Public Notice: Garden Street works and temporary access changes 4–25 November 2026

Please be advised that scheduled works to extend the wastewater network at the eastern end of Garden Street, near the Cooktown Botanic Gardens, may cause brief access delays for residents and visitors.

Short road closures and temporary driveway access restrictions will be needed at some stages to allow crews to work safely. Residents whose driveway access will be affected have been informed directly.

Disruptions will occur intermittently, not throughout the full three-week period. The timeframe includes an allowance for weather delays.

Please take care when driving or walking through the area and follow traffic signs and directions.

Thank you for your patience and for helping keep workers and everyone travelling through the area safe.
