Piers of Port Melbourne: People & Place

Join David Radcliffe from the Port Melbourne Historical & Preservation Society (PMH&PS) to hear about the social significance of the piers of Port Melbourne as part of the Australian Heritage Festival.

David will explore their evolution as places of commerce and leisure, welcomes and farewells, diplomacy and strife, celebration and reflection; dynamic venues where people engage with each other.

Australian Heritage Festival

The theme for the 2025 Australian Heritage Festival is Connections. The Australian Heritage Festival is coordinated annually by the National Trust of Australia.  

The Australian Heritage Festival is Australia’s largest annual community-driven heritage festival, created with the vision of recognising and celebrating the significance of our natural, historic and Indigenous heritage places and ensuring they are valued by Australians, protected for future generations and cared for by the community.
