Busselton Jetty (19 September 2006)The Vision for the Busselton Jetty is Important to the Community It's time to bring the debate about Busselton jetty back to the big picture. Do we want to save the jetty, or not? Do we want to make the most of the wonderful opportunities it can provide to our community? Commitment needed for Jetty's future (27 July 2005)The Shire of Busselton is committed to finding a way to fund the estimated $16 million worth of refurbishment and repairs that are required to ensure the future of our iconic jetty. Shire President Kevin Douglas has stated that the jetty's future is dependent upon the commitment of all tiers of government working in a cooperative manner. Cr Douglas said, on this basis, the State Government has been made aware of the challenge and the Shire is shortly to have discussions with the local Federal Parliamentarian. "While the Minister for Tourism WA faces some difficulty in providing any assurance of financial assistance and is questioning an agreement made in 1988, the Shire, however, remains confident the State Government will work with us to find a resolution to these issues," he said. |
