The Wharf 7 project at Eastland Port is “coming along nicely” says port infrastructure manager Marty Bayley. More than 115 of the steel piles for the new dock have been installed, with only 40 left to be put in place.

“The team at McConnell Dowell have started scour protection and installing some deck panels in the last couple of weeks,” said Mr Bayley.

“We're really pleased with how the project is running and are still on track to complete the rebuild for October 2023.”
