In 2020 the Australian Government and the Government of South Australia announced funding commitments to Alexandrina Council's proposed Goolwa Wharf Precinct Revitalisation Project.
Council would receive $3.75 million from the Australian Government’s Building Better Regions Fund and $1.25 million from the Government of South Australia.
In July 2021, the Goolwa Wharf Precinct’s Signal Point building received $980,000 from the Australian Government under the Murray–Darling Basin Economic Development Program (Round 3) to create a state-of-the-art exhibition for an 'Experience Centre'. The resulting exhibition Yuntulun Ku:li-war would showcase Ngarrindjeri and colonial heritage, the ecology of the Murray River, Lower Lakes and Coorong and activate the building space.
The upgrade to the building would include replacing the roof, adding solar panels to the building, installing new heating and cooling systems, installing a solar shelter at the rear of the building, installing a front canopy, and landscaping the forecourt to improve the connection between the building and the Wharf.
Yuntulun Ku:li-war was open to the public in March 2024 with final work on the Signal Point Experience Centre building completed in October 2024,
