Project goals
In keeping with the aesthetics, the new design features a timber landing and vessel fendering system using Green Heart wood; safety ladders for access from sea level to jetty deck; safety handrails and lifesaving rings with 200ft of lanyard; and illuminated solar powered light fixtures. The jetty spans approximately 70FT in length.
Overall, this comprehensive plan has also seen the rehabilitation of the beach facility and the Main Building by the Buildings Maintenance team, Roxborough District. At present, the rehabilitation of the iconic Gazebo perched at the crown of the Island and the installation of a rope rail along the trail are on the way. A new pagoda will also complement the space, but the work will not be complete without the rehabilitation of the Speyside Jetty, which is next in line.
These upgrades became necessary to provide easily accessible and safer access points to the island; and an enhanced leisure experience. For sure, the livelihoods of stakeholders and villagers will definitely be on the rebound.
