Semaphore Coastal Park Walkway

The Walkway was a state and federally funded initiative to beautify and increase safety along the Adelaide Coastal Park.

The Project involved construction of a new 3 metre shared path within the existing dune frontage of Semaphore to incorporate the continuation of the Coastal Park shared use path, which starts at Aldinga Beach and stretches the Adelaide Metro Coast to North Haven. BluBuilt was engaged to build the new community and sporting facility to house two clubs – Ingle Farm Soccer Club and Northern Districts Baseball Club, they work with supplier of high quality propping and provide a comprehensive and innovative product range which is backed by reliable service and advice. This involved designing and erecting an entirely new structure, a project made more challenging by needing to accommodate sporting schedules and community needs.

Challenges

Due to the close proximity of works to residents and coastal dunes, Blubuilt engaged in community relations and communicated regularly with residents and the Coastal Protection Board to ensure minimal impact on the local community, sensitive dunes and beach goers.
