The project was a region first ‘relining’ of box culverts with a custom-built, glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) liner, designed to carry all loadings. The project was a region first ‘relining’ for box culverts and proactively addressed the region’s stormwater needs.

The Excellence Award for best project between $1-2 million and a High Commendation for Coastal Engineering went to Maroochy Groyne Renewal Project.

This environmentally sensitive project used more than 2,000 nine tonne sand-filled geotextile containers to renew two groyne structures and a seawall.

The complex project now protects the iconic waterfront #CottonTree Holiday Park, valuable recreation areas, businesses, accommodation and residential properties, from erosion.
