CRIBAFULLI GOVERNMENT DELIVERED THE TOOGOOM BOAT RAMP AHEAD OF SCHEDULE
- The Crisafulli Government opened the upgraded Toogoom boat ramp ahead of schedule and just in time for the busy Easter boating period.
- The upgraded facility delivers a widened two-lane ramp and a new central floating walkway, improving safety, access and ease of use for boaties.
- The ramp is now open and ready for use, demonstrating the Crisafulli Government’s commitment to delivering a fresh start for Maryborough.
The Toogoom upgrade is part of the Queensland Government’s targeted investment in marine infrastructure across the Great Sandy Marine Park and will allow locals and visitors the opportunity to enjoy safer, easier access to the Great Sandy Strait.
The improved two-lane facility features a new central floating walkway designed to make launching and retrieving vessels safer, easier and more efficient for all users, supporting the recreational boating that underpins the region’s tourism and coastal lifestyle.
Toogoom is one of four priority sites included in the regional marine infrastructure upgrade package, alongside Poona, Walkers Point, and dredging works at Gatakers Landing—projects that are restoring facilities after years of underinvestment and neglect by the former Labor Government.
LNP Member for Maryborough, John Barounis, said the Crisafulli Government delivering the project ahead of schedule was a strong result for the local community and visitors enjoying the Great Sandy Strait.
“For too long under Labor, regional boating infrastructure was overlooked, with locals left to put up with outdated and unsafe facilities,” Mr Barounis said.
“Our focus has been on fixing what Labor ignored—delivering practical upgrades that improve safety, usability and meet the expectations of the community, to deliver a better lifestyle through a stronger economy.
“The new central floating walkway will make launching and retrieving vessels safer and more efficient, particularly in variable tides, and it shows what can be achieved when regional Queensland is treated as a priority, not an afterthought.”
