Cement – Utilised in sub-base and basecourse improvements on the majority of
Roads throughout the Townsville network.

organising MATTA testing for future projects and Council will complete designs .
Enclosed Mixer – this machine was used due to the urban environmental concerns
With nil complaints received.
Project Waste Materials – Utilised as a re-sheeting material on rural gravel roads.
Also many community clubs had their properties damaged during the cyclonic
events and were repaired with these material saving them and ratepayers
thousands of dollars.
Various working hours – as many projects were located around businesses and
Schools, SPA and Council performed works out of hours and on weekends
reducing any impact on the community.
