Compaction works will continue until October 2024 using Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) to stabilise reclaimed land that will be used for future residential, retail and commercial spaces.

The future boat ramps will also require compaction. The final phase of RIC will re-commence early 2025. These works will be carried out during normal work hours (7am-7pm Mon-Sat).

Similar compaction work was carried out in 2023 by the previous contractor during the initial phases of reclamation.

Boat ramps 5, 6, 7, and 8 have been permanently closed to enable construction of eight new boat ramps, which will be opened in early/mid 2025.

Boat ramps 1, 2, 3 and 4 will remain open until the new boat ramps are constructed.

The temporary boat trailer parking area opened in mid-April 2024, and will remain in use until the future boat trailer parking area is completed, anticipated to be November 2024.

Boat Harbour Quays access to and from Ocean Reef Road will be closed from early April 2024. Access for public vehicles will be from Hodges Drive.

Cyclists and pedestrians will have path access along Ocean Reef Road and Hodges Drive, with limited public access within the Marina development area.

Traffic management will be in place at various times during the course of Stage One works.
