South Australian civil infrastructure firm Bardavcol will deliver infrastructure upgrades totalling more than $23 million in Fisherman Bay, in the Yorke Peninsula.
This will include works on a wastewater collection system, road upgrades, a new stormwater system as well as coastal protection measures.
The work represents more than $20 million in private investments, between the Fisherman’s Bay Management and the Barunga West Council.
Maree Wauchope, CEO Barunga West Council said the works would provide a boost to the region’s infrastructure for residents.
“It’s exciting to be at the starting line of construction for this transformational project, which will see over $20 million worth of private investment, and another $3 million of State Government grant money, spent in our region and which will allow Fisherman Bay residents to finally obtain freehold title over their land,” Wauchope said.
“An investment of this scale in Fisherman Bay is an investment in the future of our region, and one that will generate widespread economic, environmental and health benefits for the entire Barunga West community.”
In addition to the infrastructure works, the Barunga West Council will lead a $3 million upgrade of the areas existing Community Wastewater Management System.
The Community Wastewater Management System upgrade and associated works will commence this month ahead of a mid- 2022 completion date.
David Hosking, Chairman of Fisherman’s Bay Management said the works reflect the regions efforts to support community infrastructure.
“Importantly, this milestone will see us deliver on our promise to invest in the future of Fisherman Bay and provide residents with ownership over their own piece of this beautiful corner of the world,” he said.
“We look forward to seeing our community thrive as a result of this new infrastructure.”
