Lewisham Boat Ramps

DM Composites designed, supplied, and fabricated modular FRP jetty structures for the Lewisham Boat Ramp Upgrade, delivering durable, low-maintenance extensions that improve marine safety and public access while supporting sustainable coastal infrastructure.

LOCATION

Located on Tasmania’s scenic coastline, the Lewisham Jetty Upgrade forms part of MAST’s long-term infrastructure enhancement program aimed at improving public boating facilities and marine safety. The project involved a 12.8-metre extension of the existing northern jetty and the construction of an entirely new 30-metre southern jetty, both designed to meet the increasing demand from recreational boaters and fishing enthusiasts along the Dodges Ferry and Lewisham foreshore.

OUTCOME

Modular FRP jetty installation delivering safe, low-maintenance access at Lewisham Boat Ramp.

The Lewisham upgrade demonstrates how FRP technology transforms traditional marine construction:

  • Zero corrosion risk in saltwater and UV environments.
  • Reduced installation weight, enabling manual handling and smaller cranes.
  • No painting or coating required — pigmentation is fully impregnated into the resin, eliminating the peeling and maintenance issues commonly seen in coated FRP profiles used elsewhere in Tasmania.
  • Composite fenders and WPC bracing blocks, aligning with MAST’s sustainability objectives.
