Warneet South Jetty (Warneet South Jetty, The Waters of Western Port Bay)
Warneet South Jetty Closed
As part of a recent independent engineering assessment, Warneet South Jetty has been deemed unsafe for public use. Following this, for public safety, we are required to close the entire pier. We know how important the jetty is for the community, but we must put community safety first. We know locals love Warneet’s jetties and the opportunities they offer to enjoy time in the great outdoors. We’ll continue working with Better Boating Victoria on detailed designs for the future of the jetty as part of work on the Warneet Boating Precinct Plan. -

How we keep it special
More people are connecting with Victoria’s natural and cultural landscapes than ever before, which is why Parks Victoria supports healthy and resilient parks for current and future generations.
Parks Victoria is responding to climate change, extreme weather events, human impacts, previous land management practices, invasive species and the changing distribution of plants and animals that is challenging park management and conservation efforts.
