Officially opened in December 2018, the Townsville Local Disaster Coordination Centre is the home of disaster response for future major weather events.

Rated to withstand a Category 5 cyclone and winds of up to 300km per hour, their aim was to be able to keep residents informed with updates during an event because of the up to date back up power and water supplies. This allows the centre to be self-sufficient in any emergency.

Mascot Engineering has provided several cable pits, as well as gas and airtight covers for this project
