Minister for Transport and Main Roads The Honourable Mark Bailey The Palaszczuk Government’s multi-million-dollar upgrade of the Gold Coast’s Sand Bypass System jetty is complete, supporting ongoing Seaway and inland coastal waterways access for boaties and commercial operators. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the $3.35 million Gold Coast Waterways Authority (GCWA) project involved installing extra support beams underneath the jetty deck and widening the decking to enable more modern and bigger cranes to be used for maintenance. ‘The Palaszczuk Government is investing more than $34 million to upgrade and maintain our waterways on the Gold Coast and also support close to 100 jobs as part of Queensland’s COVID-19 economic recovery plan,’ Mr Bailey said.
