Projex Partners were engaged by Cassowary Coast Regional Council to carry out detailed design & RPEQ certification and to produce bill of quantities and safety in design documentation for pedestrian and stormwater drainage upgrades at the intersection of Alice and Fitzgerald Streets, Innisfail. Projex Partners met with Council representatives on site to appreciate the various constraints and opportunities of the project and to discuss potential solutions. Fitzgerald Street is a relatively high-volume thoroughfare for vehicular traffic in Innisfail and with the site being immediately adjacent Innisfail Hospital and the North Johnstone River, there is high pedestrian activity. New footpath extensions and widenings, DDA-compliant kerb ramps, kerb & channel, pedestrian refuges, blister islands, signage and linemarking were provided in the design to facilitate improvement to the safety of pedestrian movements in the area.

Pettigrew Street Reserve Caboolture
Design and documentation of 4 drainage treatment upgrades located across the Moreton Bay Region.
Pettigrew Street included the design and construction certification of a Ecosol Trash Rack and surrounding works including fencing and barriers.
Midge Point Boat Ramp
Midge Point boat ramp included the design of a boat ramp and causeway north of Mackay. The causeway and ramp are located within tidal land and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park which required the location to be positioned to minimise impact on marine plants and fish passage while minimising the footprint of works in an exposed coastal location.
Cupania Street, Mudjimba
The detailed design adopted a curvelinear alignment to assist with traffic calming and to suit adjacent streets. Existing public utility services were thoroughly investigated to ensure conflicts were avoided. The stormwater drainage design was aligned with Council’s drainage master plan for minor and major storm events. Careful consideration of existing property accesses and future property accesses where allotments would be filled, was undertaken to future-proof the design. Our detailed design documentation facilitated a safe and efficient construction phase for Council and the community is now enjoying the upgraded road environment.
