Western Australia’s iconic
Busselton Jetty has been admitted
to the State Register of Heritage
Places after a $27m restoration
funded by State and Local Govt.
The former working port has
been slated for demolition on two
occasions since its closure from
service in 1972, with community
resistance saving it both times.
Busselton receives more than
400,000 visitors annually, drawn
by the history of the 1.82km jetty
– one of the longest in the world.
The Busselton community is
very proud of its jetty,” said WA
Heritage Minister Albert Jacob.
“It is a major tourism drawcard
and the restoration ensures it
will continue to deliver positive
outcomes for the region”.
