Statement of Significance

The Mornington Pier is of local historical, social and archaeological significance. The pier has been influential in shaping the development of Mornington and is historically important for its association with bay trade during the mid 19th century. The pier is of local social significance for its continuing association with passive recreational activities including promenading and angling. There is some potential for archaeological deposits to be located on the seafloor adjacent to the existing pier and areas where additions were once located, for example, the area of the former "L"-shaped extension.
