Storm forces temporary closure of Breakwater
The Warrnambool Breakwater and boat ramp have been temporarily closed to the public after the historic structure was damaged during rough weather over the weekend.
Hand rails, kick rails, concrete capping and sections of the Breakwater wall were damaged by pounding waves, wind and rain.
All staircases to the top walkway are closed off with some sections of the stainless steel kick rail hanging loose.
“Once the weather is more favourable, Council staff will make a more detailed assessment of the damage before we develop a program of repairs,” Council’s Director City Infrastructure David Leahy said.
