The Red Bluff Boardwalk from Eleebana to Warners Bay has copped significant damage after a houseboat last week crashed into the structure from high winds.
Council says it will remain closed for some time while crews look to determine how to fix the elevated path. It was constructed in 2010 at a cost of $2.5 million.
Council’s Karen Pardington says there’s no timeline on when it will re-open.
“We’re certainly very keen to get out there and assess the damage and hopefully be able to repair it soon.
“It may be some time before we’re able to open it up but we’ll be getting onto it,” she said.
