Project Overview
As part of its master plan to firmly position Busselton as the Events Capital of Regional WA, the City of Busselton is undertaking significant upgrades to the ageing foreshore area immediately adjacent to the Busselton Jetty.
The Busselton Foreshore Development master plan incorporates enhanced public amenities including a skate park; pedestrian activities areas; a youth and community activities building; a refurbished Railway House and Visitor Centre; and refurbished Jetty; as well as provisions for future short stay accommodation, a micro-brewery, restaurant, and more.
Leeuwin Civil, a locally owned and operated civil construction firm were engaged by City of Busselton Major Projects Division to design and construction of new underground infrastructure to make ready for future foreshore developments which would allow for future hotels, apartments, restaurants and refurbishments at the Jetty and Railway House.

Construction of the Jetty Way pedestrian link also involved the supply and laying of 3,000m2 of exposed aggregate concrete between Foreshore Parade and the Busselton Jetty abutment, and a new Rail Track slab for the famous Busselton Jetty train.
