Completed proposals

The Victorian Government has entered into an agreement with The Little Group (trading as Port Phillip Ferries) to support an exclusive three-year trial of a new ferry service between Portarlington and the Docklands (Victoria Harbour).

The ferry service will be operated by Port Phillip Ferries supported by up to $5.04 million in Government funding over the next three years to facilitate the trial.

The trial will provide the first regular passenger ferry service operating from Portarlington to Melbourne. The trial will also provide additional travel options for visitors to the Bellarine Peninsula and will encourage both Melbourne, interstate and overseas visitors to visit the various Bellarine Peninsula attractions, thereby helping to support the local Bellarine economy.

Port Phillip Ferries will operate two return services per day between Portarlington and the Docklands from Monday to Sunday and public holidays.

Port Phillip Ferries has commenced operation of the service.

Australia Post and Cbus Property will fund and develop a new Victorian Police Centre on land owned by Australia Post at 311 Spencer Street, Melbourne. The Victorian Government will enter into a long-term lease with the proponents for the use of the facility.

The site will allow connection to the adjacent City West Police Complex at 313 Spencer Street, Melbourne, creating a consolidated police precinct and will also provide the appropriate security required for police headquarters.

Construction is due to commence in 2017 and completion is expected in 2020.
