The Sustainable Recreation Water for Quambatook Project has transformed the Quambatook Weir Pool into an aquatic precinct.
Supported by more than $2 million in funding from the Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Fund from the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions, the project involved the construction of launching facilities for boats, kayaks and canoes at the Quambatook Weir Pool, and the installation of picnic facilities and a fire pit.
ABOVE: Improvements have occurred throughout the Quambatook Weir Pool site and the Avoca River.
Work also occurred to link the weir pool site to the Quambatook township via new tracks and trails, providing easy access between the aquatic precinct, traders, and the local caravan parks and sports precinct. This included connecting the eastern and western banks of the Avoca River via a new bridge near River Street, Quambatook.
Infrastructure has also been installed that will manage the flow of the Avoca River, supporting more consistent water levels in the Quambatook Weir.
