DTMI has delivered another big project in the ongoing transformation of Bunbury’s waterfront.
Work to upgrade the groyne at Koombana Bay was recently completed providing the local community with a safer and higher structure that will immediately help maintain the beach and provide protection, and in time could be part of a future marina.
The previously unsafe and dilapidated groyne has been completely rebuilt with an additional 21,000 tonnes of rock.
The work on the groyne was undertaken as part of the $69.2 million contract awarded to WA based and owned companies WA Limestone Contracting and Italia Stone Group for the construction of a new northern breakwater at nearby Casuarina Boat Harbour.
The upgraded Koombana groyne will also help to maintain the channel into Leschenault Inlet by preventing sand infill.
The project was delivered by DTMI as part of the wider $112.2 million Stage 3.1 of the Transforming Bunbury’s Waterfront initiative, led by the South West Development Commission.
