The Nightcliff boat ramp has received a new lease of life.

The existing rock wall, or groyne, which shelters the launching area from wave action, has been extended about 50m landward to provide complete protection for the boat ramp.

Previously, there was a gap which allowed waves during big tides to push through onto the ramp, making boat launching dangerous.

Local company Ostojic Transport Pty Ltd was awarded the $134,805 contract earlier this month, and completed the work last week.

Infrastructure Minister Dr Chris Burns said the Martin Government was committed to building a new boat ramp at
Hudson Creek in Darwin Harbour.

Dr Burns also said work has started on raising the level of the boat ramp at Mandorah, which has been plagued by sand drifts.

The $97,280 contract has been awarded to B&J Easy Grader Hire.

Meanwhile, at Borroloola, work has begun on upgrading the ramp at Rocky Creek, including improvements to access. At Mule Creek near Bing Bong, construction of a new boat ramp is about to start.

The Northern Territory Government maintains 24 boat ramps located across the Territory, as well as platforms, wharves, jetties and artificial reefs that support recreational fishing.
