How fixed and floating structures serve different access needs.
Fixed jetty
Provides a stable platform, often useful for access across shallow water or connecting to a gangway.
Floating pontoon
Moves with the water level and can provide convenient vessel access through the tide.
Combined systems
Many properties use a fixed jetty or shore landing connected to a floating pontoon by gangway.
Site constraints decide
Water depth, navigable area, approvals, frontage and vessel size influence the layout.
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.
