At Monkey Mia beach front, located 900km north of Perth, Accoya decking was installed in late 2021. These photos were taken several months later, in August 2022, in front of the dolphin experience centre. The area is well known for its frequently visiting bottlenose dolphins, and the centre maintains a positive relationship between the dolphins and humans.

Accoya wood replaced wood-plastic composite (WPC) decking, also being used this time for street furniture along the boardwalk and steps to connect the different levels. The replacement material was required because visitors were unable to walk or sit on the WPC decking as it got far too hot. Accoya does not have this problem as even in the height of summer, the low thermal gain ensures Accoya decking is barefoot friendly.

Accoya approved distributor, M&B, supplied the decking boards for this project uncoated. The natural Accoya wood has already started weathering and the photograph below of the steps shows the colour difference in the first 10 months.
