VIC Premier
The Andrews Labor Government is supporting local jobs and the economy by improving facilities at the Local Port of Portland Bay, where up to 40 per cent of fresh fish are caught in Victoria.
Minister for Fishing and Boating Melissa Horne said works will start in the coming days at the Trawler Wharf to install a new purpose-built pontoon and walkway extension that will increase space for more vessels to berth and improve safety at this important commercial fishing facility.
The Portland Trawler Wharf will remain open for use by commercial fishers during the works that are set to be complete by June 2021.
