A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will deliver better boating and fishing infrastructure for our community, keeping families having fun safely around the water in Williamstown.
We’ll invest $6 million towards critical repairs to support the re-opening of the popular Workshops Pier – which has been closed in the interests of public safety – in the Williamstown maritime precinct.
The investment will breathe new life into the pier, ensuring the much-loved location can be enjoyed for generations to come.
Victorians and their families love spending time outdoors, and with Labor’s strong investment, many more locals and visitors alike will be able to enjoy the pastime of boating and fishing.
The Labor Government continues to deliver better fishing and boating facilities on waterways all over the state, investing more than $130 million in improvements and upgrades.
In 2018, we promised to make it cheaper and easier to get out on the water by abolishing parking and launch fees – and that’s exactly what we’ve delivered, saving families up to $315 each year on an annual parking permit.
Labor is doing what matters – supporting Victorian fishers and boasters to get out on the water and backing jobs right across our state.
