Melbourne's St Kilda Pier attracts over 350,000 visits since opening

The $53 million redevelopment of Melbourne's St Kilda Pier by the Victorian Government has proven successful having attracted more than 350,000 visits since the St Kilda Pier redevelopment opened in December 2024.

The new 450-metre-long St Kilda pier offers a safer and more accessible space for families and tourists.

Ports and piers contribute more than $900 million a year to local economies through tourism, marine activities and critical industries such as fishing – supporting local jobs and families.

As thousands continue to flock to St Kilda Pier, contractors have been appointed to get works underway later this year on Hampton Pier.

The Hampton Pier was funded as part of an $18 million investment delivered in the Victorian Budget 2022/23 and works are expected to be completed later this year.

Contractors will start on site preparations soon to get ready for works to start in autumn.

To ensure community safety there will be no access to marked areas during the demolition phases will be in place for the entirety of the works.
