St Leonards Pier (St Leonards Jetty and Breakwater, Local Port of Port Phillip)
No access beneath St Leonards Pier - danger from concrete deterioration
In the interest of public safety Parks Victoria recommends that divers, snorkelers and swimmers do not go beneath the concrete pier and its piles. This is due to observed deterioration of concrete on the underside of the deck of St Leonards Pier. This deterioration can result in possible concrete spalling and falling into the water.
Signage is be displayed on site to notify members of the public of this hazard. Parks Victoria will continue to monitor the condition of the pier and advise stakeholders of any further change in condition.
