read moreCairns Regional Council has awarded a five-year contract to Cairns-based Uninet Enclosure Systems to provide stinger nets at local beaches.
Uninet, a financially independent company, was established over 30 years ago to supply and service marine stinger resistant enclosures on North Queensland beaches.
Uninet’s enclosure systems come in different sizes and equipment configurations depending on the beach profile, tidal range and weather conditions. A complete service, including site investigation, installation, training and service, is supplied.
Recently, five enclosures have been installed in the sheltered waterways of the Gold Coast for shark protection. Interest has also been shown from resorts in South East Asia and the Middle East.
Uninet Enclosure Systems was set up 20 years ago by James Cook University in Cairns to supply and service these and new enclosures on North Queensland beaches.
Cairns Regional Council is also continuing its long-standing relationship with Surf Lifesaving Queensland (SLSQ) through a new five-year contract.
SLSQ has provided lifeguard services to Cairns for the past 32 years and is an active member of the community, including participation in non-traditional lifesaving activities such as crocodile management and marine stinger research.
The new contract covers lifesaving services at Cairns beaches, Esplanade Lagoon and Green Island.
