Work on Shute Harbour’s eagerly-anticipated $22million upgrade is expected to start in earnest early next year.
The tender for the demolition of the Lloyd Roberts Jetty will be released shortly with the first workers expected on site by February or March.

Whitsunday Regional Council said the NDRRA money must be allocated by June 30, 2019, so all work needs to start in 2018 to comply with the funding requirements.

Construction is expected to start as early as September next year and will go through until early June 2019 to coincide with the funding deadline.
Environmental and development approvals are being progressed through the State Government and the council, and will be in place before each stage of the works begin.

“By future-proofing the facility, we can make sure we budget appropriately for any upcoming development at Shute Harbour.”
