About the works

Council plans to go to tender in April 2025 to find a suitable contractor for the Comerong Ferry inspection and refurbishment work.

The refurbishment includes sandblasting, ultrasonic sheet testing, re-sheeting and repainting. The works are expected to take around 12 weeks with a further two weeks for compliance – the Certificate of Survey from Australian Maritime Safety Authority. The ferry should be back in service by the end of November.
