Streaky Bay Jetty Remediation Works
We are upgrading the Streaky Bay Jetty to improve the jetty's structural integrity and lifespan.
These works are being undertaken as part of the SA Jetties Renewal Program that is in place to assist local councils to address critical works across the State's jetties.
Latest News
We appreciate the importance of the Streaky Bay Jetty to the local community and have worked with the District Council of Streaky Bay to ensure the jetty is accessible while works are paused for the holiday break.
From Monday 23rd December 2024 to Tuesday 7th January 2025 the Streaky Bay Jetty will reopen. During this time the jetty and the shark proof swimming enclosure will be open to the public. Vessel access will still be restricted, and berthing and mooring will not be possible during this time.
The jetty will temporarily close to all users from Wednesday 8th January until all works are complete in mid-2025.
Project Background
The Streaky Bay Jetty, a 340-meter-long iconic town jetty, is a key tourist attraction in South Australia. The jetty pool, a shark-proof swimming enclosure active since 1936, along with the vessel berthing and mooring facilities, make Streaky Bay Jetty highly valuable to the local community, as well as commercial and recreational fishers.
The works aim to extend the jetty’s lifespan, improve safety for all users and enhance the overall jetty user experience. The works will include:
- Replacing structural timber piles with steel piles.
- Replacing decayed timber structures.
- Upgrading berthing and mooring structures with additional piles and rubber fenders at the sea end of the Jetty.
- Installing new safety ladders for easier onboarding and offloading to and from berthed vessels.
- New resting benches adjacent the jetty shelter.
- Extending handrails where needed.
The new berthing and mooring structures will accommodate vessels up to 70 tonnes (currently unrated). This will ensure Streaky Bay Jetty meets Marine Facilities Standards.
