Queenscliff Pier (Local Port of Port Phillip, Queenscliff Harbour Precinct Reserve)

Queenscliff Pier and lifeboat shed were an integral part of the infrastructure provided to improve the safety for ships entering or leaving Port Phillip. Many lives were saved through the efforts of the crews that manned the lifeboat, which is now located in the nearby Queenscliff Maritime Museum.

Visitors can take a relaxing stroll or try their luck fishing from the end of the pier. Picnic, BBQ facilities and public toilets are located nearby along the foreshore.

Short term berthing is available but should only be undertaken in calm conditions.

Jumping and diving off the pier and other structures is prohibited for public safety. There are shallow areas and often unexpected submerged objects

Ensure dogs are kept on lead at all times and clean up after your dog.

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.
