First sod turned on Riverfront Activation project
Works to upgrade Horsham’s riverfront pathways are set to be completed within the next 12 months, after Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack turned the first sod on Monday to start construction on the first of the region’s much-anticipated Riverfront Activation projects.
Horsham Rural City Council successfully applied for both state and federal government to enhance and activate the Wimmera River Precinct and its link to the Central Activity District of Horsham.
“We appreciate the Commonwealth Government’s contribution of $1.65 million and also the Victorian Government grant of $500,000. Council is contributing funding of $850,000 towards this first stage,” Mayor Robyn Gulline said.
Date Time
Nature and Water Play Park funding secured
Horsham Rural City Council has secured $2.1 million from Sport and Recreation Victoria to develop the region’s first Nature and Water Play Park.
Located at Horsham’s riverfront precinct, the park will be free and accessible for all ages and capabilities, all year round.
The concept is part of the broader City to River Masterplan to activate the riverfront.
Mayor Robyn Gulline said attracting significant funding for local projects was a major win for the Wimmera.
Sport and Recreation Victoria’s contribution came via its Community Sport Infrastructure Stimulus Program while $350,000 has been allocated from the Commonwealth Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program.
