Rockingham Foreshore

Home > Projects > Rockingham Foreshore

The City of Rockingham provided a project brief which included the use of sustainable timber, which would perform in the harsh coastal environment and endure the daily wear of pedestrian foot traffic.

With this in mind, landscape architect firm Place Laboratory engaged Austim to help meet the project brief whilst considering any ongoing maintenance costs to the client.

Recycled spotted gum with a hand brushed finish was the choice of product, not only to meet the design intent but to also meet the slip rating safety requirements along with a minimal maintenance schedule.

Left to naturally age with CUTEK® oil applied, the arbours, seating and decking have softened the harder appearance of the surrounding surfaces, to bring warmth to the coastal location.

With great collaboration between all parties involved, this outdoor coastal space has been successfully created for people to enjoy for years to come. Once again, Austim is proud to be involved with such a great project and to help facilitate the use of timber in our pristine W.A. coastal environments.

Austim is always the first place I try when I need timber and it’s rare that I can’t get what I need there. Stuart is a rare gem of a gent to deal with – quick to respond to any queries, full of good advice and goes out of his way to help get whatever project I’m working on happening to my schedule, even when all I need is a few sticks and a handful of fixings. Highly recommend Austim, the team and young Stuart.

Hi Ben,Just wanted to thankyou for your help and advice in our selection of the Millboard Vintage Oak decking also in you recommending Grant from Premier Hardwood Decking. Grant has just completed our decking and we couldn't have asked for a more professional, reliable and competent tradesman. The decking has been installed to a very high standard and the decking itself is stunning. Ian and Sue

I've used Austim on a few occasions for home projects like decking and pergola, etc and each time the response to my requests for price and delivery have been excellent, the deliveries took place as negotiated, the timber quality was great and value for money. The team at Austim do a great job and make dealing with Austim a breeze.

I had been looking for some cedar for my kayak project and had rung a couple of other places with no luck. When I contacted Austim they were very helpful, had the timber in stock and I was on my was in 20 minutes. The wood was very good quality and has really finished up beautifully. Thanks to Austim.

I"d like to thank Austim for there help in supplying me with material that firstly I thought I'd have trouble sourcing as it was marring up with originally 30 year old existing timber.My project was not a massive project but still needed the attention of an new build.The timber supplied by Austim was machined to size with absolute perfection, where I had to remove old pieces and replace with the new pieces they fitted perfectly.once the floors are re-sanded and varnished they will be back to there former glory. Thanks again to the staff at Austim.Regards Bob Heppenstall.I've just added a finished photo after the Floor Sanding was completed.Original timber was Tassie Oak, and the new is Vic Ash, as you can see there is only a slight variation in the final product.I hope this gives anyone thinking doing the same the confidence to proceed. Regards Bob Heppenstall.
