Construction on a long-awaited new boat ramp at Midge Point will begin in June and be complete in October, weather permitting.
Mackay MP Julieanne Gilbert said Queensland company Australian Marine and Civil was awarded the $1.55m contract to complete the works for the new boat ramp at Jimmy’s Rocks Road. “The contract includes construction of a new two-lane boat ramp and 120-metre-long access causeway at Jimmy’s Rocks Road,” Mrs Gilbert said.
“The design of the new facility accounts for the local marine habitat, large tidal range and wave conditions of the Midge Point area.”
