Jetty upgrade at Pritchards Landing on the Glenelg River
Thanks to your fishing licence fees and the Glenelg Hopkins CMA, the upgrade to Pritchards Landing is now complete! The Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Authority received a Large Grant of $84,830 in the 2020-21 round to complete the project.
The new all-abilities jetty has retained its 'L' shape from before, but now extends 1.5 metres further into the Glenelg River for greater depth during low tide.
New floating pontoons enable boats to be tied up safely, making the boat ramp more efficient on busy days. There's also an aluminium walkway complete with handrails from the bank to ensure the jetty continues to function al all water levels.
Pritchards is a very popular site in the Lower Glenelg National Park, offering fishers the chance to tangle with bream, estuary perch and prized mulloway.
