Press Release 16/1/15
Site investigations for the $15 million Eden Breakwater Wharf Extension Project will begin next week, Minister for Natural Resources, Lands and Water Kevin Humphries and Member for Bega Andrew Constance said today.
“The work will include condition assessment of the existing Breakwater Wharf as well as geotechnical and environmental investigations for the Breakwater Wharf extension and the Safe Boating Options study.
“Crown Lands has engaged Australasian Marine Associates as the principal contractor to undertake the geotechnical and environmental investigations and Haskoning Australia to carry out the condition assessment.”
“The geotechnical and environmental investigations will include use of a jack-up barge and a floating barge to obtain rock and sediment samples within Sung Cove,” Mr Constance said.
We are please to be a supporter of the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital and the protection of native animals
Australasian Marine Associates will soon have a paver engraved as a permanent installation on the walkway leading to the Wildlife Hospital.
Donations, such as ours, help to fund Currumbin Wildlife Hospital and the crucial work that they do to save and preseve our native wildlife for future generations to enjoy.
The Hospital has grown to be one of the busiest wildlife hospitals in the world, and cares for a growing number of native wildlife patients as bushland habitats continue to disappear, and cases of life threatening disease continues to rise. We look forward to heading to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary soon to see our company's name on the walkway.

Australasian Marine Associates prepares Review of Environmental Factors for landmark project in Eden
Mr Constance, the member for Eden, said this is a transformative project for the people of Eden and the South East.
“We are getting on with it and this is a critical step forward in the project that will see the NSW Department of Primary Industries - Lands managing the delivery of this important community project. I am so glad the REF is on exhibition and I am continuing to focus on the wave attenuator project as well."
“As a requirement under Part V of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, the Review of Environmental Factors has addressed all environmental matters likely to be affected by the wharf extension project.” Mr Constance said. Environmental factors include water quality, sea conditions (waves and tides), climate change, flora and fauna communities, dredging and sediment quality, traffic management, port operations, air quality and the acoustic environment.
Australasian Marine Associates was engaged to ensure that all investigations were completed using current best practise methods and to the fullest extent possible.
