Wisely wins Bowen wharf repair works
The works are due to start this month and will take about six months to complete, weather permitting.
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.
“NQBP’s condition assessment of the wharf, completed last year, found elements of the timber superstructure to be in varying condition and in need of repairs,” Mr Fertin said.
“Given the wharf is over 150 years old and has experienced several extreme weather events, it’s not surprising repair works need to be undertaken.
“NQBP’s operational use of the wharf has reduced considerably over the years, with trade via the wharf ceasing in the mid-1980s and towage services progressively transitioning to alternative infrastructure since last year.
“We are looking into options for the wharf’s future, but for now, we are focused on the essential repairs of the wharf.
“We also recognise the wharf is popular for recreational activities such as fishing and community events and will aim to keep some public access throughout the works provided it’s safe and practical to do so.”
Wisely chief executive officer Chris Bugeja said the company was proud to win the contract and looked forward to working on the project.
“Wisely brings a long history of experience to this project, having successfully delivered other major port maintenance and construction projects across Queensland,” Mr Bugeja said.
