Riverfront Redevelopment
Sturt Reserve on the Riverfront of Murray Bridge is a special place. A mecca for outdoor pleasure and fun for locals and visitors.
The redevelopment of the riverfront at Murray Bridge will see Sturt Reserve transform, become a centre of activity and a powerful source for community pride. The works proposed will set the scene for the significant transformation of Murray Bridge and establish it as a destination of choice to live, work, invest, do business study and holiday.
Swanport Road Master Plan
Swanport Road is one of four main entries in to Murray Bridge. Upgrades and enhancements are currently in progress to Adelaide Road.
The Swanport Road Master Plan identified a new landscape character for the entry and overall streetscape. The design will enhance the local character of the area and provide a landscape that is contextual and engaging. Improved pedestrian amenity as well as greater streetscape changes will provide for local residents as well as visitors to the town.
