Victorians have a strong connection with the coast, and piers and jetties provide important access to enjoy our coastal environments and to be active and healthy. They’re also popular seaside destinations for visitors and tourists.
Parks Victoria is the Local Port Manager for Port Phillip Bay, Western Port and Port Campbell and manages 42 piers and jetties, most of which are in Port Phillip and Western Port.
Most piers in Port Phillip have been rebuilt and repaired many times since they were first built with piers tending to have a 50-year design life. Working with the Department of Transport and Planning, Parks Victoria has an ongoing role in planning, designing and prioritising pier maintenance and redevelopment projects.
This year, thanks to significant investment from the Victorian Government we’re working on a significant number of pier projects. In addition to St Kilda Pier, this includes:
• Altona Pier
• Flinders Pier
• Hampton Pier
• Mornington Fishermans Jetty
• Rye Pier
• St Leonards Pier
• Warneet Jetties
• Workshops Pier
