At that time the pier housed an amusement parlour including gaming machines and an open air picture theatre.

With views of Redcliffe peninsula, the Boondall Wetlands, Moreton Bay Islands and the Shorncliffe cliffs, the pier is a feature in the nautical landscape of this northside Brisbane suburb.

The boardwalk leading to the pier and the adjoining parks underwent large scale renovations in 2008 as part of a Brisbane City Council project aimed at attracting tourists to the area and reclaiming its bayside suburb character.

[6] In March 2012 Brisbane City Lord Mayor Graham Quirk stated he wanted to renew the pier.

The renewed pier design includes concrete and steel substructure and timber joists, decking, handrails and rotunda.

There will also be a larger hammerhead and a lower platform at the end of the pier, fish cleaning stations, water fountains, benches and light poles.

[7] Since renewal in 2016, the pier has been open to the public and is a common spot for locals for early morning jogging, running and taking photos of the sunrise.
