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.
