The iconic Australind Jetty was officially reopened on Tuesday, 19 December 2023!
Extensive renovations on the Jetty began in February this year after the Cook Government invested $3 million to make the jetty safe and accessible once more.
Completed works include:
- 52 tonnes of original timber distributed to local schools and community groups for recycling
- Full replacement of two footbridges
- Refurbishment of 32 timber piles by encasing them in concrete
- Replenishment of rock armouring along the embankment
- Construction of a new inclusion and disability access ramp.
Minister for Water, Simone McGurk MLA presided over the official reopening ceremony, joined by Member for Collie-Preston Jodie Hanns MLA, Member for Murray-Wellington Robyn Clarke MLA and Shire President Michelle Campbell.
We thank the community for their patience throughout this process.
