Background
This unique location adjoins the coastal sand dune system and the bank of the Onkaparinga River/Ngangkiparri. Since the early 1930s, it has been a popular community attraction and a hub for aquatic sport and recreational activities.

The transformation of the riverfront area continues to progress well. Here's a look at the latest developments:

Engagement outcomes
Community feedback on the original draft redevelopment concept plan was sought between 21 May and 9 June 2018, and the designs have evolved since in response to ongoing liaison with key stakeholders, aimed at achieving a functional balance between aquatic use, events, open space, car parking and commercial use.
