Project Spotlight
Barolin Esplanade (Coral Cove Estate)
The SGQ Bundaberg crew have been dodging golf balls from adjacent course while expertly delivering Stages 1 & 2 of the Coral Cove Ocean Estate for Devcore Property Group. Currently awarded works require complete construction of 80 residential lots as part of the future 1200 lot master planned estate (including reconfigured 18-hole golf course, retail center and tourism precinct).
The project crew (led by Paul Andrew, Jason Mcguirk and Shane Smith) have progressed works well in the first half of 2024, including all underground infrastructure, subgrade treatments, pavements, retaining walls, permanent sediment basins and landscaping to look on track for completion of current scope in July.
Bonna Road Upgrade
Commencing in March 2024, for Bundaberg Regional Council, the project led by Paul Andrew and Simon McDonald, has progressed well into Stage 2 of 4. The Road Widening and Shoulder Improvement works is located on the outskirts of Bundaberg, off Childers road and will be a much needed upgrade for local residents.
The crew have achieved great results thus far, negotiating traffic management, plenty of local resident interaction as well as proximity with overhead power and underground infrastructure. Current Scope is on schedule for completion in September 2024.
