Cohuna CBD and Waterfront Connections Project

Completed in mid-2021, Stage 1 of the Cohuna Waterfront Development included the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Cohuna Island and Tennis roads (see main photo), providing easier access for vehicles accessing the Cohuna Recreation Reserve, Cohuna Swimming Pool, Cohuna Bowls Club and Cohuna Tennis Club.

These works were supported by the State Government’s $2.7 billion Building Works package.

Opened to the public in late December 2021, the Cohuna All Abilities Adventure Playground celebrates Cohuna’s rich links to Gunbower Creek and the agriculture sector in a manner which people of all abilities can enjoy.

Key features of the playground, designed following extensive community engagement conducted in 2020, include water play elements, a three-storey play area designed as an old farm shack, climbing areas and flying fox, all located along a pathway that replicates the Gunbower Creek.

A junior play area was installed in June 2022, featuring a see-saw, slide, noughts and crosses wall and log scramble climbing post suitable for younger children.

These works were supported by the State Government’s $2.7 billion Building Works package.

Completed in June 2022, Stage 2 of the the Cohuna Waterfront Development focused on improving connections between the town's CBD and Gunbower Creek.

Work began in November 2021 to improve the footpath along King George Street adjacent to Garden Park, with construction of the remainder of the development beginning in January 2022.

Works occurred in the following locations:

Corner of King George and Sampson streets

Construction of a new seating area at the corner of King George and Sampson streets was completed in March 2022. Improvements to this area were funded by the Federal Government’s Murray–Darling Basin Economic Development Program.

King George Street dining spaces

Construction of dedicated dining spaces either side of the King George Street pedestrian crossing were completed in mid-2022. These works also included improvements to kerbing along the Cohuna CBD section of King George Street.

Garden Park improvements

Completed in June 2022, improvements undertaken throughout Garden Park included the installation of a jetty on the banks of Gunbower Creek (above), the creation of Cohuna Monument Park and improved lighting.
