Nib Wall Construction

Nib Wall Construction

A $10.5m resilience project which includes a Nib Wall will help deliver increased protection for the marina, which is exposed to northerly waves during certain weather conditions.

Port Binnli has been working with the Federal, State and Local government along with several consultants to ensure the right design was implemented for the benefit of the Marina.

* Construction works will begin in mid-February and will continue through until July 2023 (weather permitting).

* The Principal Contractor, Hall Contracting will be building a 120m long rock wall on the inside of the Southern Breakwater, just inside the current marina entrance.

* This project received grant funding from the Australian Government.

* The Southern Breakwater wall will be closed to pedestrian and cyclist traffic during the working hours between 6am and 6pm, it will be open to pedestrians and cyclists outside of these.

* The breakwater will be closed to vehicles for the duration of the construction.
