Kingscote Jetty Upgrade

About the project

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport (the Department) has completed upgrades and refurbishments to the Kingscote main jetty and nearby Fisherman’s Wharf and Screw Pile jetties at Kingscote.

This project formed part of the South Australian Government’s commitment to upgrade jetties, boat ramps and boating facilities across the State.

These essential works will ensure the long-term structural integrity of the jetties and deliver a safe and reliable amenity for the local community.

The scope of the project includes:

  • re-decking on the Kingscote main jetty;
  • repair and replacement of structural components including new piling and cross bracing on the main jetty, Fisherman’s Wharf and Screw Pile jetties;
  • removal of infrastructure that is no longer required, including the steel wharf and slipway north of the main jetty; and
  • removal of the redundant ‘Ro-Ro’ ramp at the end of the main jetty.

Works to upgrade and refurbish the Kingscote Main Jetty and the nearby Fisherman’s Wharf and Screw Pile jetties, on Kangaroo Island, were completed in early April and all the jetties are back open to the public.

These essential works have ensured the long-term structural integrity of the jetties and delivered a safe and reliable facility for the local community.

The completion of this much-needed upgrade has extended the jetty’s design life by a further 30 years, meaning locals and tourists will be able to continue enjoying the asset for fishing and other recreational activities for decades to come.
