A significant redevelopment was undertaken in 2004 which saw the precinct reinvigorated to include entertainment, art, heritage and leisure facilities. The development of extensive berthing/mooring facilities, a boardwalk, barbeque/picnic locations and walking paths saw the Port revitalised - and become increasingly popular with both tourists and locals alike.
This Centre presently houses the Sale Library, Gippsland Art Gallery, Sale Visitor Centre, Council Chambers, café and community spaces.
East of the Centre, the Borun and Tuk Aboriginal cultural walk was created, providing pedestrian access from Foster Street to the Port itself. The path includes lighting, landscaping and culturally significant canoe seating, whilst also telling the Gunaikurnai creation story of Borun the pelican and Tuk the musk duck.
West of the Centre, the Sale Skate Park received a significant facelift and expansion to become one of the best skate facilities east of Melbourne. This area also includes a multi-court facility, barbeque shelter and an all-ages play space.
Visually attractive and informative signage, combined with paving and landscaping seamlessly link all aspects of the precinct together.
Today, the Port Precinct is regarded as Sale's cultural and entertainment hub and is considered one of Gippsland's must-visit tourism locations.
