  • William Ricketts Sanctuary

    William Ricketts Sanctuary - Temporary Closure

    William Ricketts Sanctuary was extensively damaged by a cyclogenesis storm event in June 2021. Many sculptures, buildings, pathways, and handrails were destroyed by numerous large fallen Mountain Ash trees.
     
    Our highest priority is public and staff safety, and this site remains too dangerous for the public to enter. Works are continuing to make the Sanctuary safe for Parks Victoria and its contractors to continue the recovery process.
     
    Recovery works are continuing at William Ricketts Sanctuary (following the storm), and they include the removal of large fallen and hazardous trees, perimeter fencing repairs, underground utility service reconnections and other important building, asset and facility works (including repairs to or removal of damaged buildings, retaining walls and associated infrastructure). Recovery works for William Ricketts Sanctuary are funded through insurance.
     
    Parks Victoria is continuing to make the site safe to re-open, but it is going to take longer than other sites due to the sheer scale of the damage and the artistic and cultural importance of the sculptures. At this stage, there is no specific date when the Sanctuary will re-open.
     
    We understand it’s disappointing that William Ricketts Sanctuary remains closed, and we are grateful to the local community, our stakeholders and visitors for their patience and continued priority to keep safe by staying outside of these closed areas.
     
    Please continue to refer to the Parks Victoria website for up-to-date information relating to closures and change of conditions.
     
    Whilst the Sanctuary remains closed, Parks Victoria recommends visitors explore other Dandenong Ranges Garden properties, including the nearby Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden, Pirianda Garden, Alfred Nicholas Memorial Garden or George Tindale Memorial Garden.  Further information for each garden can be found on this website.

    Workshops Pier Repairs are underway - marine exclusion zone in place

    • For public safety a legal marine exclusion zone is in place for the duration of the works. This zone extends 15 metres from each side of Workshops Pier and outward of the pier head. The project involves major construction and demolition and is unsafe for public access. Buoys will be in place on the water to mark the area with prohibited access.
