Measuring around 450m in length, the new pier has a distinctive curved design which was selected following an extensive community consultation process in 2017. 

On-site investigation works including bore testing are due to commence soon, with construction on this this $50.3 million State Government funded project due to begin in mid-2021.

The current pier is almost 50 years old and is reaching the end of its design life. In peak season, the pier hosts more than 6,000 visitors a day.
