The Government Jetty was built for the landing of the construction materials for the Lower Kalgan Bridge. According to local people there used to be a small rail track on the jetty for a trolley for transferring materials from the barges to land. The jetty was also used for landing materials needed for the construction of the Two Peoples Bay to Albany water supply line which was opened in 1914. It was also used for recreational and tourism purposes. This record was retired as it is a duplicate of P15636 Kalgan River Jetty.
