28 May 2024

Representatives from our funding partners, the Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry, and Regions, visited the site on Friday 24 May 2024 to check on the progress.

Our officers shared insights on the design and layout, giving them a firsthand look at the project. They saw several of the 57 new seawall panels already poured, galvanised piles ready for installation, and the general layout of the site.

We're pleased to have their continued interest and support in this shared project. A big thank you to our contractor, Carter Marine Group, for their hard work and dedication in bringing the Slip Road Maritime Precinct project to life - their expertise and commitment has been invaluable in making this project a success.

The next steps -

Panels to be installed between piles to form seawall
Backfill behind seawall in preparation for new carpark
Prefabrication of pontoons and service jetty to happen offsite
