Stage 1 of the Sturt Reserve Redevelopment- the Recreation Precinct is now complete and was officially opened by Federal Member for Barker Tony Pasin and Mayor Brenton Lewis on Wednesday 23 February 2022.
The Recreation Precinct includes the Murray Bridge Regional Rowing Centre, surrounding landscaping, shared paths, lighting, the pontoon, the Murray Cods Memorial, Trail Head and a new community shelter.
Works on the precinct were completed on time and on budget prior to Australia Day. This marks the completion of the the first stage of the Sturt Reserve Redevelopment; a $34million Riverfront Redevelopment long term project, which will be rolled out in stages over the coming years.
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 completed works 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.
