A balanced comparison for Gold Coast waterfront homeowners.
Concrete pontoons
Often selected for a solid feel, mass and durability, but transport and support requirements need consideration.
Aluminium pontoons
Can be lighter and highly customisable, with marine grade detailing important for long term performance.
The support system matters
Piles, cables, struts, gangways and shore connections are as important as the floating platform.
Choose for the site
The best option depends on vessel use, exposure, tidal movement, maintenance preference and budget.
Important: This guide is general information only. Waterfront structures and approval requirements must be assessed for the individual property.
When to arrange a site assessment
Arrange an inspection when visible conditions are changing, safety is uncertain, a purchase or sale is approaching, or you need a reliable project scope and budget.
