Whitsunday Regional Council (Council) is calling for tenders to reconstruct a one hundred and sixty-five meter (165 meter) long seawall protecting a recreational esplanade at Bowen Front Beach, located on Santa Barbara Parade, Bowen.

The proposed construction works will reconstruct the seawall in accordance with a detailed engineered design based on a concrete stepped seawall.

• Protect infrastructure (including Foreshore Park, carpark, toilet block, picnic shelters, barbeque areas, playground, park furniture and services) from erosion.
  • Reduce scour and damage as a result of overtopping where practicable;
  • Provide adequate drainage (associated with the seawall structure).
  • Enhance amenity of Bowen Front Beach and the Foreshore park.
  • Maintain public access to and along foreshore, including beach access stairs.
  • Achieve current coastal design standards.
  • Meet environmental and legislative requirements.
  • Minimise whole of life costs (including capital, future adaptation and maintenance costs
