New jetty nearly finished

CONSTRUCTION of a new jetty is nearing completion on the northern bank of the River Derwent at New Norfolk.

The jetty is a Federally-funded job-creation scheme under the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program.

The $64,000 facility is intended to improve tourist access to the river. It was described as a "ready to go" project when the funding was announced in February 2010.
