The wetlands are now a popular location for residents, who enjoy using the walking and cycling tracks, outdoor exercise equipment and nature play playground. Landscaping works were also undertaken to significantly enhance the aesthetics of the area.

This upgrade was completed on time and within budget in July 2014 and was officially opened by Minister for Regional Development Hon Geoff Brock in August 2015. The terminal was redesigned to enhance its visual appeal, and also to increase functionality. The new facility assisted in attracting a second carrier, QantasLink, to the city.

The dog park was developed on a piece of unused land on Searle Street. The facility included the installation of purpose-built dog exercise equipment, a unique drinking fountain, catering for both humans and dogs, a large grassed area and safety gates. WHYALLA FORESHORE Whyalla City Council continued major redevelopment works at the Whyalla Foreshore, creating a popular, busy and highly used outdoor recreational hub.
