Celebrating waterfront development

COHUNA’S waterfront development will be officially opened at the end of the month, with celebrations planned at Garden Park.

As part of the Cohuna Farmers and Makers Market on October 30, the opening will celebrate the transformational State Government-supported project that has created new attractions for residents and visitors within Apex and Garden parks.

“The $3.4 million Cohuna waterfront development has helped create attractions for Cohuna that are modern and contemporary, whilst embracing the natural environment,” council acting chief executive Geoff Rollinson said.

The project included construction of the Cohuna all abilities adventure playground, the revamped Cohuna Island and Tennis roads intersection, the Garden Park jetty, new outdoor dining spaces and improved lighting along Gunbower Creek.

“This project is already achieving its goal of reconnecting the Cohuna township to the picturesque Gunbower Creek, with residents and visitors alike using these new spaces for social gatherings, family catch-ups and recreational opportunities,” Mr Rollinson said.

There will be various attractions at Garden Park from 9am-1pm, including music from Jessica Lorraine, the Animals 2U Petting Zoo, Ron the Magician, Turtles Australia displays, food trucks and the Leo Club of Cohuna giant games.

“Come along the day prior to the official opening and explore what Cohuna has to offer, or make a day of it by visiting both Garden and Apex parks,” Mr Rollinson said.
