Volunteer

Volunteering in parks is a great way to contribute to conserving Victoria’s special places. The many personal benefits of volunteering include learning more about plants and wildlife, gaining new skills, being in the outdoors, improving health and well being and meeting new friends. Time spent in nature also reduces stress and promotes physical wellbeing.

Change of Conditions

Nature being nature, sometimes conditions can change at short notice. It’s a good idea to check this page ahead of your visit for any updates.

  • Newhaven Jetty (Newhaven Jetty, The Waters of Western Port Bay)

    Newhaven Jetty closure

    Engineering assessments have revealed structural failures meaning it poses a significant hazard to visitors. Accordingly, the jetty has been closed to ensure public safety.


    We understand that Newhaven Jetty plays an important role in the local community for recreation, including fishing and walking. 

    The jetty will continue to be prioritised under the Sustainable Local Framework for future investment.

    Parks Victoria apologises for any inconvenience caused by the closure of the jetty.

    Nearby pier-based fishing access is available at San Remo Pier and Rhyll Jetty.

  • Corinella Jetty (The Waters of Western Port Bay, Corinella Pier)

    Corinella Jetty head partial closure

    Parks Victoria recently completed a conditions inspection of the Corinella Jetty. 
    A number of deteriorated beams have been identified on the timber head. To ensure public safety a small section of the timber deck will be isolated from pedestrian access. Access to the fishing platform will be maintained.
    The closure will remain in place while Parks Victoria reviews repair options.

  • Rhyll Jetty (The Waters of Western Port Bay, Rhyll Jetty)

    Rhyll Jetty - Fixed Lower Low Landing - closed

    The Rhyll Jetty fixed lower low landing is closed. Access to the mid level landing and floating pontoon continue to remain accessible for vessel berthing. 

  • Flinders Jetty (Flinders Jetty, The Waters of Western Port Bay)

    Temporarily closer to berthing - timber northern inner landing

    Following an inspection of Flinders Pier, three piles on the timber northern inner landing were identified as being in very poor condition, having further deteriorated since the last inspection.
     
    As such Parks Victoria has temporarily closed the timber northern inner landing of Flinders Pier for berthing.
     
    Pedestrian and fishing access will be maintained on the timber northern inner landing, and berthing is still available at the northern concrete landing and the timber southern lower landing.
     
    We are monitoring the pier for any further deterioration so we can continue to keep visitors safe.
     
    Apologies for any inconvenience during this time. We look forward to restoring berthing access and welcoming you back.
