Kurrimine Beach boat ramp upgrade
Location: Kurrimine Beach
Timing: Construction starting mid-2026
We are delivering a major upgrade of the public recreational boat ramp at Kurrimine Beach. When complete, the new ramp will significantly improve access.
Maritime Safety Queensland is progressing construction of a major upgrade of the boat ramp at Bramble Street, Kurrimine Beach. The project is funded by the Queensland Government’s Marine Infrastructure Investment Program.
The new ramp design has been developed in close consultation with Cassowary Coast Regional Council and local boat ramp users to ensure the best possible outcome for the Kurrimine Beach community. When complete, the new ramp will significantly improve safety and access for boat users, as well as supporting natural coastal processes and sand movement along the beach.
Benefits

Key features
This project will include:
- A new two-lane piled boat ramp with a 1:8 slope, constructed using Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) precast concrete piles and beams.
- A fixed GFRP walkway with handrails and fender systems.
- Improved tidal access by extending the ramp seaward.
- Design features to allow natural sand movement, reducing the need for costly beach nourishment .
Funding
The Queensland Government has committed $3.8 million to this program through the Maritime Infrastructure Investment Program.
Current status
For the safety of work crews and the public, access to the boat ramp and surrounding area will be closed during construction.
Locals might also notice some increased dust, noise and general construction activities and workers near the boat ramp location.
