City Notice Roundup: Infrastructure Works and Public Health Advisories

City Infrastructure and Utility Maintenance

The City of Gold Coast has issued a utility notice regarding planned sewerage network upgrades scheduled for the early hours of Friday, 27 February 2026. Residents in Bundall are advised that service interruptions will occur between 3:00 AM and 7:00 AM. The primary area of impact is centered around Crombie Avenue. Maintenance crews will be conducting network cleaning and essential repairs to ensure the long-term reliability of the local system. Residents are encouraged to plan accordingly for this brief outage.

Ongoing construction for Stage 3 of the Gold Coast Light Rail continues to impact traffic and public transport in the Burleigh Heads precinct. Several bus stops along the Gold Coast Highway remain temporarily closed to facilitate track installation and utility works. Commuters should note that stops at Third Avenue and Anzac Parade are currently offline. Temporary alternative stops are available near Memorial Park and Justin Lane. Motorists are reminded that a strict 40km/h speed limit remains in effect through all active construction zones to ensure the safety of site workers and pedestrians.

Public Health and Environmental Alerts

Queensland Health has maintained a regional health alert following a confirmed case of measles in Southeast Queensland. While primary exposure sites were identified north of the city, Gold Coast residents who have recently traveled through major transport hubs are advised to monitor for symptoms such as high fever, cough, and a red blotchy rash. Authorities urge anyone displaying symptoms to contact their general practitioner by phone before attending a clinic in person.

Additionally, the City’s Mosquito Management Program has been intensified this week following recent environmental conditions and rainfall. Surveillance and treatment operations are currently focused on salt marsh environments and low-lying habitats across the coastal corridor. Residents are asked to assist by eliminating standing water in containers, gutters, and pot plant bases on their properties to reduce local breeding sites.

Community Planning and Environment

Friday, 27 February 2026, marks the official School Clean Up Australia Day. Local schools across the Gold Coast are participating in various litter collection events to promote environmental stewardship. The City is providing logistical support, including waste collection services, to help students remove litter from parks and waterways. This initiative serves as a precursor to the broader community Clean Up Australia Day scheduled for this coming Sunday.

Public consultation remains open for the Interim Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) Amendment. This critical planning document outlines the city's projected growth and trunk infrastructure requirements through 2041. Residents have until 2 March 2026 to review the proposed changes and provide formal submissions. Documents can be inspected at City customer service centers in Broadbeach, Elanora, Helensvale, Nerang, and Southport. Finally, a new development notification period begins today for a proposed dual occupancy at 51 Bordeaux Parade, Mermaid Waters, with details available via the City’s planning portal.
