Jetty 3 at Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour was replaced by Western Australia's Department of Transport with a modern floating pen system for 45 berths. Tenders WA records the site inside DOT409421RFT, a common design-and-construct contract awarded on 29 April 2022 to Global Trade Sales (Gambetta Holdings Pty Ltd), which the owner called GTS Australia. The official project page photographs demolition and new-pile installation in October 2022 and records completion in 2023. A January 2026 Transport WA article states that the Jetty 3 project cost AUD 4.6 million.

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Western Australia Department of Transport, now Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure
Delivery parties
Global Trade Sales (Gambetta Holdings Pty Ltd), referred to by the owner as GTS Australia - confirmed design-and-construct contractor under DOT409421RFT, Design, demolition, piling, pontoon, services and marine-plant lower tiers - no organization named in the reviewed records
Contract route
Tenders WA records an Open Advertisement one-off works contract with 14 submissions. DOT409421RFT started on 29 April 2022 and has a final expiry date of 21 December 2023. The current page publishes an original estimate of AUD 15,582,213, a revised estimate of AUD 14,464,405 and actual contract expenditure of AUD 14,448,283 for both project sites.
Execution window
The common contract ran from 29 April 2022 to 21 December 2023. Transport WA photographs demolition and new-pile installation in October 2022, planned most Fremantle work for mid to late 2023 and now records Jetty 3 completed in 2023. The cited sources do not publish a precise practical-completion date, reopening date or acceptance certificate.
Works package
At Fremantle, the contract covered demolition and removal of Jetty 3; design, supply and installation of a floating boat-pen system; piling; and power, water, firefighting and CCTV services. The owner states that the completed system accommodates 45 modern berths.
Marine interfaces
The replacement was delivered inside an operating fishing boat harbour serving recreational and commercial vessels. The public evidence confirms demolition, pile installation, floating pens and services, but does not disclose temporary moorings, construction-vessel spreads, pile quantities, pontoon manufacturer, service commissioning tests or the accepted as-built package.
Commercial evidence boundary
The January 2026 owner article gives AUD 4.6 million for Jetty 3, while the 2022-23 annual report estimated AUD 4.936 million and the 2021-22 report had estimated AUD 5.806 million. These dated project-cost statements are not site allocations from DOT409421RFT and should not be added to, subtracted from or used to reconcile the common contract without an owner cost ledger.
