Background
Riverbend Historical Park is a key location along Werribee River and provides direct access to the river, with a canoe launch and picnic facilities. The park sits on the traditional lands of the Bunurong, whose ongoing connection to Country continues to shape the cultural and environmental significance of this area.
Council are proposing improvements to Riverbend Historical Park in response to expected increases in park use, and community requests for better facilities.
A rise in visitors and foot traffic at Riverbend Historical Park is anticipated due to:
- Nearby residential development nearing completion.
- A potential future pedestrian bridge over the Werribee River (exact location to be determined), which will connect to the future Werribee Township Regional Park.
In addition to this Melbourne Water will be upgrading the canoe launch to a floating pontoon.
What will the park upgrade look like?
