During the 2011 winter, king tides with rough seas struck the coast line for several months, which caused severe structural damage to the jetty.

Council engaged a structural engineer to assess the damage to the jetty, with the recommendation that the jetty should be repaired.

Six steel piles were driven in behind the existing timber piles where the damage occurred.

The new steel piles were painted to blend in with the environment.

Council engaged a marine contractor to carry out the necessary repairs, which began on December 5.

"These repairs will ensure that the iconic Horseshoe Bay jetty remains open to the public for recreation purposes well into the future," mayor Kym McHugh said.

The state heritage-listed jetty was constructed in the mid-1800s for the purpose of loading and unloading cargo from sailing ships moored at Horseshoe Bay.

With the decline of transporting freight by sea, the jetty became redundant as a transport hub.

However, it is now popular as a tourist attraction.
