Construction Delays at Pennington Bay
The Kangaroo Island Council acknowledges the ongoing construction delays at Pennington Bay and wishes to provide an update to the community.
Due to unforeseen construction issues, the project at Pennington Bay has been temporarily halted. The Council is actively addressing these challenges to ensure a successful outcome.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Daryl Buckingham, said, “We understand the frustration that these delays are causing and are fully committed to resolving the issues as quickly as possible. Our team is working diligently to pinpoint the root causes and implement effective solutions. The success of this project is of utmost importance to us.”
As we approach the warmer months, we are cognizant of the expected increase in visitor numbers to this highly popular site. Safety and long-term sustainability are our top priorities.
Mayor, Michael Pengilly, commented, “We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding during this period. We are collaborating closely with adjoining property owners to establish an alternative pathway, ensuring that visitors can access the site safely while we work on the final product. Our goal is to deliver a high-quality and sustainable solution for everyone to enjoy.”
The Kangaroo Island Council sincerely apologises for any inconvenience caused by the delays. We share your frustration and remain committed to delivering a high-quality solution.
Moving Forward, we recognise the need for transparency and accountability. As we address these challenges, we acknowledge that mistakes have been made and are actively rectifying these. We are committed to learning from this experience and ensuring a positive outcome for all.
