Project sources

Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority has a current AUD 896,000 construction contract with Maintenance Concepts Pty Ltd for the Apollo Bay Harbour seawall under C26-0068. Buying for Victoria records a 20 July to 21 September 2026 contract period but no award or signing date. The owner says the existing wall protects the slipway, port depot and Fishermen's Co-op building and that its condition creates a material failure risk. The new gravity-block wall is planned on the seaward side of the existing structure around the slipway yard. No cited source yet proves site possession, first marine operation, installed quantities, completion or acceptance.

Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority: Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority
Delivery parties: Maintenance Concepts Pty Ltd - source-reported supplier under C26-0068, Demolition, temporary works, block supply, concrete, fill, geotextile, survey and environmental specialists - not named in the published record
Contract route: Buying for Victoria identifies C26-0068 as a current Construction Contracts record for Seawall, with Maintenance Concepts Pty Ltd, a fixed AUD 896,000 total and a 20 July to 21 September 2026 period. The portal record reviewed does not publish an award date, contract-signing date, tender identifier, bidder field or lower-tier schedule.
Execution window: The state portal records 20 July to 21 September 2026. Those are contract-period fields, not proof of site possession, mobilisation, first shoreline operation, practical completion or acceptance. The owner project page describes Stage 3 detailed design moving into Stage 4 construction, while the later state award establishes the delivery contract but not field progress.

Works package: The owner plans a new seawall on the seaward side of the existing wall around the harbour slipway yard. Its official design section shows a gravity-block wall with a concrete pad, geotextile and fill beside the retained existing structure. The protected assets include the slipway, port depot and Fishermen's Co-op building. The wider Apollo Bay Harbour Redevelopment also covers depot, Co-op, viewing-deck, parking and pedestrian works; those elements are not assigned to C26-0068 by the award record.
Marine interfaces: The package sits on an operating harbour edge between beach, slipway, yard and protected buildings. Critical interfaces include temporary shoreline stability, work beside the retained wall, tidal access, block and concrete placement, geotextile and fill control, slipway continuity, survey, public exclusion and protection of harbour operations. No source reviewed identifies the construction method, marine plant, block quantities, design levels or weather allowances.
Commercial evidence boundary: C26-0068 has a fixed AUD 896,000 total in the state award portal. The owner's AUD 12.61 million figure covers the broader Apollo Bay Harbour Redevelopment and is not the seawall contract value, final account or verified saving. No public record reviewed discloses variations, payment status, named subcontractors, suppliers or final value.

Owner sets the broader harbour delivery context

The authority said early enabling works were complete and contractor appointment for the seawall was approaching, while keeping the AUD 12.61 million redevelopment programme broader than this contract.
