Seagull Street boat ramp
Boaties can now access our tremendous fisheries at Slade Point!
The Seagull Street boat ramp project is completed and open to the public.
The new facility includes a single-lane boat ramp on the south bank of McCreadys Creek, at Seagull Street, Slade Point, two parking areas to accommodate 15 car and trailer parking bays, and stairs off the ramp for unrestricted beach frontage access.
This facility is a big step from what was here before.
The earlier ramp was pretty much timber slats on the beach and was subject to severe scouring and erosion of the banks.
This project was overseen by Mackay Regional Council and was funded with the assistance of a $1 million grant from Maritime Safety Queensland.
Should you have any questions about this project, please contact council's project manager Benjamin Crowley on 1300 MACKAY (622 529).
