Port Projects
Shute Harbour, Whitsundays
Whitsunday Regional Council
Shute Harbour Redevelopment
Shute Harbour was originally constructed in the early 1960’s as an ideal location for a departure point to service local island and reef trips due to its central proximity to nearby tourist attractions. Further infrastructure improvements were completed in both the 1970’s and again in the late 1990’s / early 2000’s.
PDM provided the project management team to scope, manage design, and construction phases for the reconstruction of the Shute Harbour precinct. The project objective was to re-establish the commercial functionality without restricting the ability to future proof the requirements of the site.
The reconstruction of Shute Harbour includes a sea wall, carpark, fuel facilities, a harbour terminal building, six floating pontoons that create 3 finger pontoons.
AIMS Ports
Australian Institute of Marine Science
Cape Ferguson
PDM was engaged by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) to manage the initiation of this project by providing Principal professionals to undertake a range of services in developing the project outcomes. These outcomes are driven by climate change response, sustainability, innovation, renewable energy, and energy conservation.
The Project builds on AIMS internationally recognised capabilities in marine biodiversity, water quality and ecosystems health, marine microbiology and symbiosis, and impacts and adaption to climate change. AIMS mission is “to generate and transfer knowledge to support the sustainable use and protection of the marine environment through innovative, world class scientific and technological research”.
The Project consists of the following elements:-
Ocean simulator and seawater enhancements
Expanded facilities to support growth in Townsville, including a Tropical Marine Collections Facility;
Implementation of new technologies to reduce energy consumption;
A vessel berthing and operations facility in Townville; and
Darwin Coastal Environmental Research Laboratories Expansion.
