The Andrews Labor Government is calling for tenders to deliver a major component of the $15 million Portarlington Safe Harbour development.
Member for Bellarine and Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water, Lisa Neville said the next stage of the development would include the construction of two rock breakwaters, a new finger jetty, pier improvements and a suite of marine industry access upgrades for the pier and harbour.
The project will also provide ferry infrastructure to support potential future services from Portarlington. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning has briefed local stakeholders, land managers and Portarlington and Geelong community leaders on the progress in delivering the project.
This project will support the Bellarine Peninsulas growing aquaculture industry and help to boost economic development in the region. The first stage of the project, which involved the construction of a new 175 metre section of Portarlington's pier, was completed earlier this year.
