Governors Bay Jetty Restoration Update

In 2015, shortly after Governors Bay Jetty Restoration Trust was formed, a storm knocked over several piles on the jetty.

For a while, the deck held up without piles, but slowly this section of the deck (about 100m from land) sagged. Eventually, it collapsed completely, creating a distinctive wonky bit in the jetty. At the end of January 2023, the wonky bit was patched up by the builders, allowing them access to the rest of the old jetty during the rebuild.

During the project, the old jetty (including the patched-up wonky bit) will be removed and sold by the jetty Trust to raise money to pay for the rebuild.

The photos show the barge approaching the wonky bit, the workers preparing to fix the wonky bit.
