Anderson Road boat facility: history
1 min read

The final designs for the Anderson boat ramp and jetty follows more than a decade of problems at the area:

Anderson Road jetty construction, 2015

Cost: $577,000
A new 60 metre jetty opened in 2015 because the previous jetty wasn’t suitable for all boat users.
But boaties have ever since been unhappy with the half a million-dollar jetty, reporting a variety of problems with the design: difficult to launch at low tide, sand collects on the jetty and the pontoon is inadequate in certain tides. On high tide users are forced to beach the boat in order to use the pontoon.

Upgrade of the Anderson Road boat ramp, 2011

Cost: $548,385
The design for the new ramp was strongly opposed by local users, during the consultative phase for the project back in 2011.
