Albury Riverside Precinct
Albury Riverside Precinct is a landmark project that has transformed the under-utilised and under-appreciated Murray River area, in turn re-orienting the life of Albury town to the beauty of the Murray River.
Multi-use areas, an elevated boardwalk and floating dock, and passive and active recreation areas cater for people of all abilities diverse needs as well as supporting regional tourism, commercial, community and cultural events. GroupGSA thoughtfully designed the riverside spot, promoting health and wellbeing, that has been embraced by the community.
The project is a compelling example of re-engaging a community and civic life with its river, celebrating the entity alongside which Albury has grown and creating new public spaces along the riverbank. It has created a place that can be used for community events, daily walks or quiet contemplation of the river has resulted in a community asset that meets the diverse needs of the local people.
The Precinct stretches more than a kilometre along the banks of the Murray River on the lands of the Wiradjuri people, guided by the vision to ‘Embrace the River’ and connect the community through natural and cultural experiences.
Key features include an accessible elevated boardwalk that meanders along the river’s edge, a rivercraft pontoon, canoe launch, rest points and multiple viewing opportunities to the river. There are shaded picnic areas and flexible open spaces to cater for community events and a path network that links to the Wagirra Trail, Wonga Wetlands and nearby swim centre.
