Boat ramp works finished
THE Port Douglas boat ramp upgrade has been completed.
Member for Cook David Kempton said the Crisafulli government completed the upgrade, improving safety, access and usability for local boaties ahead of schedule.
The resurfacing project was delivered by contractor Australian Marine` and Civil Pty Ltd.
Mr Kempton said the boat ramp had undergone a resurface with installation of new pre-cast planks and grouted rock shoulders to bring the facility up to current standards, improving safety, usability and long-term access for recreational and commercial users.
“This is an important piece of work for the local community,” he said.
“The boat ramp is central for local industry and right in the middle of one of the state’s tourism icons, Port Douglas.”
The final works involved asphalting on the approach to the ramp.
“This upgrade is part of the Crisafulli government’s ongoing investment in marine infrastructure to support safe, accessible, and well-maintained facilities across Queensland,” Mr Kempton said.
