Fleetwood Urban contributes to award-winning waterfront project in Canberra

Fleetwood Urban delivered several important elements of the design during the development of the iconic Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra.

A spectacular artificial lake in the heart of Canberra, Lake Burley Griffin is one of Australia's more recognised icons with its parkland surrounds and central location making it a popular destination for recreational users.

A major waterfront project, 'City To The Lake' was initiated over two years ago involving the creation of the Henry Rolland Park and 150 metres of boardwalk connecting the park to the lake as part of the first stage of development in the West Basin. The finished project features several products from Fleetwood Urban, including a section of boardwalk reaching out into the lake, featuring a brass plated stainless steel balustrade; a pontoon platform at the end of this boardwalk; and brass plated public seating.

This project was awarded a Civil Contractors Federation Earth Award for the best civil construction project ($5-$10 million) in the ACT and surrounding region in 2017/18.
