Project Overview

This project originates from Council’s adoption of the Paynesville Maritime Precinct Masterplan.

The project has attracted significant investment from both the Australian Government and the Victorian State Government in providing grant funding.

When complete, the Slip Road Maritime Precinct will provide:

• A new boat ramp catering for marine businesses and overflow tourism activities
• Two new pontoon jetties providing much needed additional berthing and a kayak landing
• A services jetty for minor works
• A new carpark with formalised boat trailer parking, overflow parking and an area supporting marine businesses
• New boardwalk and paths with integrated landscaping and Aboriginal art
• New seawalls better protecting all infrastructure

Construction of the Slip Road Maritime Precinct development commenced in January 2022, with Carter Marine Group the successful tenderer for Construction Package 1.

Onsite works have been delayed due to a review of the project’s detailed design and are expected to restart in July 2023. This detailed design instructs the contractor on the work required and specification of materials. Council have engaged a coastal and maritime consultancy to review the design and redesign any elements required.

Council expects to receive updated working drawings in June 2023. This will allow the construction contractor, Carter Marine, to return to the site in the first week of July 2023.

The site fencing and the no boating zone will remain in place.

The planning and design of construction packages 2 and 3 is also progressing for the Harbour seawall reconstruction and larger carpark works.
