1 July 2024

We are excited to advise that a contractor has been appointed for the Wearing Street riverfront and Mann Street improvement works and construction will begin onsite from 15 July 2024.

It is anticipated construction will be complete by mid-2025.

For safety, the whole area, including the car park, public toilet and watercraft launch area will be fenced off and inaccessible to the public while works are underway.

Access to council’s Sauerbier House Cultural Exchange and aquatic user groups located at Wearing Street will remain open however parking will be limited.

The council-approved Stage 2 design includes:

  • expanded aquatic launch area with two beach access ramps.
  • viewing shelter with seating.
  • new public toilet and outdoor shower.
  • reconfigured car park.
  • improved access to the precinct and traffic management.
