Densford wins Jetty contract

Densford Civil has been awarded a $5.8 million contract to complete the Jetty Road causeway upgrades at Casuarina Boat Harbour in Bunbury.

The state government said Densford successfully tendered for phase two of the upgrade, which includes the reconstruction of Jetty Road and increased parking with 164 bays.

It also includes the introduction of shared paths and landscaping, the construction of a multi-purpose building incorporating public toilets, and improvements to utility services in the area.

Five South West subcontractors will work on the project, four of them Bunbury-based businesses, with a workforce of 20 engaged in the construction ahead of completion by mid-2020.

Improvements to the causeway structure were completed earlier this year under the $3.5 million phase one works contract.

Regional Development Minister Alannah MacTiernan said one of the election commitments was to upgrade the Bunbury waterfront.

"We are now moving to stage two of Transforming Bunbury's Waterfront, which means more enhancements will be carried out to Jetty Road causeway and then Casuarina Drive,” she said.
