NEWS JUST IN: We are thrilled to announce that the NEWS JUST IN: We are thrilled to announce that the Victorian Government has reversed its decision to demolish the historic Flinders Pier, and instead agreed to fund its restoration. This is a significant outcome for the Mornington Peninsula.It is a win for the habitat of the Weedy Sea Dragon; the diving community; the many hundreds of thousands of visitors who enjoy the pier each year; and commercial operators who rely on the Flinders Pier to earn a living.It is also a victory for the people of Flinders, who came together and fought hard to protect an amenity that is popular with many Victorians and an important symbol of our maritime history.Thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻#morningtonpeninsula #weedyseadragon #flinders
