Daranda Terrace Boardwalk, Milang
Soil testing investigations will take place around the Daranda Terrace Boardwalk on 16 September 2026 to support the design of a replacement boardwalk.
The existing timber boardwalk is nearing the end of its service life and is proposed to be replaced as part of a project currently planned for delivery in 2027–28.
Testing works are expected to cause minimal disruption. Further updates, including concept designs, will be shared with the community as the project progresses.
Milang Jetty
However, the end of the main Milang jetty was closed in late January due to damage from a berthing vessel. This has delayed the project and is likely to incur extra costs. The incident impacted the structural integrity of this part of the jetty and will require further engineering assessment, including an inspection by certified divers.
Council is reviewing the project to determine whether works on the other jetties can commence in the interim.
Milang Chapel, Stirling Street
Work has started on repairs, remediations and restoration to the historic Milang Chapel in Milang.
This church is one of the oldest European structures in Milang. It is listed as a Local Heritage Place and is currently used by the Milang & Districts Historical Society.
The chapel was built in 1866 and previously served as the Council Chambers for the District Council of Bremer, an RSL Hall and a local Scout Hall.
The work on this Council-owned building was funded in the 2025/26 Annual Community Plan. The project encompasses extensive structural and masonry repairs, underpinning, roofing and stormwater repairs, painting and perimeter paving.
All work is expected to be complete by the end of May 2026.

Milang Soldiers Memorial Gardens - Rosemary Hedge Replacement
Council has undertaken works to manage the future care of the rosemary hedge surrounding the Soldiers Memorial at the Milang Soldiers Memorial Gardens.
Following consultation with key stakeholders involved with the Memorial Gardens, Council has removed two sections of the hedge that had reached their end of life and were showing signs of decline. Council has also removed rose bushes that had reached their end of life. The removed sections of the rosemary hedge and the removed rose bushes have been replaced.
Council looks forward to working with the community to ensure the Soldiers Memorial Gardens remain a meaningful and respectful space for Veterans, families, and the wider Milang community.
