More fishing platforms and cleaning tables
Better facilities make a good day’s fishing great, which is why we have built more fishing platforms and fish cleaning tables as part of the Go Fishing Victoria plan (phase two).
Fishing platforms
Corio Bay, Geelong
Three jetties were upgraded at Lascelles North, Lascelles South and St Helens with help from the City of Greater Geelong. Upgrades include new bench seating, raised kickboards with rod holders and solar lighting, making chasing a flathead, snapper or other Corio Bay favourites easier than ever.
Hopkins River, Warrnambool
Two fishing platforms have been upgraded at Jubilee Park and in Warrnambool (right) with assistance from the Warrnambool City Council. Upgrades included seating for land based fishers and ladders for kayak and boat fishers.
Barwon River, Barwon Heads
We have upgraded three fishing jetties at Pelican Court and Sheepwash, with help from Parks Victoria, by replacing decking, installing new handrails and adding raised kickboards with rod holders.
