The Ayton Boat Ramp sits on the Bloomfield River in far north Queensland, providing locals and visitors with a concrete all-tide launch facility for boating, fishing, and exploring the rainforest coastline.

The ramp is a practical access point to the river's scenic waterways and is regularly used as a staging point for reaching the Great Barrier Reef region.

The ramp and an associated pontoon were significantly damaged during flooding linked to Tropical Cyclone Jasper in 2023, which also caused heavy erosion of the riverbank.

Maritime Safety Queensland subsequently undertook reinstatement works, with the new infrastructure designed to better withstand future weather events.

The project required consultation under the Native Title Act given its location within the Cape York United Native Title Claim area.
