Princes Pier is a 580 metre long heritage listed timber pile pier constructed between 1912 and 1915.
The pier played a key role in Australia’s wartime and multicultural history as the departure point for Australian troops during the First and Second World wars and the first landing point in Australia for thousands of post-war migrants.
In 2011 Princes Pier underwent a $34 million refurbishment, funded by the Victorian Government, which was aimed at returning the once derelict structure back to the community as a new open and flexible public space. The restoration of Princes Pier is part of a broader plan to rejuvenate the Port Melbourne foreshore.
Lovell Chen, the heritage architects awarded the Princes Pier restoration project, chose Street Furniture Australia’s wide bollard due to its timeless shape and stylish stainless finish tying in perfectly with the pier’s final finished design.
Servicing the residents of Wentworth Point, the Sydney Olympic Park Ferry Wharf – first built in 1998 – was upgraded in 2006. Classic Plaza Back-to-Back Seats provide space-efficient seating to meet the demands of this busy commuter wharf.
The NSW Government is undertaking the Sydney Commuter Wharf Upgrade Program, the first stage of which involves upgrades to 12 wharves over the next 4 years. The first upgrade was the Milsons Point Wharf, completed in December 2010. The NSW Government uses private sector contractors to deliver its commuter wharf maintenance and upgrade programs.
Over the next 4 years, the NSW Government is undertaking a program to upgrade 12 wharves along the Sydney Harbour foreshore. Street Furniture has been chosen to provide new seating for these wharves. This featured project is located in Neutral Bay Wharf.
