New Renmark Riverfront Wharf launches

Set on the banks of the Murray River, the project was the largest in Renmark Paringa Council’s history.

The stunning upgrade of iconic Renmark Riverfront Wharf has transformed this popular community area, which is now a more accessible and welcoming spot on the river.

The upgrade includes a new 3-metre wide walkway, improved access for houseboats and a revitalised wharf area with improved lighting and accessible ramps. Safety has also been considered, with inclusions for emergency services to be able to get down to the wharf in case of emergencies.

Locals and visitors can now enjoy better mooring facilities with prime access to riverfront restaurants, accommodation and recreational areas with its thoughtful design.

Future flood events have been planned for, with the new wharf rebuilt to withstand high river flow and flooding, and major renewals not required for the next 30 to 50 years.

The project injected $2 million into the local economy, involving over 40 local businesses, creating jobs, and boosting the region's prosperity.

Renmark Paringa Mayor Peter Hunter said the upgrade brings significant benefits to the region.

“The new Renmark Wharf is a modern facility that enhances safety, functionality, and accessibility for our entire community, as well as visitors,” Mayor Hunter said.

The Renmark Wharf upgrade was made possible thanks to funding partnerships with state and federal governments and the hard work of council and contractors.
