Gabul Way is a much anticipated walkway connecting Nelly and Geoffrey Bays on Magnetic Island in Far North Queensland.

The 710 m elevated walkway made from recycled plastic, complements the island's existing 25 km walking track network and provides spectacular views over the Coral Sea.

Townsville Mayor Cr Jenny Hill said that in addition to its tourist appeal, the walkway also greatly improves public safety, which has been a long running issue on the island.

Joey Bugelli, from Pitt Bull Constructions in Townsville, and Mark Jacobsen, from Replas, inspect boardwalk panels destined for the Magnetic Island boardwalk which is currently under construction.

Replas recently attended the Building for a Profitable Future trade show held by Townsville Enterprise in conjunction with the Townsville Council and Ergon. Held at the Mecure Inn in Townsville, the show was attended by real estate individuals, developers, builders and contractors. If you would like Replas to attend your expo call 1800 REPLAS to make a booking.

Perched high on a hill in Bowen, a North Queensland town halfway between Townsville and Mackay, sits these beautiful Beachcomber Seats. With their dolphin motif they are a colourful addition to this stunning location and provide a welcome place to rest and soak up the views.

Over 2000 Enduroplank™ decking planks were loaded onto a truck heading for Magnetic Island just off Townsville, Queensland. This is the second major boardwalk built with Enduroplank™ on the island and will require 80 lineal metres of two-metre wide boardwalk to be installed on a 45 degree slope.

Townsville City Council purchased the first boardwalk in March 2008. A detailed comparative cost analysis revealed significant economic advantages of using composite and recycled materials over traditional ones and the project was completed on budget and ahead of schedule. Replas is very proud that many years later the council has once again chosen Enduroplank™ for this new boardwalk stretching from Nelly Bay to Arcadia

At a meeting designed to workshop elements of the new City Planning Scheme with residents, Townsville Councillor, Trevor Roberts, revealed the plans and artist’s impressions for the 710-metre engineered walkway to be constructed on Magnetic Island. The plans illustrate a boardwalk style walkway constructed of recycled-plastic decking boards with stainless steel balustrade and handrails. Cr Roberts said the walkway would be constructed in two sections. The first, from Geoffrey Bay towards Nelly Bay, will be 350 m long by 2.5 m wide leading to the first of two viewing platforms. Replas has already supplied the Enduroplank™ decking boards for this exciting project which will also be disabled access compliant.

Stockland North Shore is a new residential development 12 kilometres north of Townsville CBD. Landscapers, JMAC, chose to use 40x90 recycled-plastic profiles from Replas to create an elegant finish to local parklands.

Jason Zimmer, Project Manager with JMAC said, the main issue the profiles addressed was that the, ‘Edging doesn’t break down,’ comparing it with timber which, ‘rots after a year or so’.

The 22nd bi-annual North Queensland Field Days event was held at Townsville in May 2012. The event which is held at the Stuart Correctional Farm Reserve over two days, features 500 blocks with power and water facilities for exhibitors prepared by the Correctional Centre. The Field Days are without a doubt the largest and most successful of their type in Queensland and one of the biggest in Australia.

Students at Vincent State School in Townsville make use of Exercite™ fitness equipment installed on their oval, during break times and as part of their class daily fitness activities. During the recent tornado the school suffered damage to buildings and grounds. However, due to the sturdy nature of the fitness equipment it survived unscathed.

‘Once cleared of debris, our students were able to once again enjoy using the fitness equipment.’ Christie Schmid, Principal, Vincent State School.
