Funding confirmed for Bullock Point
More than 70 boat ramps across Queensland will receive a $30 million boost over the next two years, and our Bullock Point, near Inskip Point is one of them.
Earmarked for 2016/2017 is a new two lane boat ramp, and the planned floating walkway will improve access when launching and retrieving boats.
The new all tide boating facility with planned new CTU parking area nearby (provided by Gympie Council) will help meet the demand for recreational boating facilities in the region and provide improved access to Tin Can Bay and the Great Sandy Strait. A new floating walkway will provide.
The report states the old boat ramp in very poor condition. There is good all tide water access and plenty of space for parking. At the moment the area is underutilised.
Main Roads and Ports Minister Mark Bailey said, “One in every 19 Queenslanders own a boat, and the popularity of recreational boating and fishing is continually.
“About 70 per cent of these projects are in regional Queensland and feasibility studies will also be completed across the State to investigate the possibility of future works.
“With Queensland leading the nation with boat registrations, it’s important we cater for growth and demand well into the future.”
