By Victoria Velton I had the pleasure of visiting the Conroy Hall Market, and it was a real treat. I wandered through tables of vibrant handmade goods, admired the lush array of plants, and couldn’t resist taking home a delicious sponge cake. The friendly stallholders made it feel like a true community hub, and I only wished I’d stayed longer to enjoy the live music from the choir. If you haven’t been yet, the next Conroy Hall Market is on Saturday, 9 August, from 7:30am to 11:30am at

The Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre (HCSC) Seniors Morning Coffee Club proudly hosted an amazing Christmas in July celebration, bringing together seniors from across our region for a day of good food, fun, and festive cheer. What began as a planned gathering for 80 quickly grew to a sold-out event, welcoming 120 guests who filled the Noorla Bowls Club in Ingham to capacity. Our usual Coffee Club of around 40 members more than tripled in size for this special day, with the added delig
Read the full storyOne of Hinchinbrook’s most iconic facilities is getting a facelift, with reconstruction works now underway on the ramp up to the Lucinda Jetty. Originally constructed in 1979, the Lucinda Jetty has been a vital asset to the region, and now after more than four decades of service the concrete structure that forms the ramp is being replaced to ensure it continues to serve the local sugar industry for many years to come.
The works form part of Sugar Terminals Limited’s (STL) $30 million investment in the Lucinda Jetty over the next 5 years. STL’s Assets and Engineering Manager, Richard Hughes said “This project will give the structure another 50 years of life and ensure safety for heavy vehicles accessing the offshore wharf to maintain the conveyor and the shiploader”.
STL’s terminal operator QSL Operations has engaged Townsville-based construction company CivilPlus to perform the work. Locals and visitors are advised that construction traffic will increase along Bruce Parade and that vacant Port land adjacent to the Sugar Terminal is being used for the contractor’s office and staging area. During the construction, access to the beach will be restricted, but alternate pedestrian pathways will be made available when possible.
QSL Operations Asset Services Manager, Monica Accornero said "While there may be some disruptions, we are committed to keeping the community informed and ensuring the works are completed as smoothly and safely as possible."
The project also brings positive impacts beyond the jetty itself. Workers have been brought into the Hinchinbrook region to assist with the construction, providing a boost to the local economy through accommodation, supplies, and services.
CivilPlus’s Senior Project Manager, Steve Olsen said “"We are proud that STL has trusted CivilPlus to deliver this important project, and we look forward to creating a long-lasting relationship with the sugar terminals".
The project team will provide regular updates throughout the construction works.
