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.
