Upper concourse structural steel has commenced with the large, welded beams being lifted into position. The remaining concrete plat seating has been installed including the VIP seating area that sits outside the Hamilton Room.

The last of the GBRA ground slabs were poured and blockwork and concrete columns followed allowing for the commencement of formwork.

The concourse walkways have been lined with Bondek in preparation for concrete works to follow the already poured entry ramp and stairs.

The service trades have increased activity on site with rough in commencing on the amenities.

A big month of August awaits with the following key objectives to be undertaken:

FRP main Level 1 slab to North Stand Building
Continued install of structural steel to upper concourse and north stand building.
Install Purlins in preparation for roofing commencement
Continue with scaffold installation as required
Majority of blockwork to be finalised in August with the remaining lift shaft and access stairs to be completed in September
Installation of footings and lower steel for cricket sight screen
Footings to be installed in preparation for the Plaza deck

We’ll also be welcoming a few visitors to site during August… stay tuned for updates!

May Project Update

June Project Update

June proved to be a productive month with some good weather finally prevailing. This allowed the Great Barrier Reef Arena structure to really start to take shape.

May Project Update

The month of May unfortunately saw more unseasonable wet weather fall across the Mackay Region. Despite this works have been progressing well with both Civil Bulk Earthworks and Civil Stormwater nearing completion and all footings for the main building structure complete.

April Project Update

After a wet month in April combined with multiple public holidays, works have continued to progress on site as much as possible.

March Project Update

Works continued in March with the large footings beams to the grandstand area being poured up to Gridline 11. Footings and ground slabs will continue to progress into April.

February Project Update

With February a short month, and amongst recent wet weather, the piling platform works are now complete with the piling works wrapping up this week. The piling rig will leave site Monday putting an end to the noisiest portion of works on the project.

January Project Update

The team are back on deck after the Christmas New Year break.

Design is still progressing, whilst on the ground, progress has been made on the piling platform and early civil works, with the driven piling works to commence next week.
