Busselton Jetty was first constructed in 1865 using timber and has numerous extensions up until the 1960’s – creating a remarkable 1.8 kilometre jetty.

BG&E was engaged to carry out the structural assessment and restoration design of the historic Busselton Jetty. This involved:

• Detailed inspection and structural assessment of the existing jetty
• Analysis and design of the skeleton jetty section
• Repair, reconstruction, and refurbishment of the deteriorated jetty sections

The jetty represents a significant asset to the local community. After officially closing as a Port in 1973, the jetty was left unmaintained. In 1987, the Busselton Jetty Environment and Conservation Association (BJECA) formed.

From 1987 to 2003, BJECA raised sufficient funds to replace 50% of the Jetty structure, establish the train service, and construct the iconic Underwater Observatory and Interpretive Centre – which was completed between 2003 and 2011.
