The Busselton Jetty Village & Marine Discovery Centre

The Busselton Jetty Village and Marine Discovery Centre, 'The Village,' will be ready in July 2023!

Phase 1 will be built 1.7 km out to sea at the end of the iconic Busselton Jetty. The Village will transform the visitor experience,offering something for everyone, including customers visiting the longesttimber-piled Jetty in the southern hemisphere, respite areas for our over 100 volunteers, locally sourced, world-class food and beverages to quench your hunger and thirst after the long journey out, as well as a marine discovery centre where you’ll be educated on the wonders of the sea below the Jetty and beyond.

If you’re a diver or snorkeler, there will also be a new underwater artificial reef trail that will include unique sculptures andstatues, allowing you to see the Jetty from a totally different perspective!

The project has $22m of grant funding from:

- Australian Government – Regional Growth Fund, Building Better Regions Fund & Parks Australia

- The State of Western Australia, particularly the Department of Primary Industry and - Regional Development; and

- Lotterywest

A project like this doesn’t happen without a lot of hardwork. Thank you to the BJI Board of Management, BJI staff, Volunteers, and Project Superintendent for their tireless efforts.
