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

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

Project details
The existing seawalls located in the northwest corner of Queenscliff Creek are in poor condition and require stabilisation to ensure the ongoing safety of waterway users within the area.
 
The works will include removal of the two existing walls, one concrete and one timber, which will be replaced with a rock revetment to provide long-term stabilisation of the creek bank.
 
Construction access and impacts
Project construction materials and excavated materials will be transported by barge between the Queenscliff Harbour overflow carpark (near the Trawler berths) and the project site, Sand Island.
 
The contractor, Elstone Diving Services Pty Ltd, has advised that up to four barge crossings may occur each day during construction, with a maximum disruption of up to 15 minutes per crossing. Traffic control measures will be in place during these movements.

Sand Island will not display exclusion zone buoys, as these would create a hazard within the navigation swing basin. Instead, clear signage will be installed in prominent locations to provide information for the public and waterway users.
