Lake Barrine Boardwalk

Executive Summary

The partnership between Wagners CFT and Contour Works resulted in the successful delivery of a new boardwalk located in the heart of Australia’s iconic Crater Lake National Park, addressing the challenges faced by the existing trail that did not comply with AS standards and lacked DDA accessibility. The project's goals included identifying optimal materials, reducing ongoing maintenance, and incorporating a collaboration of Wagners CFT FRP, timber, and steel.

"Wagners CFT’s ability to provide an innovative and sustainable solution that utilised various materials was instrumental in the success of this project. Their professionalism, responsiveness and ability to work within tight timelines made them a valuable partner."
