Project: Haliday Bay Carpark and Footpath
Work Involved with Project: Carpark Geometric Design, Footpath Design, Design Documentation, Cost Estimates and Design Support During Construction
Tetra Consulting was engaged by Mackay Regional Council to design and document a new carpark and footpath with the carpark located at the swimming enclosure and the footpath between the carpark and Haliday Bay Road, Haliday Bay.
With the carpark and footpath being located alongside the Haliday Bay coastline, Tetra Consulting investigated pavement alternatives to reduce impervious impacts by providing a permeable paver configuration, allowing stormwater to seep through the pavers rather than being channelised causing erosion. These works have improved the facilities available to help increase tourism, whilst reducing environmental impact.
