Work is underway to install a water-sport pontoon on the Wimmera River in Horsham.
The pontoon, earmarked for the eastern end of Baillie Street near a helipad, is designed to provide safe and easy access to the water, support outdoor education programs and greater recreation and connectivity for residents.
Horsham Rural City Council communities and place director Kevin O’Brien said the council identified the site after consultation with user and potential user groups
“The eastern end of Baillie Street provides a quiet spot to enter the water with a large lagoon of calm water in the vicinity,” he said. “Parking is available in the area and it is the preferred location of our local schools.
