Burnie's waterfront will boast a new boardwalk this year with construction currently underway. Sections of the boardwalk will be closed throughout the 6-month construction phase, from Monday, 4 January 2010.

Burnie Mayor Alvwyn Boyd said a temporary boardwalk would cater for pedestrians and Burnie City Council would erect signage on-site to keep the public informed.
