Busselton Jetty opening delayed
Submitted by Dale on Wed, 2010-11-17 11:18
Who knows when the jetty work will be finished. Work on the jetty was suspended last Friday and it's not known when it will resume after Marine and Civil went into voluntary administration and owe local businesses in excess of $250000. The shire are pushing for 5th Feb 2011 completion to coincide with the Jetty Fiesta, what ever that's gonna be.
Watch this space.
Cheers
Dale

it's been delayed for over a year now when it comes to the projected completion of the deadline. i was planning a trip down in a couple of weeks after my exams for an overnighter. now it's all gone to the drain

This bloody jetty
has had more opening dates than John Farnham has had final tours - the contractor is in strife and as for the Shire - what a bunch of bumbling muppets!

Another change in date?!
At least they have someone to blame now as opposed to the so called "inclement weather" they've blamed delays on previously.
Bit of a shame for Marine & Civil though.

That'll never
happen Shorty. What they want is to ban fishing from the last 200m just so the divers don't have to worry about discarded fishing equipment, blah blah blah.

yeah
that was y the observitory exclusion zone was implemented to stop the fishing line etc damaging the prescious coral growth then they just cut the pylons off at seabed level and removed them / replaced them (to my knoledge)wot a beauracratical crock of shit and wot a fuggin saga this has turned out to b just open the fuggin thing its better now than ever before i been fishing off it and thats a long time bad news for marine and civil and all the local contractors owed money i think the govnment should step in and help the little guy out

not good news at all. there
not good news at all. there has been so many dramas with that jetty. gotta feel for the local blokes that are owed so much money, as a small business owner myself the money is always tight and im sure some of them would be doing it tough. in reality the jetty should have been finished long ago.

It's a lot bigger
than Busso Jetty. M&C had a hell of a lot of infrastructure invested in Gorgon work on Barrow. Most of their work on that has finished, but there are an awwwwfullll lot of people still waiting to be paid on that project too.
Not good at all. Especially for the small guys (and gals)
