Stage 1 of the Riverside Revitalisation project is complete! The newly named River Wharves is located in the prime Riverfront location between Paxtons and the Mackay Fish Market. The finished project can now be enjoyed by the community by taking a seat under the Pavillion of picnic shelters to appreciate the blue river views, walk, ride or run on the asphalt shared path, or participate/hold an event in the space to bring the stage to life.
Stage 2, the construction of the Pioneer River Floating Pontoon was also delivered in February 2024.
The Riverside Revitalisation project is jointly funded by the Australian Government and Mackay Regional Council. The intent of the Riverside Revitalisation Project is to provide an activated space that inspires the rediscovery of the Pioneer River edge as a quirky, distinctly Mackay destination. The project will further add to Mackay’s tourism offering and support liveability.
