Refurbishment & Renovation of Moulamein WharfLast modified: November 11, 2008 - 12:32 AM
A public and community meeting was held in Moulamein in 2006 to discuss the future directions and requirements of the Wakool Shire Council. 198 residents from the Moulamein & District Region attended the meeting and identified the need to commence maintenance on the wharf as a priority.
Estimated cost of the project was $56,600, with funds being made up of % grant monies and donations from local businesses and residents.
Council received notification on 21/11/07 that the application for funding was successful. The Refurbishment and Restoration Project will see the historic river wharf at Moulamein, which is one of the last known inland river wharfs on the Edward River, be returned to a safe and attractive icon that it once was. The wharf serves as a reminder of by gone days. The project has five main components aimed at renovating and restoring the wharf to it’s original glory. Including:
The project is a new venture that will be a significant step in the long term plan to restore Moulamein’s iconic attractions. Council staff have done an excellent job of refurbishing and renovating the old wharf structure and surrounds including the placement of the redgum carving of a River Boat Captain, which highlights the role the wharf played in Moulamein’s early history.
