Marina Moorings This work is to replace the existing floating concrete pontoon walkways that were installed in the early 1990’ s. These concrete walkways have served the leasee’ s at the Whyalla Marina well, but have since deteriorated into a state of disrepair. The heavy concrete sections are difficult to work on and replace, with the service pod facilities becoming quite dated, requiring significant Council resources to maintain full function, with limited firefighting capabilities. The new walkway pontoons are currently being manufactured and the new service pillars are already in Whyalla. Works to remove the existing floating walkways and install the new ones is scheduled to occur sometime in late May to early June. A firm date will be made soon, so we can begin to consult with the lease holders as to how the whole proj ect will unfold in the best interest of all parties. Contract 02 - 2018 - Design, Construct, Remove & Replace Floating Pontoons at Whyalla Marina for $386,810.00 ex GS T was awarded to Walcon Marine Australasia Pty Limited.

Wetlands Wharf The existing model boat launching facility at the Wetlands had come to the end of its useful life. Lessons learned from this old facility included that it couldn’ t adapt to the changing water levels in the Wetlands, meaning that the users of this facility (mostly pensioners) need to stoop down or launch from the adj acent bank when the water levels get too low. The old facility also became inundated/ submerged after heavy rains, further restricting the use of this facility. This work was originally budgeted for in the 2017/ 18 financial year, to replace the existing model boat launching facilities at the site, with additional funds being budgeted to be available in the 2018/ 19 financial year. The old facilities were becoming hazardous, with some sections of the wharf beginning to show signs of significant wear and tear. This new proj ect has provided a brand new facility that provides superior access, at both high and low water levels, while also allowing the opportunity for those with mobility/ accessibility issues to take up this popular hobby, safely. MWO 20-2018 Replacement of Wet lands Pont oon Access Ramp for $44,200 ex GS T was awarded t o S ea-S lip Pont oons & Product s Pt y Lt d.
