Shed nine removed as Central Pier progresses

Works to remove Central Pier from Victoria Harbour are progressing well, with the removal of Shed 9 now complete.

The removal of the concrete area on the west and south of Shed 14 continues, as does works to realign services along Harbour Esplanade.

Specialist marine contractor, Fitzgerald Constructions Australia Pty Ltd has also started stabilising the sea wall and removing the concrete deck connecting the piers to Harbour Esplanade.

As we continue the removal of Central Pier, where practicable, we will also be aiming to repurpose maritime heritage materials salvaged during the removal works, such as signage, bollards and shed numbers.

The removal of Central Pier from Victoria Harbour is a key step in the Victorian Government’s plans to revitalise this waterfront in the heart of Docklands.

Development Victoria will continue to work closely with Heritage Victoria, the City of Melbourne, the community and other key stakeholders to identify opportunities for the revitalisation of Central Pier and adjacent waterfront along Harbour Esplanade to create a vibrant waterfront destination.
