Jetty Replacement Concepts Released

Two replacement jetty concept designs were showcased by the Shire at the Esperance and Districts Agricultural Show over the weekend. A potential third design is a restoration option being developed.In 2011 Council committed to a replacement jetty, and continue to be committed to providing a jetty for the Esperance community.

The three designs to be considered include potential restoration - depending on a viable and sustainable option being supplied by the Jetty Group Inc, a traditional look jetty and a contemporary look jetty.

Factors Council will consider include the wants and needs of the wider community, immediate financial cost and ongoing financial implications to the Esperance ratepayer, potential benefits to the community and region and whole of life costs of a restored or new jetty.

The two replacement jetty concept designs and more information are available on the Shire website www.esperance.wa.gov.au and can be viewed at the Shire Administration building on Windich St.
