M+J Builders have recently completed a rewarding project in Cullen Bay as a part of the precinct revitalisation project. Alongside other key contractors, the goal of the project was to attract locals and visitors to the precinct by creating a stronger connection between the beachfront and the marina. 

This involved adding greening and cooling features to make the area more vibrant. 

Shade trees, lawns and tropical plants were used to create a refreshing streetscape that people want to visit, following a soft-scape approach. Revitalising the precinct will also help to promote local businesses. 

The project came with its challenges. The M+J team had to navigate pedestrians, council property, roads and traffic. It was important that the general public still had the ability to get where they needed to go. 

Here’s what M+J Builders completed during the project:

• installed three shade structures around the Marina
  
  
• installed seating, paving, concrete and arbours over shops - the goal here was to create informal seating and gathering spaces
  
  
• installed lighting that creates eye-catching art effects, bringing the space to life at night
  
  
• built disabled access to the beach and gardens
