Hamelin Bay ruins could be removed: DPaW

Remnants of the Hamelin Bay jetty have been deemed unsafe.

The Department of Parks and Wildlife has installed a fence around the Hamelin Bay jetty ruins due to structural issues.

Officer Ben Tannock said options to conserve the site were being canvassed, including dismantling the jetty and using the timber to create an interpretative seat and table for the Hamelin Bay precinct.

Visitors to the area will be surveyed about the jetty ruins during coming weeks with results and advice from the WA Heritage Council to be considered by the department.
