Wilsons Beach Swimming Enclosure Repairs Underway

The Council has announced that repair works on the Wilsons Beach Swimming Enclosure will commence on 23rd September, with completion estimated for late November 2024.
The repair work at Wilson Beach has been guided by feedback from concerned community members about the area’s future, following the damage caused by Cyclone Debbie in March 2017, which left the enclosure damaged and non-functional.
The repair works, therefore, will enhance safety and once again provide a fantastic swimming spot for the Conway and Wilsons Beach communities.
Mayor Ry Collins and Councillor John Collins expressed their enthusiasm for the project:
“We are excited to announce the commencement of the repair works on the Wilson Beach swimming enclosure,” Mayor Ry Collins said.
Councillor John Collins shared his excitement as well:
“To say I’m excited is an understatement—this is up there with the Proserpine Water Park,” Councillor John Collins added. “It’s truly sensational.”
Mobilisation works will commence from Monday 16th September with a small compound set-up in the boat ramp carpark and a safety barrier (flagging) will be set up around the site and construction will commence shortly after this.
