Showcasing economic activation and collaboration at the Goolwa Wharf Precinct
Council’s Economic Development team recently hosted the Regional Development Australia Board on a visit to the upgraded Goolwa Wharf Precinct, a key site in our region’s evolving economic and cultural landscape.
The tour provided an opportunity to showcase the significant work Council has undertaken to revitalise the precinct, both through $18M worth of infrastructure investment and strategic activation.
The wharf is now a vibrant destination for hospitality, authentic heritage and ecotourism, visual arts, and First Nations storytelling.
New offerings at the Goolwa Wharf Precinct include Goolwa Visual Arts in the Chart Room and cafe at the Wharf Shed.
The Precinct was officially launched at the South Australian Wooden Boat Festival in April, an event that brought together all three levels of government to celebrate the completion of the Goolwa Wharf Precinct upgrade.
The festival is now a finalist in the 2025 South Australian Tourism Awards.
The visit from RDA AHFKI underscores the importance of regional collaboration in shaping sustainable growth and prosperity.
