On Wednesday 19 March 2025, the Turner St Jetty was closed off to members of the public based on expert engineering advice to ensure public safety. Our community and visitors alike are understandably frustrated, surprised and saddened by the closure of this important and much-loved asset.


We know there are a lot of unanswered questions, many of which we will only be able to answer in the fullness of time (e.g. when will the jetty be reopened, what would this look like) and we are committed to keeping the community updated along the way.


To resolve the closure as soon as possible, the Shire made the Turner Street Jetty urgent business at the Wednesday 26 March 2025 Ordinary Council Meeting in Augusta. At the Ordinary Council Meeting held on Wednesday 26 March 2025 decided that Council:

1. Notes the intent to concurrently investigate two primary options for the future of the Turner Street Jetty, being renewal of failed components of the existing structure or alternatively, replacement of the existing structure.

2. Notes that in consultation with a dedicated community reference group, the two options of significant renewal or replacement will be explored with the community prior to procurement of the preferred option.

3. Endorses an amendment to the 2024-25 Annual Budget allowing for design and costing of options to renew or replace the Turner Street Jetty, with funding of up to $100,000 being made available for these works from the Asset Renewal Reserve.

We have over 20 registered volunteers in the Community Reference Group who summitted an Expression of Interest form below. Applications have now closed. The next meeting of the Community Working Group is scheduled for 5.30pn on Thursday, 29 May 2025. Additional meetings will be scheduled as the project progresses, with at least seven days' notice provided.
