Parks Victoria is developing a new plan to guide the future use and management of the Williamstown local port area.
The plan set out by Parks Victoria outlines the priorities that will guide future investment, ensuring the local port continues on.
Focusing on the on-water components, the plan addresses issues and challenges in the area, including the future of the five piers and jetties including Workshops Pier, Commissioners Jetty, Boyd Street Pier, Gem Pier and Ferguson Street Pier.
Other issues outlined by Parks Victoria include access channel sedimentation, and provision for large vessels and other uses.
Parks Victoria said there has already been a lot of consultation work done as part of developing the plan.
Including talking to traditional owners and holding focus groups with key stakeholders and users to understand what is important, how the area is currently being used and what improvements need to be made.
They are now inviting wider community feedback on the draft plan to help shape the development of the final plan, which is expected to be released later in the year.
This can be done by filling out a survey.
Following its completion, Parks Victoria will consider the feedback and release a final plan.
