Project Details

The project will support the growing tourism and visitor economy by delivering public infrastructure and accessibility improvements through several initiatives.

The tourism improvements include;

  • A new public toilet and a new or upgraded wastewater treatment plant in the adjoining Kennett River Caravan Park; and
  • Car park and road improvements works

The revised location of the toilets and wastewater treatment plant to within the Kennett River Caravan Park will ensure maintenance efficiencies, improve traffic flow and safety within the precinct.

One of the design principles for the project is to include traffic management features that will discourage large coaches from entering the local road network into Kennett River, providing parking for small tour buses and promote safer pedestrian movement and driver behaviour.

Another key objective of the project is that new facilities are appropriate to Kennett River’s size and unique character, retaining open space areas, and views and access to Kennett River.
