Palm Beach Jetty
Submitted by tommytomato on Wed, 2009-02-04 07:58
The City of Rockingham is porposing to undertake reconstruction of the
Palm Beach jetty early in 2009.
The design for the new Jetty incorporates improved recreational fishing & swimming facilities including a universal access low level ramp.
Palm Beach Jetty Dimensions
Length - 125m
Jetty Approach Width - 3.3m
Jetty Head Width -6.5m
A component of the redevelopment is Council's recognition of the Z Force Memorial included in the Palm Beach Foreshore Landscaping

It will be good to see the jetty come back, all those guys who used to fish there were up in arms about it been pulled down, it was becoming un safe to even be on the old Jetty.Looks like we will have a nice new one is place very soon

The fishing has definately
The fishing has definately improved since the old jetties have been knocked down, it will be a stunning fishing and not to mention squidding spot this time next year. If i remember correctly it will be almost over weed and with a hell of a lot to the left of it.

Cool
Snapper will be a target with the extra jetty length
Fishing isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more serious than that!!!
FISH FOR THE FUTURE

Good to see someone looking after the recreational fishing
Wish they would build something like that in the northern suburbs.

Palm beach had been getting shallower and shallower since the the bridge went out, you could almost stand at the yatch club jetty and palm beach jetty and touch the top of the jetty (low tide )

I reckon a bridge to Rotto with fishing platforms along the edge
would be the go James.

Geez what a big waste of
Geez what a big waste of money!! First destroy the old one which was perfectly fine and they can improve on it. Then rebuilt a whole new one which is just a proposal for now. I probably wouldnt hold my breath for early 2009.

It could happen pretty quickly, what with Rudd handing money out for projects like this.
