Australind Jetty Reopens

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.
