The completion of detailed designs for the $10.9 million upgrade of the Jetty Road causeway at Casuarina Boat Harbour in Bunbury has enabled tenders to be called for the first phase of work.
The Department of Transport project will be delivered in two phases, with the first expected to see about 24,000 tonnes of rock placed for essential improvements to the structure of the causeway from early August 2018.
The second phase of work is expected to start in early 2019 with replacement of the road, formalised parking, footpaths, landscaping and improvements to services including power, water, sewerage, firefighting and telecommunications.
Harbour users, residents, business owners and the wider community are being kept informed about the progress of the project, and will continue to be consulted as the work progresses.
The Department of Transport is working closely with the South West Development Commission, LandCorp, the City of Bunbury and other partners under the guidance of the Bunbury Development Committee to deliver the transformation of Bunbury’s waterfront.
As part of the tender process, the department is holding an information opportunity for local subcontractors wanting to work with companies tendering for the phase one work.
