Maintenance Werribee River Entrance Dredging
Maintenance dredging is conducted at Werribee River entrance as part of Parks Victoria’s program to ensure safe boating access at key sites within Port Phillip and Western Port.
Why does Parks Victoria dredge Werribee River?
As the local port and waterway manager for Port Phillip and Western Port, Parks Victoria is responsible for providing safe access to local port facilities. Over time sand naturally fills in boating access channels like Werribee River entrance. Dredging is undertaken to maintain safe access to this and other local port facilities like boat ramps, piers, jetties, and harbours. Dredging has been occurring at this site for more than 20 years.
How long will the dredging take? The entire process is expected to take 3-4 weeks, depending on weather.
