DESIGN OPTIONS FOR MARINE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE FITZROY RIVER DELTA

Abstract

This paper discusses the challenges in designing public boating infrastructure in vast tidal flood plains, including the different construction techniques used, lessons learned in design and construction and how they have been adapted in other projects. The case study focuses on two recreational public boating infrastructure projects at Inkerman Creek and Casuarina Creek, located in the flood plain delta of the Fitzroy River in the Central Queensland region.
