The Cassowary Coast Regional Council has announced that dredging works at Port Hinchinbrook have reached 50% completion. While progress has been steady, weather conditions and embankment stabilisation efforts mean the remaining works are expected to take another two to three weeks, subject to weather conditions.
The council appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation during this time and has provided the following key updates:
• Ramp Access: One side of the ramp reopened for public use on Sunday the 2nd of February, allowing limited access.
• Temporary Facilities: To improve accessibility, temporary toilets were installed in the car park on Friday the 31st of January.
• Public Safety Measures: Temporary fencing will be in place to ensure safety while maintaining access where possible.
The council thanks residents for their understanding as these essential improvements are completed. Further updates will be provided as work progresses.
