• Removal of the Existing jetty, including stockpiling existing timber members (excluding piles) to be salvaged;
• Earthworks for new jetty abutment;
• In-situ concreting for a new concrete abutment;
• Construction of scour protection in front of new jetty abutment;
• Supply and installation of steel piling, including corrosion protection;
• Supply, fabrication and installation of steelwork for the supporting structure;
• Supply and installation of decking, handrail, kerbs, FRP joists and connections;
• Supply and installation of timber chafers; and Supply and installation of LED lights, signage and furniture.

The project was effectively managed without environmental incident and minimal impact to the surrounding stakeholders.
