Boat ramp to close while Council resurfaces vehicle turn-around

Council will close the Tewantin boat ramp for four weeks from November 1 while contractors upgrade the vehicle turn-around/access area.

Project Officer Dallas Bickley said Council appreciated boat owners’ patience while the work is completed.

“Boaties can launch their vessels at one of Council’s other boat ramps, including the Gympie Terrace boat ramp, while the Tewantin ramp is closed,” he said.

A new concrete surface will replace the existing asphalt. The State Government is funding the work.

The adjacent trailer parking bays will be signed as car parking while the work is underway and the boat ramp closed.

Mr Bickley said Council hoped to complete the work and reopen the Doonella Street boat ramp in early December, weather permitting.

“The new surface will be significantly harder-wearing,” Mr Bickley said.
