What’s happening

Council is changing the road and parking layout on Alice Street between George Street and Charles Street in Hervey Bay. Traffic will travel one way towards Charles Street, continuing the existing one-way arrangement on Alice Street.

Why

The changes will provide more clearly marked parking and better connections for people walking through the area.

When

Works commenced on 22 September 2026 and are expected to finish in late October 2026, weather permitting.

What

The project includes:

  • 54 marked angle parking spaces on the southern side of Alice Street, with 17 existing parallel spaces retained on the northern side
  • New sections of footpath on Alice Street and George Street
  • A marked raised zebra crossing near the Alice Street and Charles Street roundabout
  • Four traffic islands, upgraded street lighting and new signs
  • Moving the bus stop used by Hervey Bay State High School students from Alice Street to George Street

How much will it cost

The project is estimated to cost $220,000.

Community impact

Traffic and pedestrian arrangements will change while Council crews carry out the work. Council will inform nearby residents and the school about the works. Once complete, drivers will travel eastbound only on this section of Alice Street, and the school bus stop will be in George Street.
