Causeway Timbers

Published on Jan 06, 2022

Existing Causeway Timbers

Following the decommissioning of the existing Causeway, all timbers removed from the structure will be stored off site and will be inspected to determine the presence of any pests (termite/borer) and contamination (tar coatings, other) to decide whether the timber is suitable for re-use.

Timber will be sorted and where reusable will be prioritised for re-use as follows:

• Reuse in the project (viewing platforms, seating, signage, art)
• Stored for re-use on DIT marine jetty structures
• Allocated to council (for re-use on local community projects)
• Made available to interested parties. (registered interested parties)

It is anticipated that a substantial amount of timber will be unsuitable for re-purposing and will be disposed of.

Until the timber structure is decommissioned DIT will not be able to determine the quantities of timber that may be available to interested parties.

In the interim we will add your details to our register of interested parties and will advise you once more information on the condition of the timbers is known. Please note the decommissioning of the old Causeway is expected to be completed in the second half of 2022.
