Jetty builders & pontoon specialists in Paradise Point.
Paradise Point is the northern Gold Coast’s premier canal-estate suburb - large 700-1,400m² canal-frontage blocks built through the 1970s-90s with most jetty stock now approaching end-of-life. About 70% of our local Paradise Point work is premium replacement of original 30-50-year-old timber jetties with modern composite-deck-on-hardwood-pile or full structural rebuild.
The Paradise Point jetty story.
Original 1970s-90s jetty stock now end-of-life.
About 70% of Paradise Point canal-frontage homes have a 1970s-90s timber jetty built when the suburb was first subdivided. Treated softwood piles (the standard spec until the late 1990s) have a marine-borer-limited canal-water lifespan of 20-35 years. Most original Paradise Point jetties are now well past that - pile diameter has visibly necked-in just below the waterline, decking has had multiple board replacements, and stringers have rotted out at the pile-cap interface. We see three to five rebuild quotes a week here.
Premium replacement spec is the norm.
Paradise Point blocks transact for $2.5m-$5m+ - a $25K-$60K jetty rebuild is a small fraction of property value and almost always a net-positive at sale. The 2026 standard build here is H6 marine-grade CCA hardwood piles or composite-cased concrete piles (50-100+ year design life), F17 turpentine or ironbark structural bearers, hardwood or composite decking (owner preference), 316 marine-grade stainless balustrade, and integrated low-voltage LED step-and-handrail lighting. Most rebuilds include a single-bay or finger pontoon for tender / day boat access.
Deep-water canal access - pontoon-friendly.
Most Paradise Point canal sections sit in 1.5-3.0m of water at mean low tide - deep enough for 6-9m vessel mooring directly off the jetty without the keel grounding. That makes pontoon installation straightforward (the floating pontoon maintains constant freeboard regardless of the 1.0-1.5m tidal range). Block frontages are typically 18-25m wide which leaves room for both a fixed jetty AND a side-finger pontoon - the premium configuration.
