The Shire of Gingin has awarded the tender to construct and repair a large section of boardwalk on the Jim Gordon VC Trail in the centre of
Gingin which was destroyed by fire in January 2014.
The preferred contractor will construct 138 metres of the timber boardwalk that requires replacing and/or repairing. The replacement and repair
works will commence as soon as site conditions are favourable. It is anticipated that the works will be completed November/December 2014.
An insurance claim has contributed to the costs of the associated works amounting to $107,503.
Works will be carried out in consultation with the Department of Parks and Wildlife and the Department of Water.
The trail, originally constructed in honour of the late Jim Gordon VC in the 1980s, provides an attractive thoroughfare for visitors wishing to
explore the natural environment of Gingin Brook. The burnt vegetation along the Jim Gordon VC Trail is recovering extremely well and is returning
to its former glory.
