The initial stage of the stunning Rockingham Foreshore Redevelopment has opened to the public in time for summer.

Marine grade aluminium with colour anodising in Sapphire’s Matt Cinnamon  AA25 was specified for the bespoke pole designs to maintain their original beauty in the harsh coastal conditions as well as ease of maintenance including paint graffiti removal.

The Bespoke design, including elegant tapered masts support lighting, CCTV, banners and other technology like weather sensors enhancing the safety and comfort of the community enjoying the new foreshore area.
