Apollo Bay Harbour Redevelopment

Project overview

Improvements to the Apollo Bay Harbour will provide an enhanced visitor experience and broaden the commercial and recreational opportunities in the precinct. In June 2023, we were provided funding. This will deliver:

• Upgrades and minor extension to the Apollo Bay Fishermen’s Cooperative building to accommodate an improved commercial offering and visitor experience with an improved outdoor terrace which provides additional space and seating.
• Construction of enhanced public open spaces including a new public viewing deck extending over the Port Operations Depot roof.
• Improvements to the existing Port Operations Depot including facilities which create a safer workplace and provide greater visual access to the working harbour and slipway.
• Maximise public carparking at the Mother's Beach carpark and provide improved pedestrian and transport connections around the Apollo Bay Harbour Precinct.

The Apollo Bay Harbour Redevelopment Project will revitalise the Apollo Bay Harbour precinct, providing safer and more equitable public access to the coastline and available recreational activities as well as improved public use and amenity. The redevelopment will also improve the safety and operations of commercial activities, including fishing, and industrial uses in the precinct and provide benefits for the economy through both tourism and operational enhancements.

The precinct will be redeveloped holistically with a consideration to the heritage, character, and connectivity of the area and its varied uses. This includes consideration of Eastern Maar Cultural Heritage and Values.
