What’s Happening?

Maritime Safety Queensland will carry out important repairs at Weinam Street Jetty in Redland Bay.

The work will maintain the jetty’s condition while keeping it safe and suitable for recreational users. It will also help the facility continue serving the Redland Bay community for years to come.

The project will repair concrete elements and fender piles across the jetty. Crews will also fix lighting, maintain water taps and replace mooring cleats.

A full temporary closure will apply during construction. This closure will protect the public while allowing the contractor to complete the work efficiently.

Why It Matters?

Weinam Street Jetty supports recreational boating and provides an important link between the Redland Bay community and local waterways.

The planned repairs will address several parts of the facility that require maintenance. They will also support marine safety and preserve community access over the longer term.

While the closure will temporarily affect users, completing the work will help prevent further deterioration of the jetty.

Local Impact

Recreational users will need to use alternative boating facilities while Weinam Street Jetty remains closed.

Redland City Council operates nearby boat ramps and a floating walkway at Weinam Creek. These facilities will remain available throughout the repair period.

Construction noise should remain within normal levels, although some equipment may create brief periods of louder activity.

People should take extra care around landside and in-water work areas. Temporary signs and directions from the contractor’s site supervisor must also be followed.

Maritime Safety Queensland thanked the community for its patience and cooperation during the repairs.

By the Numbers

  • Onsite work will begin in mid-July 2026, after the busy July school holiday period.
  • Construction will generally run from 6.30 am to 6.30 pm, Monday to Saturday.
  • Completion is planned for late September 2026, subject to weather and site conditions.

Zoom In

The repair program covers several structural and operational parts of Weinam Street Jetty.

Concrete elements will receive repairs, while crews will also address the jetty’s fender piles. These piles help protect vessels and the structure during contact.

Smaller maintenance tasks will cover lighting repairs, water tap servicing and mooring cleat replacement. Together, these works will improve the jetty’s safety and day-to-day function.

The full closure will remain in place throughout construction. This approach will give crews clear access to both landside and in-water work are as.

Alternative recreational boating access is about two kilometres south at Weinam Creek. The site includes council-owned boat ramps and a floating walkway.

Zoom Out

Maritime Safety Queensland is responsible for supporting safe boating and maintaining access to marine facilities across Queensland.

The Weinam Street project will address current maintenance needs while preserving an important community facility in Redland Bay.

Although users will face a temporary closure, nearby facilities will help maintain recreational boating access during the work.

What To Look For Next?

Maritime Safety Queensland will issue a Notice to Mariners closer to the start of onsite work.

The notice will be published through the Queensland Government’s Brisbane Notices to Mariners dataset.

Work remains planned for completion in late September 2026. However, weather and construction conditions may affect the final timing.
