This project formed part of continual planning for footpath infrastructure for the Mackay Regional Council Sustainability Strategy 2017-2022. The new footpath predominantly provides access for school students, both walking and riding their bikes, to travel safely to and from school along Yakapari-Seaforth Road, Seaforth.

• 4 Composite fibre structure boardwalks including driven and bored piers, constructed across 4 separate waterways.
• 4 km of asphalt surfaced pathway
  Seaforth Civil supplied all labour, plant, material, supervision and survey for this project. Scope included:

Survey set out;

• Location and identification of existing services, protection of existing services and infrastructure
• Demolition and removal of required existing structures
• Installation of new structures and connection to existing network
• Restoration of all disturbed areas
• Construction of unbound pavement and asphalt surfacing
• Construction of property drainage across footpath

Concrete works;

• Extensions to existing drainage pipe culvert structures
• Supply and installation of pavement markings and signage
• Restoration of all disturbed areas
• Compilation and submission of As-Constructed documentation

The new shared pathway is a fantastic sight as you approach Seaforth as it rolls through the trees, and the boardwalks provide a striking picture where they span the waterways.

The pathway provides a safe passage for schoolchildren to travel from the main community to the school, and provides a much anticipated recreational facility for all local residents to walk, run or ride that has been used and enjoyed since the day of opening.
