St Kilda Pier Foreshore Upgrade

St Kilda Pier is being upgraded by Parks Victoria. We’ve recognised that there’s a great opportunity to extend their design, revitalise and upgrade the surrounding foreshore area and develop connecting paths between the promenade, park and other visitor attractions.

By adding to and extending their original upgrade works, we’re expecting to improve accessibility, community and commuter safety and the overall user experience of the pier and surrounds.

The key features of the Concept Plan include:

• Extension of the St Kilda Pier to Jacka Boulevard to create an iconic visitor entrance to the St Kilda foreshore precinct.
• Improved maintenance and emergency services vehicle access to the new pier entrance.
• Feature palm tree planting along the new pier entrance.
• Improved greening with new garden bed planting and additional tree planting to provide shade and minimise the urban heat island effect.
• New improved vehicle entry and exit into the existing St Kilda Sea Baths car park.
• Provision of tour bus drop off and pick up zone along the Jacka Boulevard.
• St Kilda Promenade (Bay Trail) safety upgrade.
• Extension of the public lighting north of the Pier along the new section of the St Kilda Promenade.
• Reinstatement of the southern edge of Catani Gardens with lawn and pathways, reflecting the original historic layout of the gardens.
• Upgraded stormwater drainage to mitigate current and future flooding.

To create an iconic setting for the new pier, a new green space and pedestrian plaza to replace a section of the St Kilda Sea Baths car park (where the existing car park entry is located) which will boost the natural shade and vibrancy of the foreshore area.
