The remaining piles from the old wooden jetty at Tanners Point were removed Tuesday morning by Bay Marine Works.

Brian and Sharon Coxhead, in the area to inspect boat moorings, extracted the concrete and railway-iron piles, which were all that was left of the jetty, after it was demolished a few months back.

Brian manoeuvred their barge called Quest into position alongside the adjacent modern floating pontoon jetty and used the barge's hiab to extract the piles one by one.

Brian and Sharon say they will return when tides are more favourable to take away concrete left in the water when the previous contractor attempted to extract the piles.

The couple were pleased to be able to assist in tidying up the site and use their expertise and machinery to remove the piles before summer when the area is even more popular with boaties and families.

The task was all in a day's work for Bay Marine Works which specialises in mooring inspections, oil spill response, marine salvage and towing, marine construction including piling and wharf construction, commercial diving and harbour maintenance.

The old wooden jetty was demolished when it was considered unsafe and much of the planking will be used for boardwalks around the Tanners Point foreshore.

The floating pontoon jetty is a popular fishing spot and also used by boaties wanting to refuel larger vessels or drop off or pick up passengers after launching at the nearby boat ramp.
