No access beneath St Leonards Pier - danger from concrete deterioration
In the interest of public safety Parks Victoria recommends that divers, snorkelers and swimmers do not go beneath the concrete pier and its piles. This is due to observed deterioration of concrete on the underside of the deck of St Leonards Pier. This deterioration can result in possible concrete spalling and falling into the water.
