      Our group is working on 3.2, and we have an idea of how to improve the road, but there have been concerns about the budget. Could we know the road surface area of Saibai island that needs improvement as well as the cost of transportation for materials like asphalt onto the island?

        Hi Truong,

        Sorry for not being able to get back to you sooner. Unfortunately, we don’t have the information regarding the extent of the road that needs improvement. However, we’ve received similar questions to yours which have been discussed extensively with other students in this 2-page thread.

        In our EWB Challenge FAQs, we have tips on tackling tricky topics such as the project budget and different scales at which projects might be implemented and managed, allowing for variables and thinking about a modular approach. Please make sure to check that page.

        Determining the type and source of the materials will be critical if you’re allocating transportation of materials for construction. I suggest you explore materials that are already existing on the island. Assuming you’re interested in transporting materials from Cairns, please check the existing discussion thread about Sea Swift’s services.

        I hope this helps!

        Regards,
        Jean
