The Precinct is a very important industrial areafocusing on marine engineering and protection of this industryis paramount. The shipbuilding operations make a significantcontribution to State economic development and employment.The Wharves is representative of <strong>Williamstown</strong>’s history, whichprimarily began as a marine industrial area. This is reflectedthrough the large BAE Systems Australia site (formerly Tenix)situated at the southern end of this Precinct, which is alsoprotected by a Heritage Overlay. The expanse of water withinthis Precinct is managed by the Port of Melbourne Corporation,with the area between Gellibrand Pier and Breakwater Pierdesignated as a Security Regulated Zone. There is no publicaccess to any of the piers within this Precinct.Various uses adjoin the Precinct, namely industrial, tourism andopen space.
