Blessed with a string of 150mm Depth beaches, shallow coves and low-lying wetlands, Yeppoon is a popular destination for tourists, young families and Livingstone Shire Council: Council retirees looking to soak up the Central Queensland sun. Published in August 2018, the Livingstone Shire Council’s Active Livingstone Strategy Concrete Tandy Concrete identified a strong desire among locals to connect the Pineapple Coast Rail Trail with Supplier: the Yeppoon Foreshore. As result, the Livingstone Shire Council committed resources to developing additional linkages to the rail trail, further enhancing the Concrete Mix N32/20 community’s connectivity. Design: Fibercon MPP Fibres ICT Distributor: Concreters Warehouse Finish July 2020 Date: Product Danley™ PaveX™ In December 2019, the Livingstone Shire Council partnered with Tandy Concrete, Expanda™ Fibercon and ICT Concreters Warehouse to design and construct a vital 2.2km stretch Used: 100mm Kit of 2.5m wide shared bikeway along Barmaryee Road. The goal? To provide a safe and accessible shared-use pavement that connects recreational walkers, cyclists and mobility-impaired locals with Yeppoon‘s newly constructed Barmaryee Sportsground facilities. The challenge? CORROSION! If there is one problem with stunning beaches and low-lying wetlands, it is the damage that corrosion can cause to the concrete joints in surrounding pavements, which results in spalling and potential tripping hazards.

The first is to restore the fundamental and basic democratic rights of every community to make their own decisions about determining their future, and setting their own priorities while considering the broader Regional context. The second, and equally important, is delivering a better model of Local Government to provide for sound decision making, while empowering our business, industry and primary producers with a better focussed and a more inclusive ‘grassroots’ foundation from which to promote and enhance regional economic growth and prosperity. These combined objectives will ensure the proposed Capricorn Coast Regional Council area can realise and optimise its full potential in partnership with the greater Rockhampton area.
