Kingston District Council
Located on the state’s south-east coastline on the shores of Lacepede Bay; “The beach starts here” is the town’s motto for good reason. Following a recommendation from its Maria Creek Sustainable Infrastructure Project Community Focus Group regarding improved vehicle beach access, Kingston District Council met to discuss installing Trackway®.
Access to and from the beach required improvement for 2 and 4-wheel drive vehicles, along with the safe launch and recovery of watercraft. Traversing the car park and along the access route was causing issues for visitors.
30m of C40 Trackway® (4.2m width) was installed, secured with screws, and shipped in a 20ft container. Once installed, the Boat Ramp provided a stable route and could be recovered and moved to an alternate location if required.
“This all-access solution is more than just a temporary boat ramp. In fact, by far the most satisfying outcome is that the council’s safe, popular beaches are now accessible to conventional vehicles as a 4WD isn’t required to use the Trackway®. Not only that, emergency service vehicles and those living with a disability can now also easily access our beaches.”

“Confidence in the community is building, it is getting a lot of use as bigger boats are being launched.”
