Murray River Council has secured $1.08 million in grant funding to deliver placemaking and public realm upgrades to the southern entry of Moama, centred around Meninya Street near the Kerrabee Soundshell.
This area is a key gateway into Moama and plays an important role in shaping first impressions for residents, visitors and event attendees.
What the project will deliver
The project will improve the look, functionality and accessibility of the area through:
Removal of existing buildings to improve site layout and open space
Construction of a new standalone public amenities building, including an accredited Changing Places facility
Streetscape improvements including expanded greenspace, upgraded footpaths, and improved lighting
Relocation of the existing PTV bus stop (subject to feasibility and stakeholder approvals)
Construction of 45-degree angled parking on Blair Street, including two accessible (DDA compliant) bays
Why this project matters
This project is about more than just infrastructure, it’s about improving how people experience Moama.
Key benefits include:
Stronger town identity - Enhancing a major entry point creates a more welcoming and attractive gateway into Moama.
Supporting tourism and events - Improved public spaces near the Soundshell will better support events, visitors and local activity.
Better accessibility for everyone - New pathways, seating and a Changing Places facility will provide inclusive access for people of all abilities.
Safer and more connected spaces - Improved lighting, pedestrian links and transport connections will make the area easier and safer to use.
More usable green space Increased open space will support passive recreation, community use and future activation.
What to expect
During the construction stages, locals and visitors can expect:
Temporary impacts to site access, parking and footpaths
Public transport (bus stop) will be temporarily relocated during construction
Project updates will be provided prior to any changes and/or interruptions
Your input
Council is seeking feedback from the community and key stakeholders to help inform some of the the design elements related to this project.
Concept designs have been developed and are available on the 'design documents' tab on this page. Community input will be considered as part of the final design before construction begins.
Updates, concept plans and project information will be published here as the project progresses.
What we’re asking for feedback on
We are particularly interested in your views on:
Landscaping and greenspace improvements
Accessibility and ease of movement through the site
Bus stop relocation and public transport access
Safety, lighting, and general usability of the space
