The controversial refurbishment\u00a0of a wharf in Saint Andrews will not go ahead as planned, after council voted to cancel the tender for the project.<\/p>\n

The decision came after all bids on the\u00a0project\u00a0were millions of dollars over the town’s budget.<\/p>\n

“Due to all of the associated costs and construction costs, it brought it up way over budget from what we could approve,” said Kate Akagi, the acting Saint Andrews mayor.<\/p>\n

“We could do it, but that leaves our town strapped and we didn’t want to do that.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The project would have seen Market Wharf, which is long overdue for repairs, infilled with rock and steel.<\/p>\n
