Ports Victoria have notified us that maintenance works and upgrades have commenced on Station Pier. The work includes work on the Gatehouse – refurbishing the exterior, including painting the building. The flags have been taken down to allow the workers better access to the roof and they will be put back up once the work is completed. Our other planned works include:
- the ongoing, annual pile rehabilitation program, including West Finger Pier; and
- painting, corrosion protection, electrical and other works on elements of the pier structure and buildings.
The pile works are expected to start in May and will be conducted between 7 am and 5 pm Monday to Friday. There may be some work on a Saturday. Completion is due in October, ahead of the next cruise shipping season.
