Yorkeys Knob brings new standard for boating facilities

Hall Contracting has successfully delivered another amazing project for Queenslanders, the new Yorkeys Knob boating facility.

The new recreational boating facility has been built on reclaimed land between the Yorkeys Knob Boat Club and the Half Moon Bay Golf Club.

The scope of works delivered is a first of its kind for Queensland boaties, featuring a six-lane boat ramp with three floating walkways; two new breakwaters; a dredged basin and access channel; reclamation works; queuing beaches; a new access road and footpath; a new amenities block and golf course protective fencing.

Planning for the project has been underway since 2017, onsite works started in February 2022, with the completion in early-September 2023. The new facility is now open just in time for the September school holidays and the Black Marlin fishing season.

The $22.4 million project was jointly funded by Transport and Main Roads and Cairns Regional Council.
