Work starts this month to double the boat launching capacity at Two Rocks Marina.

 Transport Minister Dean Nalder said the $681,042 contract had been awarded to Engineered Water Systems for the second stage of improvements at Two Rocks Marina.

 This brings to $1.2 million, the value of improvements at the facility this year to improve safety and ease delays for skippers launching vessels at the increasingly popular marina.

 In July, the State Government completed the first stage of works. The $525,014 investment provided extra car parking and trailer bays, up from 38 to 99, plus a new overflow parking area and new traffic management measures to ease congestion at peak times.

 Stage two, partly funded by the Recreational Boating Facilities Scheme (RBFS) will see the installation of a 50-metre floating jetty. The boat ramp will also be widened to provide two distinct lanes.

 Work will be undertaken to refurbish the jetty, realign the revetment wall, provide an access path, solar lighting and new signage. These works will be completed by early next year.

 Every effort will be made to maintain access to a single launch ramp during construction. However, the ramp may be closed for a short period in February 2016 to allow for drainage works at the top of the ramp.

 Users will be advised in advance of the closure and can stay up-to-date with progress of the works by visiting http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/two-rocks-project
