Grafton Waterfront Precinct

GRAFTON WATERFRONT PRECINCT – CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

The Grafton Waterfront Precinct project is taking shape with the construction of a 3m wide shared concrete path for pedestrians and cyclists along the foreshore from Prince Street to Clarence Street with seats and picnic spots along the path’s 700m length.

Construction of the path alongside the Clarence River is well advanced, with nearby landscaping activities underway. Works are now focused on Memorial Park near Prince St with demolition of existing concrete footpaths in readiness for the installation of new footpaths, feature gardens and structures.

Completion scheduled for 2023.

PLAN TO REDEVELOP GRAFTON ROWING CLUB

Proposal includes new waterfront venue

Tying nicely into the Grafton Waterfront Precinct project is Grafton Rowing Club’s plans to upgrade its clubhouse building. Proposed plans include an additional top floor to provide a hireable function and meeting space, a lift and accessible facilities.

Grafton Rowing Club and their consultants have been in consultation with the Open Spaces and Facilities team, Cultural Heritage Officer and development planners over the upgrade. Works and the impact on the Grafton Waterfront Precinct have also been considered in development of the plans.
