Montague Island Burunguba is a small island located nine kilometres off the south coast of NSW near Narooma. Popular with tourists for the array of wildlife including the largest colony of little penguins in NSW, thousands of birds and a colony of fur seals.   

When the NSW Parks and Wildlife team needed to update the 400-metre-long access track on the island, they called in the team from our Narooma plant. 

The Narooma team was asked to supply 90 cubic metres of concrete in three cubic metre loads across four days. The only way of supplying a project like this is with a helicopter and kibble. 

While the volume supplied is small by comparison to our other projects, the location added an element of risk and additional time pressure with any delays resulting in increased helicopter charges.  

Operations Manager Southern NSW/ACT Hayden Gibson-Hearne said, “the Narooma team didn't miss a beat all week and our customer praised the team for their efforts and service”.  

Nice work team Narooma – looks like you have the customer's seal of approval!
