    Ongoing Works

    Temporary Closure of Webb Dock Trail Southern Section

    Last updated: 21/10/26

    Port of Melbourne is planning to upgrade an existing stormwater drain beneath Webb Dock Trail. To safely complete these essential works, the southern section of the trail will be temporarily closed.

    The works are planned to take place between Friday 23 October and Friday 30 October (subject to change). Working hours are between 7:00am and 6:00pm on weekdays. No works will take place over the weekend, and the trail will be open with normal access during this time.

    During works:

    • A temporary closure will apply to the section of trail beyond the lookout tower at the south-east corner.
    • The eastern side of Webb Dock Trail will remain open and accessible.

    Once complete, the trail area will be reinstated to its original condition and will reopen with normal 24‑hour public access.

    This webpage will be updated with the latest information.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding while we complete these works.

    Perce White Reserve Boardwalk Renewal

    Port of Melbourne is planning renewal works to refresh the timber panels along the boardwalk
    around Perce White Reserve, adjacent to the Maritime Cove Playground.

    The works are planned to start in the first week of November and will take approximately five weeks to complete (subject to change).

    During this period:

    • Works will occur Monday to Friday, between 7:00am and 4:30pm each day.
    • The works will be completed in sections, so users will continue to have access to the majority of the boardwalk.
    • Clear signage will be in place to let people know where works are happening and guide them safely around the area.

    Once complete, the upgraded boardwalk will help keep Perce White Reserve welcoming, accessible, and enjoyable for all users throughout summer and beyond.

    This webpage will be updated with the latest information. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we complete these works
