Murray River Road As Has the Potential To: the Directions of UM2030 Have Been Firmly Driven by the ‘Great River Road’ Touring the Community

UPPER MURRAY GREAT RIVER ROAD This document is one of a series that provides ideas and concepts for implementing the UM2030 community vision.

It is intended as a roadmap to guide community activity and encourage collaboration between the proposed Upper Murray community board, governments, the private sector, service providers and authorities.

The concepts and ideas were developed in response to community priorities as outlined in the UM2030 Masterplan. Most will require further refinement and testing to their feasibility and viability.

The plan on the following page describes potential upgrades along the route of the Great River Road.

Currently there are limited facilities at stopping points along the route, with existing facilities in need of replacement. Some facilities such as Farrans Lookout have recently been upgraded and others are being progressively upgraded by the relevant authorities. Walwa There is no signage directing tourists towards the Upper Murray Region from the Hume Highway. Signage along the road itself is infrequent and inconsistent in message.

There are a number of existing camping sites available, including at Walwa, Tintaldra, Upper Murray Reserve, Neils Bend, Clarke Lagoon, Jingellic Bend, Gadds Bend and Burrowye Bend. These campsites offer a spectacular setting adjacent to the Murray River but have potential for improvement. Murray River

Careful consideration will need to be given to the capital and maintenance costs associated with any facilities. Design and location details will also need to take into account flood levels and bushfire risks.

Commission sculptures for lookouts or rest areas. Provide written information on the aboriginal settlement in the area. Place some Murray River directional signs to point out major landmarks, like mountains.

To mark the beginning of the historic Great River Road route we propose a gateway project. The gateway is a land art project, comprising of 108 Main street Murray river road timber or concrete poles installed on the triangular site at the corner of Murry River Road and Main Road, Tintaldra.

The poles all reach an identical height to reinforce the ground plane at the base and the horizon at the top. Poles were selected as they close reference the immediate context of; bridge timbers, fencing posts and electrical poles. Main road AERIAL SITE PLAN A second gateway is proposed to mark the headwaters of the Murray River at Bringenbrong Main street Visualisation Reserve. Interpretive signage in line with the s1 a designs used for Farrans Lookout (see p. 12), identifying lookout furniture and a specially Murray river road commissioned artwork are proposed. Elements in Bringenbrong Reserve will need to be robust to withstand other environmental factors that affect the s1 site, such as flooding. TINTALDRA LOCATION PLAN
