Southport jetty repairs underway
Bob Lister also said "Southport is becoming an increasingly important region for the provisioning and servicing of commercial fishing vessels and for unloading of abalone, rock lobster and scalefish. It is a vital facility in the area which needs to be retained and property maintained".
"After many months of lobbying and negotiations by Tasmania's peak fishing industry body the allocation of $130,000 and a commitment to complete the pile replacement work and decking repairs by the end of September is warmly welcomed by Tasmania's commercial fishing industry".
