Environmentally sensitive widening and deepening of Half Moon Creek
was carried out with commendation from the Department of Environment
& Heritage, Local Council and residents. This project involved
clearing of mangroves by amphibious excavator followed up by bucket
wheel cutter suction dredge. A complex system of tailwater control
was set up to ensure minimum effect on the sensitive local environment.
