St Kilda Pavilion

[2] It was designed by James Charles Morell of the Victorian Public Works Department, and built in 1904 by John W.

[3][4] Until the 1930s, the structure was widely known as Parer's Pavilion; however, its actual name was the Austral Refreshment Rooms.

[2] Their son Colin had worked at the kiosk since 1934, and took it over after his father died in 1959, living upstairs with his family, until he retired in 1987 after which various alterations were reversed, and the pavilion was restored.

[6] After massive public support to rebuild the kiosk and the support of Premier Steve Bracks,[7] it was reconstructed to the original 1903 plans, utilising some of the salvaged components, such as the cast iron roof, decorative cresting and weather vane.

An additional structure, expanding the capacity was erected directly behind the kiosk and is obscured by the pavilion when viewed from the pier.
