Concrete Wharf to be demolished

The Minister had finally approved the destruction of the concrete wharf and the building of floating pontoons. After some intensive lobbing and failed behind the scenes negotiating the go-ahead has been received for the long awaited establishment of floating pontoons. 

The days of old fashioned concrete weed encrusted piles with pipes and wires hanging underneath along with cracked and rusted reo bars bursting out of the surface has finally come to an end. A new purpose built boat-friendly designed floating pontoon will be installed before the end of the year. This will reduce the boating pressure on moorings, give access to fishing and cruising vessels and provide a safe platform for young people to throw in a fishing line.

A boating representative is quoted as saying: “The move to a modern floating pontoons with water, electricity and suitable lights has finally arrived. Fuel will also be available for the local and visiting vessels. No longer will skippers have to fear being trapped under this structure as the tide rises and vessels will not be damaged by the old wooden piles and protruding steel and concrete. This is a clear step into the future to use the Boating Now licence funds in a constructive and advantages way.”

Access to boater, fishos and those less able to climb onto a boat will be enhanced with a modern, secure and safe floating pontoons built by the internationally acclaimed company Bellinghams. The local marina manager and licence holders have gone out of their way to accommodate the boats having to move from the existing wharf during construction in Bermagui harbour.

Lets see this further north along NSW.
