Community Update – Rapid Bay Jetties
Council has received the following update from the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) regarding works at Rapid Bay.
New Rapid Bay Jetty
DIT will be undertaking maintenance works on the new Rapid Bay Jetty to improve its structural integrity and lifespan.
Works are scheduled to begin 1 July 2025 and continue through to mid-September 2025, weather permitting.
The jetty will remain open and accessible as much as safely possible; however, some intermittent daytime closures will be required. These will be communicated via onsite signage at least 48 hours in advance.
Full access will be maintained on weekends and during events.
Old Rapid Bay Jetty
Following an inspection after the 26 May storm, further safety risks have been identified at the Old Rapid Bay Jetty.
Diving, swimming and boating are now prohibited around the entire structure.
The exclusion zone has been expanded to cover beneath the jetty and 20 metres on either side and at both ends.
DIT will install additional signage and buoys to clearly mark this area.
