A Mackay company is expected to begin repair works on the Bowen Wharf next month after winning the contract for the project.
North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation announced Wisely Services Pty Ltd as the principal contractor for its Bowen Wharf repair project.
Conducted as part of NQBP’s maintenance and repairs program, the project includes the repair or replacement of some of the wharf’s timber members.
NQBP chief executive officer Nicolas Fertin said the repairs would ensure the wharf remained available to the public and continued to provide temporary towage infrastructure for Abbot Point’s towage operations.
