One of Alexandrina Council’s premier riverside boulevards recently became more welcoming and accessible, with the purchase of a currently unutilised piece of land on Liverpool Road in Goolwa.
At its meeting on Monday 21 January 2019, Alexandrina Council endorsed the purchase of the SA Water Pump Station on Liverpool Road, Goolwa. The purchase saw Alexandrina Council partner with SA Water to transform the old SA Water Pump Station on Liverpool Road, Goolwa into community open space at a cost of $63,500.
The purchase required SA Water to decommission the site, remove structures, and landscape the site with turf and a bush tucker garden with Council maintaining the site into the future. The Pump Station previously pumped water from the Murray River for the town water supply, with these operations ceasing many years ago. The 1200m2 site was previously fenced and contained two outbuildings and a submerged holding tank.
