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).

    Immediate tree removal

    The gum tree in the central island of the Seagull Street car park has been removed today (Wednesday, May 18) due to the tree being declared dead and unsafe.

    Council’s arborist inspected the tree following a resident’s complaint that it looked unhealthy.

    The arborist found grubs in the tree and no evidence of structural or integral root damage.

    An arborist has been onsite for the construction of the car park and works near the tree.

    Council’s parks team will be replacing the tree with a more suitable species.

    Should you have any questions about the tree removal, or the Seagull Street boat ramp project, please contact council's project manager Ben Crowley on 1300 MACKAY (622 529).

    The Seagull Street boat ramp project is expected to be completed this month, weather permitting.

    This project is being overseen by Mackay Regional Council and is funded with the assistance of a $1 million grant from Maritime Safety Queensland.
