Coconuts Boat Ramp Car Park Upgrade
Cassowary Coast Regional Council will be undertaking upgrades to the car and trailer parking at the Coconuts Boat Ramp, located on Fern Avenue, Coconuts.
The upgrades are expected to begin on Monday 27 June, pending weather conditions, and will be undertaken by local contractors. The project involves upgrading the existing roadway (from Fern Avenue towards the cul-de-sac end) to a two-way sealed standard including a turn-around area, provision of a formalised car parking area for cars and trailers, and a designated pedestrian pathway connecting the boat ramp to the car parks. The construction work will be carried out in stages and is expected to be complete by the end of August.
The boat ramp will still be functional during this time, and traffic control will be in place, however, parking will be limited. The Contractors have advised Council they will avoid any work over weekends, where possible. During the upgrades, users may prefer to use alternate boat ramps, including Flying Fish Point, Innisfail or Mourilyan Harbour.
