Council has delayed the opening of the new Emu Bay Boat Ramp until after the Christmas break, although the majority of boat users will still be able to access the existing right hand side (RHS) ramp, which has been accessible throughout the upgrade. To make the RHS even more operational for most boats, works are being undertaken on Wednesday 19 December to ensure good depth. Large boats may still be required to use alternative facilities. Council apologises for the delays however safety is our principal concern. The contractor will be back onsite on 7 January to continue the works.

Council’s 2018/19 Community Capital Infrastructure Grant Program (CCIGP) will invest up to $112,346 into five infrastructure projects spread across the Island.
