Anzac Park memorial jetty set to reopen in June

Published on 27 May 2026

The much-loved Anzac Park memorial jetty in Nambucca Heads is set to reopen in June, with construction of its new fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) support structure currently underway and its modern deck is being assembled soon.

Nambucca Valley Council General Manager Bede Spannagle said the structures team had prioritised its repair because of the jetty’s close connection to the Nambucca Heads community.

“The jetty was built in 2017 as part of the Centenary of Anzac commemorations, continuing the small park’s long-standing history of honouring those service men and women who had served in World War I,” he said.

“Council’s structures team have so far installed fibreglass girders, the first step in replacing the support structure for the jetty.

“Next week, weather depending, they will place the deck brackets and then start to install the FRP enviromesh engineered decking. The following week, late May or early June, they will install the jetty’s handrail.

“I hope to see the new jetty being used by residents and fishermen sometime in June.”

The new Anzac Park jetty has been built using durable, fibre-reinforced polymer materials, so it will better withstand the park’s coastal location. It’s fibre-reinforced polymer enviromesh deck is the same material as the refurbished pedestrian pathways following the banks of the Nambucca River from The Boatshed down to the V-wall. This material has performed well in marine environments and it is UV resistant.

Anzac Park was established by Nambucca Heads Lions Club as a memorial place in 2001. In 2017, the Nambucca Heads RSL Club constructed the first memorial jetty, from a $7000 donation and $2000 from Council. The project was part of the Centenary of Anzac commemorations and its special sign still sits alongside the jetty.
