Queenscliff Creek Edge Protection Works

Works have now resumed on site by Elstone Diving Services, with site preparation underway and construction of the rock revetment wall commencing this week using specialised equipment with GPS capability to pinpoint the exact location for rock placement.
 
There will be limited use of the barge on the creek during the remainder of the works, as most of the work will be done from land. However, please be aware that the barge is still working in the location as required.
 
Completion of works is expected in May 2026, subject to weather and site conditions. 

We thank you for your understanding and patience during these essential preparation works and throughout the construction period. These works are necessary to ensure long-term stability and protection of the creek edge for the safety of the community and waterway users.
 
Parks Victoria will continue to provide updates as this project makes progress.
