A new $8 million platform opened at Victoria’s Loch Ard Gorge, improving safety, access, and conservation.
A new $8 million viewing platform, Poombeeyt Koontapool, has opened at Victoria’s Loch Ard Gorge Blowhole, replacing a structurally unsafe platform closed 15 years ago.
Designed by Denton Corker Marshall with input from the Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation and artist Vicki Couzens, the structure enhances the experience of the blowhole’s roar while improving safety and protecting the environment.
Part of the Shipwreck Coast Master Plan’s first stage, it is one of several upgrades aimed at shifting tourism from short visits to immersive, multi-day experiences.
Additional projects include an accessible viewing area for the Twelve Apostles and a new visitor center.
While a proposed entry fee has sparked discussion, officials stress that natural erosion will continue to shape the region.
The developments reflect a collaborative effort to balance access, conservation, and cultural preservation.
