MEDIA RELEASE Wimmera River Discovery Trail – Dimboola Visitor Node

20 August 2020

With construction of the new Dimboola Library and Council Customer Service Centre now completed, works on the next stage of the Dimboola Community and Civic Precinct are expected to commence in the near future.

The next stages of the project will incorporate the landscaping of the former car park area and the refurbishment of the existing Dimboola Library and Customer Service Centre.

Landscaping of the former car park will form the Dimboola Visitor Node of the Wimmera River Discovery Trail and will include the establishment of lawn open space areas, construction of pathways, planting of appropriate trees, shrubs, plants and grasses, installation of seating and picnic tables and the construction of new public amenities.

Interpretive signage acknowledging Dimboola’s significant indigenous history and culture, local environmental and historical assets and events will also be established.

Hindmarsh Shire Council Mayor, Cr Rob Gersch said, “Tenders for the landscaping works have closed and Council Officers are undertaking the tender assessment process. I expect the successful contractor will be appointed in late August with works to commence as soon as possible after that”.

“The landscaping that will be carried out in the former car park area will provide a very user friendly and welcoming space between Lloyd Street and the creek and river environs at the rear of the new library” added Cr Gersch.

Cr Gersch said, “Now that the construction of the new Library and new public amenities are essentially completed, the landscaping work can effectively be carried out on a greenfield site”.

Page 1 of 2 The landscaped garden and lawn areas will fit perfectly with the rear veranda and deck of the library and will become a very versatile asset that will be able to be used for library and community events such as Australia Day”.

The Wimmera River Discovery Trail is being jointly funded by the Federal Governments Building Better Regions Program, the Victorian Governments Regional Partnership Program and the Department of Environment, Water, Land and Planning’s Community Climate Change Adaptation Program with additional support from Hindmarsh Shire Council.

“The Dimboola Community and Civic Precinct project the new Library, the Wimmera River Discovery Trail - Dimboola Visitor Node and the refurbishment of original Library are all very exciting for Dimboola will become a very popular facility for residents of and visitors to Dimboola in the future” said Cr Gersch.
