Council has completed a Master Plan for the Corowa Riverfront Precinct. This document has been adopted by Council and will be used to guide the future upgrade and management of this important area.

The Corowa Riverfront Precinct provides a variety of recreation and community oriented opportunities for residents and visitors to the Corowa region. The precinct provides excellent public access to the Murray River which is a significant recreation and tourism asset for Corowa. In this sense the precinct also acts as a significant economic driver for Corowa providing momentum for tourism and visitation.

Based on this, a vision for the precinct has been developed and states that…

“The Corowa Riverfront Precinct, with its high scenic, environmental and recreation value, will be protected, conserved and enhanced to provide a focal point for community and visitor activities, enabling optimal community, economic and environmental benefit”

 The Corowa Riverfront Master Plan is the outcome of collaboration between Corowa Shire Council, the Corowa community and CPG Australia in the development of a guiding document for the Riverfront Precinct.

This Master Plan is not a detailed project by project implementation document. It is, however, a basis for planning, funding and further design, providing sound direction for future upgrades and development of the Riverfront Reserve Precinct.

The Riverfront Precinct will become the heart of Corowa, particularly with the relocation of the Council building and community facilities to the old Sports Club.

CPG has also prepared a Master Plan for the Wahgunyah Foreshore, in conjunction with the Indigo Shire Council and the Wahgunyah community.  The Wahgunyah Foreshore to Lake Moodemere presents accessible linear riverfront public land which provides for high quality passive recreation within a bushland setting. This environment connects with and complements the setting of the Corowa Riverfront, and also offers users with alternative experiences and opportunities to those provided at Corowa.

The Corowa/Wahgunyah complementary areas and facilities offer high quality regional destinations.

Implementation of the recommendations outlined in the Master Plan will require ongoing commitment from Council, the Corowa community and support from the State and Australian Governments. Successful partnerships created to enhance the Riverfront Precinct will provide the region with optimal environmental, community and economic benefit.
