by the Australian Underwater Discovery Centre. The A$32 million facility, a semi-submerged four storey whale-shaped structure, will have a higher visitor capacity and contain larger viewing windows, a gallery, exhibition spaces and a marine research centre. To be constructed in Perth before being towed out to Busselton, the Australian Underwater Discovery Centre is expected to open in 2023. An accompanying "village" containing food and beverage outlets as well as spaces for weddings and corporate functions will also be built at the end of the jetty. Memorial plaques Along one side of a section of the jetty are a number of memorial plaques, commemorating people whose ashes have been scattered from the jetty. In February 2012 the Busselton Council limited the placement of such plaques to "exceptional circumstances", for people who had made significant contributions to or associated with the jetty. Former attractions In 1981, a waterslide opened adjacent to the landward end of the Busselton jetty. It was built wrapping around the existing lighthouse tower and was driven by pumped seawater. In 2011, the land which was occupied by the waterslide and associated amusement park attractions was re-purchased by the City of Busselton and the slide was shut down. The lighthouse was eventually demolished in 2015. See also Port Germein, South Australia jetty, opened in 1881, extended to 1680 meters in 1883, reduced to 1532 meters, following storm damage.
