Marine Rescue Mandurah volunteers are heading into the busy summer boating season with a major upgrade to their operations with the installation of a new purpose-built floating jetty.
Backed by a $180,000 investment from the State Government, the new structure is designed to speed up emergency response times by giving rescue crews safer, faster and more reliable access to their vessels.
The jetty extension means volunteers can now launch and retrieve their fast-response boat more efficiently.
Its wider layout also allows other emergency services to safely come alongside when needed, improving coordination during multi-agency operations.
Locally built by Mandurah Jetty Construction, the project took just three-and-a-half weeks to complete, including the removal of the ageing narrow jetty that was no longer suitable for today’s larger rescue vessels.
The upgrade comes as Marine Rescue Mandurah prepares to welcome a new rescue vessel, expected to arrive in early January.
