Boardwalk (Port Noarlunga to existing path on the seawall)

Council is using an Early Contractor Involvement process to ensure that constructability is considered as a key part of the design. Following a tender process, Council has appointed BluBuilt Constructions (Blubuilt) to undertake the design and construction of the boardwalk section of the base trail.

Blubuilt has assembled a team of consultants including structural engineers experienced with marine structures and landscape architects to undertake the design. They have extensive experience with coastal work having delivered the Foreshore Access Plan Stage 2 (Port Noarlunga South) and the Snapper Point and South Port boardwalks for the City of Onkaparinga and have also delivered Coast Park developments at Minda Dunes, Kingston Park and Henley Beach.

The first stage of the design is to develop concept designs for the boardwalk. The concept and detailed design will be guided by technical investigations, state funding requirements, and feedback provided by the community and stakeholders.

In designing the boardwalk, the impacts of climate change and future sea level rise have been considered. This includes things like setting the height of the boardwalk so that it allows for sea level rise and ensuring the structure is designed for future ocean conditions.

Following approval by Council the concept plans will be issued to the community.
