Peter Stevens Motorcycles faces a fight for survival as employees wait nervously for the outcome
www.bikesales.com.auHere’s the latest I can confirm about Peter Stevens Motorcycles in Dandenong based on recent reports:
The business faced collapse in mid-2025 and entered voluntary administration, with administrators seeking buyers for the group including the Dandenong outlet. A sale process led to new owners being identified for multiple Peter Stevens and Harley Heaven stores, including Dandenong [source: Star News coverage from 2025; bikesales and related reporting]. This indicates ongoing restructuring rather than immediate closure for the Dandenong site.[2][3][7]
In June 2025, administrators announced that two credible purchasers would take over a portion of the network, with the Dandenong store specifically included in deals to preserve brands and employment, aiming completion subject to regulatory approvals and conditions precedent by mid-2025 to mid-2027 depending on approvals. This suggests the Dandenong location could continue under new ownership, though final outcomes depended on regulatory clearances and completion of the sale.[1]
Prior reporting around the same period emphasized continuing trading during the sale process and the potential for significant restructuring across the Australian dealer network, with employment and turnover figures cited to explain the scope of the business being restructured.[3][2]
If you’d like, I can look for more recent local coverage from the Dandenong Star News or follow-up government or licensing announcements to confirm whether the Dandenong site remains open and under which ownership. Would you like me to pull the latest updates from those sources?
