With the possibility of a cyclone now is the time to be ensuring everyone has refilled anything in their kits they may have raided over the last month like spare milk etc, cleaning up their yards and checking on friends and family if they need any assistance. With that said 👇

An important reminder during the monsoon season in regards to the disability and elderly community members

Severe weather hits everyone differently and for people living with disability, chronic illness, mobility challenges, or for many elderly folks, it can add an extra layer of stress that others don’t always see.

Preparation often takes more time, more energy, and sometimes comes with real physical limits. Things like making sure meds are nearby, having food that’s easy to prepare, or planning for power outages can be a lot when your body already has its own challenges.

And something that I really want to highlight having my own lived experience with disability 👇

please don’t assume someone “has a carer” during events like this.

Support workers may need to stay home with their own families, shifts aren’t always scheduled in the lead-up to weather events, and some people only receive support once a week not daily. Many people are navigating these moments completely on their own.

If you’re able-bodied or have a bit of spare capacity, this is where community care shows up. A check-in message, helping secure loose items, or offering a hand with clean-ups after the weather passes can mean more than you realise.

Needing help doesn’t mean someone didn’t prepare and in a lot of cases they may have had a plan that has fallen through. Many disabilities, chronic illnesses and physical challenges are not physically visible to others and not everyone has mobility aids.

If you can help, please do. Not everyone is comfortable asking for help - c

As a fellow club that supported the district Project of Camp Kanga. It is indeed a sad day to hear that the financial burden has become too much....

Townsville will experience king tides this week, with the 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘁𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝟰.𝟬𝟭 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟮 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵.

These higher-than-usual tides may cause water to inundate low-lying areas, including:
✅ Railway Estate
✅ South Townsville
✅ Hermit Park
✅ Parts of the CBD (Hanran Street, Ogden Street)

What you can do:
✔ Move vehicles and belongings to higher ground
✔ Avoid driving through saltwater – it can damage your vehicle and create safety hazards

King tides are a natural event, but 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁.

We’re thrilled to announce that the Together Townsville partnership with the Community Information Centre Townsville and Mercure Townsville will proudly continue throughout 2026. Now entering its fifth year, this collaboration has become a cornerstone of community connection in our region — and we couldn’t be more excited to keep the momentum going.
For the past four years, Mercure Townsville has been the perfect home for our Together Townsville Networking Events. Its central location, welcoming atmosphere, excellent coffee, and diverse range of facilities have made it an ideal venue for bringing people together. Just as importantly, the General Manager Michael Rignall and the Mercure team share our belief in the power of community connection and the value of uniting and inspiring the business and community sectors.

Our monthly networking events will continue to be held on the first Wednesday of each month from February to November, offering ten opportunities across the year for local businesses, community groups, organisations, and clubs to connect.

Whether you're a small business owner, part of a business or community organisation, or simply someone passionate about strengthening local ties, these events are designed for you. We know from experience that Townsville thrives when we take the time to get to know one another — to understand what each of us brings to the table and how we can support one another.
For businesses, especially those with a growing workforce, staying connected to local services, programs, and community initiatives is invaluable. These events provide a relaxed, welcoming environment to build those connections.

Community doesn’t happen by accident. It grows when people show up, share stories, exchange ideas, and build relationships. Together Townsville was created with that simple belief at its core — and year after year, we see the impact of what happens when people come together with intention.

We’re looking forward to another fantastic year of collaboration with Mercure Townsville. Our first networking event for 2026 will be held on:

📅 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝟰 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆
⏰ 𝟴:𝟯𝟬𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝟵:𝟯𝟬𝗮𝗺

We can’t wait to welcome familiar faces and new ones alike as we continue building a more connected, informed, and supportive Townsville community.

Here’s to another year of coming together — because when our community connects, we all thrive.
