Works Begin To Rebuild Warneet North And South Jetties
The Allan Labor Government is rebuilding Warneet North and South jetties to provide locals and visitors with improved fishing and boating facilities on Western Port.
Works have started to deliver these brand new jetties that will offer safer access to the water when the project is completed in late-2025.
The new Warneet South Jetty will be built from durable steel piles with a 2.6-metre-wide timber deck, and include modern handrails and lighting along the walkway to enhance pedestrian and boating safety while minimising the impact to aquatic life.
The new Warneet North Jetty will be constructed from durable steel piles and a 1.8-metre-wide fibreglass reinforced plastic deck for durability and feature a new low-level landing with steps to improve access to the water.
The new Warneet jetties are part of the Labor Government’s $46 million investment to deliver critical rebuilds and repairs to local port infrastructure across the state.
This is in addition to the Better Boating Fund, which ensures funds from licence fees and recreational vessel registrations is reinvested into boating facilities and safety.
