  • Heritage Study
    WENTWORTH S H 1 R E HERITAGE STUDY Prepared for the Council of the Shire Of Wentworth by Hassell Planning Consultants Pty Ltd in association with Colin Pardoe June 1989 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The Wentworth Heritage Study was undertaken by Hassell Planning Consultants Pty Ltd at the request of the Wentworth Shire Council. Specialist input to the Study was provided by Colin Pardoe, Archaeologist. Funding assistance for the Study was obtained through the National Estates Programme. The Council, government authorities and the local community have all recognized the extensive heritage significance of the Wentworth Shire. However, due to the size of the Shire previous historical investigations have been limited to selected areas. This Study aims to be a more detailed and comprehensive assessment of the Shire's heritage. The Study involved the identification and assessment of items of heritage significance within the Shire and the formulation of practical recommendations relating to the recognition, preservation and restoration of those items. The Heritage Study could not have been undertaken without the valuable assistance and hospitality provided by the people of the Wentworth Shire. HERITAGE ITEM REVIEW The assessment of the heritage significance of the Wentworth Shire involved a lengthy investigation of historical documents, publications, unpublished material, surveys, plans, newspaper articles and photographs. Additionally, discussions were held with members of the community, the National Trust and relevant government authorities. Mr Jeff Whyte a local historian, provided valuable assistance and material for the purposes of the Study. Additionally, recent local publications relating to the history of Wentworth, Pooncarie, Gal Gal and Coomealla enabled quick reference to places and events of local historical importance.

  • Wentworth Shire Council Local Strategic
    ––– Foreword Wentworth Shire Council has had the privilege of working with the Department of Planning, Industry & Environment Chief Planner’s office and Western Region staff to prepare this Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS). The purpose of the LSPS is to develop a vision for land use in the Shire for the next 20 years by recognising and understanding the current land use trends and anticipate those that may likely emerge. Our LSPS identifies three trends that have the ability to play a significant role in our future population and economic growth. These trends include changes to our agricultural industry, the demand and opportunities for new tourism enterprises and new residential development. Wentworth Shire Council is committed to achieving the goals of the Community Strategic Plan. We believe the LSPS will provide the mechanism to support and facilitate our economic growth, social cohesion and environmental sustainability for the next twenty years and beyond.

  • Wentworth History & Heritage Trail
    suggested itineraries wentworth history & heritage trail Travel Distance - 68km. Time required approx. 6 – 7 hours Wentworth is situated at the junction of the Murray and Darling Rivers, an area first discovered by Captain Charles Sturt in 1830, paving the way for what was to become a thriving river port. Following Sturt’s discovery the junction became a crossing point for overland drovers and became known as Hawdon’s Ford. A number of squatters established rein over the area and by the mid-1840’s it became known as McLeod’s Crossing named for the first white residents of the settlement. With the arrival of the steamers in 1853 the port was established and became the largest inland port and the third largest port in Australia. The town site was approved in 1859 and was named after the New South Wales explorer and politician William Charles Wentworth, on June 21, 1859. Many of the early sites and buildings are featured in this history and heritage itinerary.
