Isle of Capri Boat Ramp Upgrade
Gold Coast Waterways Authority is upgrading the boating facility at Isle of Capri. This project involves the removal of the existing boat ramp and the construction of a new single-lane boat ramp to improve access to the waterways for recreational users.
The works are planned to commence in April 2024 and be completed in June 2024, with the boat ramp closed during this period.

IMPACTS

- Naples Avenue Reserve will remain open for the duration of the works however there will be access limitations to the carpark.
- There may be some temporary noise impacts from demolition and construction.
