Townsville: The port is still on condition RED, full closure. Townsville itself is currently experiencing minimal rain and wind, but this may change over the next 24 hours. At this stage, the intention is to re-open Townsville Port (landside) at 06:00 hours tomorrow (Wednesday 29 March), but this is still to be confirmed and will be subject to assessment of the channel and infrastructure in the morning.
