During the closure and renovations of the St. Kilda Breakwater, the usual penguin viewing spots are not available and you cannot walk out to see them. If you are very lucky you can see them from the beach and the occasional one does wander closer to the shore.

Please make sure to read the following and do not touch them and give them plenty of space: https://stkildapenguins.com.au/penguin-viewing/

The latest update of the works as of May 2024:

Major works continue. Visitors can now see the outline and decking for the new 450 m pier. Timber decking is a feature that will be prominent as the curved seating area and tiers are nearing completion.

The project

The project will transform the area to make it more accessible and welcoming for all. The new pier provides a better public space, better views of St Kilda, and the city skyline. It also offers a wider, disability-compliant walkway, new restrooms, and tiered seating. The 450-metre-long pier will be constructed of concrete and wood with a design life of 50 years.

Parks Victoria, in partnership with Department of Transport and Planning, is undertaking this exciting reconstruction of the iconic St Kilda Pier.

Project funding

The Victorian Government has invested $53 million in this project.
