The upgrade was part of the State Government’s four-year, $50 billion Queensland infrastructure guarantee. Member for Keppel Brittany Lauga said boaties could now make the most of the new two-lane ramp, about 35 km north of Yeppoon on the western bank of Water Park Creek. “We’re upgrading the Bruce Highway, we’ve got funding locked in for the Rockhampton-Yeppoon Road and now keen fishers have easier access to Corio Bay,” she said. Corio Bay was part of the no-commercial-netting area proclaimed in 2015. Ms Lauga said the government awarded the Corbett’s Landing contract upgrade to Queensland-based Australian Marine and Civil, which would now turn its attention to the Thompson Point boat ramp, which is expected to be complete within coming months.
