Townsville City Council is currently undertaking works to construct the new East End Boardwalk, located along the Ross Creek at Flinders Street East.
It is the latest section of the larger Waterfront Promenade network project with the boardwalk connecting the NQ Stadium Precinct, Central Park, Reid Park and Central Development site already delivered.
These boardwalks will not only link the Flinders Street and Palmer Street dining and entertainment precincts, but also provide improved connection between the Queensland Country Bank Stadium Precinct and The Strand. The pedestrian-only boardwalks will also provide a safer option for people crossing the creek and making their way around the city.
The East End Boardwalk project is part of council’s commitment to Grow Townsville, building a city of the future that connects you to what you need at the time you choose.
Once complete, the East End Boardwalk project will deliver a 5m wide, 280m long boardwalk along the Ross Creek commencing from the Flinders Street East carpark spanning through to the Reef HQ.
Construction of this section of the Waterfront Promenade network (known as the East End Waterfront Precinct) has an investment of $6.2 million and been made possible due to funding by the Queensland Government’s Works for Queensland program in association with Townsville City Council.
The East End Boardwalk construction and associated works are anticipated to be finished in May 2023.
