shrinkage limits and is vital for the long-term performance of this structure.

This is the last scheduled nightworks, with remainder of construction activities anticipated to be dayworks.

Noise Reduction Activities

In response to feedback from the community, the contractor has taken immediate action to mitigate the impact of construction activities on the surrounding area. Furthermore, the contractor has taken steps to minimise noise disruptions by replacing diesel-powered lighting towers with silent spotlights and battery-powered tripod lights.
Following this concrete pour, site activities will revert to standard daylight hours starting from 6:30am on scheduled workdays.

Project Updates

Council has committed to providing regular updates to the community throughout delivery of the project. These updates will include information such as works on the ground and changes to standard working times due to heat and other factors.
Interested community members can register for these updates by visiting:

The STP and normalisation project is funded by the Australian Government, Queensland Government and the Cassowary Coast Regional Council.

Thank you for your understanding as we undertake this final scheduled night works.
