Project update - October 2022
The next stage of the project will include major repairs to the Jetties Boardwalk on the southern foreshore.
Work will include:
- Contractors to mobilise to site, secure worksite area and establish equipment/construction laydown area.
- Disconnection and capping of all services at the extent of the boardwalk structure.
- Removal of items such as handrails from the existing structure.
- Deconstruction of the existing Jetties Boardwalk and removal of the disconnected services.
- Detailed inspection and assessment of the boardwalk sub-structure.
- Replacement of structural timbers, steel brackets and fasteners, as required.
- Treatment of all remaining steel brackets and fasteners.
- Installation of new services to finger jetties (including electrical boxes).
- Reinstatement of timber decking, edge protection and items such as handrails.
- Responsible offsite disposal of all materials deemed to be unsuitable for reuse in the works.
When will the work start?
Works is expected to start week commencing 17 October 2022 (weather permitting) and will continue into December 2022. The work will be completed in stages - see the map overleaf outlining Jetties Boardwalk.
Why are these works happening?
These repairs and upgrades are essential to ensure that the foreshore remains structurally sound and safe for the community.
Potential impacts – Stage 2 Jetties Boardwalk
There will be no, or very limited pedestrian access to the Jetties Boardwalk work site, including vessels, during construction. This is estimated to be approximately 4-6 weeks, weather permitting. Vessels may remain moored at the facility and can be accessed using a dinghy.
