Apollo Bay Harbour Redevelopment

Project background

We are revitalising the Apollo Bay Harbour precinct to improve public access, enhance maritime operations, and create a more inviting and functional space for the community, visitors, and local industry. 

Community engagement for the project has now concluded, following extensive consultation that informed the design and planning stages.

Feedback helped shape the final concept for the harbour precinct, ensuring it reflects community values and supports the area’s cultural, recreational, and working harbour identity. 

With planning and design nearing completion, construction works are scheduled to commence in early 2026. 

The $12.61 million redevelopment of the Apollo Bay Harbour will provide an improved visitor experience and broaden the commercial and recreational opportunities in the precinct.

The project will deliver:

  • Upgrades and minor extension to the Apollo Bay Fisherman’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 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 car parking at the Mothers Beach car park and provide improved pedestrian and transport connections around the Apollo Bay Harbour Precinct.
