Jabiru Island recreational boat ramp upgrades
A popular Paradise Point boat ramp near the Broadwater is undergoing major upgrades.
The $950,000 project commences in mid-June 2023 and will see recreational boat ramp lanes at Jabiru Island expanded and upgraded to the latest specifications.
The Jabiru Island boat ramp is an important access point for recreational boaties. It is located on the southern side of Jabiru Island, near the junction of the southern arm of the Coomera River, Coombabah Creek, and Saltwater Creek.
Gold Coast Waterways Authority (GCWA) Chief Executive Chris Derksema said maintaining boat ramp facilities was an important part of ensuring safe navigable access for waterway users.
“Especially as demand for these facilities continues to climb on the Gold Coast,” Chris Derksema said.
“These upgrades are part of the $50.4 million investment in construction and upgrade projects to improve access to the Gold Coast waterways recommended in the Gold Coast Waterways Management Program 2022‐26.
Boaties and other recreational users will be able to access three other mixed‐use lanes on weekends while the work is carried out.
The Jabiru Island boat ramp upgrades project is expected to be completed in July 2023. More details are available in the project factsheet.
