Kawana Boat Ramp Closing

[ILikeBlu]

Heard on the news that they are closing the Kawana ramp for a few months for upgrades Write when the fishing starts to get good and the winds are down

hhmm that should make life interesting for you guys, but I guess in the end it may be well worth it.

i reckon kawana bait n tackle will be a bit unhappy about it also. hopefully its better than it is now tho o its all worthwhile

talking about the ramp on the South side of the river I guess, not the double ramp next to the CG on the North side? Thanks for the heads up, will definitely make things interersting on good days.

Kawana ramp closing, Mooloolaba staying open... The roundabout near McDonalds might pose an issue for the larger 8m boats though.. Or so I read.

Hope they do a well thought out upgrade.
We always launched our canoe from the Tingalpa creek ramp, which was recently closed and upgraded.... they did a great job, except there's still very little parking spaces there. It's a much nicer ramp now, but I would have thought, logically, that they may have put a couple more parking spaces in there. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they upgraded it, it needed it....
Cheers!

I guess when it comes to upgrades, the Authorities responsible (Council?) need to consult some Boaties/fisherman/yakkers/whoever, I have seen one of the ramps near me closed for major "works" and when it was completed all that was actualy done was some parking spaces lost, and a garden and picnic tables built!!! hardly a ramp upgrade I would reckon, so in your interest, get along to the relevant Council and have a look at the plans (they must have them) or maybe it is diffeent in QLD and it is done by some other Authority and you will need to search for them, no use waiting for a couple of months and find out they have done bugger all to help the boaters, but the whole area looks "nice"
