The highly anticipated refurbishment of the Airlie Beach Boardwalk is complete, with the section between Pinnacles Resort and the VMR now upgraded to similar standards as the Coral Sea Marina section.
For 13 weeks, Stage 2 of this refurbishment was undertaken, in order to reinvigorate the boardwalk and meet the demand and expectations of residents and visitors who regularly use the boardwalk.
The project included widening the boardwalk by one metre, in order to increase user capacity and alleviate conflict between pedestrians and cyclists.
The timber of the boardwalk was also replaced with recycled composite fibre materials, which will extend the boardwalk’s lifetime significantly.
There are also additional lighting fixtures to help night time visibility and user safety.
The Stage 2 upgrades were officially opened by Deputy Mayor Gary Simpson at a ceremony last Friday, with users encouraged to make full use of the new boardwalk.
The opening coincided with Airlie Beach Parkrun’s 8th birthday celebrations and the expected influx of visitors due to school holiday break.
Plants Whitsunday was awarded the tender, with Wangers supplying the materials for the refurbishment, and the project was supported by the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Grant.
