| About | Urangan Pier is a former deep-water, cargo-handling facility initially built to facilitate the export of sugar, timber, and coal export. The Pier was built between 1913 and 1917, initially to a length of 1124 metres. The pier, served by the extension of the railway line from Pialba, was used to transfer cargo between rail and ships. The pier was closed in 1985, and 239 metres of it was demolished. However, 868 metres of the pier were left due to public outcry, and the land was given to the Hervey Bay City Council. By 2009 the last 220-metre section of the pier had been fully restored, and the original timber pylons had been replaced with steel pylons with a plastic covering. |
