Fire At Campbells Wetlands Destroys Boardwalk
Tuesday, 03 Sep 2024
Griffith City Council remains committed to the restoration of Campbells Wetlands despite a recent fire that destroyed critical infrastructure. The fire, which started on Tuesday, 27 August 2024, has caused significant damage to the boardwalk and surrounding areas, forcing Council to reassess its current plans.Funded by a grant under the Crown Reserves Improvement Fund, Council had initially planned to replace the existing boardwalk using the current structure as a working platform, with construction scheduled to begin on 7 October 2024. However, due to the destruction of the existing infrastructure, these plans are now under review.
The contractor appointed by the Council to undertake the project assessed the site last weekend, and will provide a revised solution ensuring that the project remains on track despite the recent setback.
In addition to the fire damage, vandals have further compromised the site by kicking in some of the metal lining on the bird hide.
The boardwalk is now closed to the public due to safety concerns, and barricades will be in place to prevent access. Council urges residents and visitors to respect these closures for their safety.
Council remains fully committed to delivering the project within the allocated timeframe and budget, with the aim to complete all works by 30 April 2025 to meet the Crown Reserves funding milestones.
