SAFETY FIRST: Fencing at the jetty carpark which is now closed to the public along with the southern breakwaters.
The City of Whyalla has issued a reminder to residents and visitors that the Whyalla jetty carpark and southern marina breakwater is closed to the public for the duration of the new jetty construction.
Fences have been erected to establish the on-land construction site for the new jetty (see map).
Full access will remain to the boat ramp and its adjacent carpark.
There will be no access to the southern carpark of the marina and the southern breakwater. Contractors will be using the carpark for machinery storage and construction.
CONSTRUCTION SITE: The carpark and breakwater areas that will be closed to the public during construction of the new jetty.
Full access will remain to the boat ramp and its adjacent carpark. Boaties, are however, asked to keep a safe distance from the breakwater and the jetty area at all times. There will be buoys put in place at sea to cordon off the construction area of the new jetty.
Boaties and pedestrians are asked to abide by all signage and directions from contractors for the safety of everyone concerned.
Council thanks the public in advance for their patience and understanding as this once-in-a-generation project gets underway. Residents and visitors will be kept informed on the construction process and estimated completion time as the project progresses.
Any enquiries on this project, or others, can be made by calling Council on 8640 3444 during office hours, by submitting a customer enquiry on our website http://www.whyalla.sa.gov.au/page.aspx or via the free My Local Services app which can be downloaded at https://www.lga.sa.gov.au/mylocalservices
