Blackwattle Bay's collapsing coal loader

The derelict coal loader opposite Wentworth Park looks to be close to collapsing into Blackwattle Bay. The foreshore strip opposite Wentworth Park is earmarked for development under a master plan which we understand has been approved by the Planning Minister, Frank Sartor.  The photos below indicate that some of the piers have corroded and can no longer support the structure/

PPI is seeking information on the status of planned development and will update this story on receipt of this information.
