Statement of Significance
Canal Rock and Footbridge has cultural heritage significance as an important visual landmark that contributes to the community’s sense of place. Its association with tourism as a developing industry in the district and the rarity of such a structure in the south-west of WA add to its significance.
Physical Description
The footbridge sits amongst some rocky outcrop near the Geographe Bay. The meandering structure allows visitors to venture further to capture the magnificent views of the ocean and shore alike.
History
In June 1997, the footbridge was closed as CALM identified it unsafe for public use. A new $100,000 footbridge was constructed and opened in 1999 to enable fishing enthusiasts, visitors and locals alike to continue using the area along the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park coastline.
