A wheelchair accessible pontoon has been constructed at Goulburn Valley Water’s (GVW) Dunyak Moira fishing ponds just in time for extended opening hours during the school holidays. GVW installed the pontoon in partnership with Burnanga Indigenous Fishing Club, and with a grant from the Department of Energy Environment and Climate Action (DEECA).
It is the latest addition to the 12-month-old community facility, which is located at Merrigum’s decommissioned Water Treatment Plant.
GVW’s managing director Dr Steve Capewell said the accessibility improvements were a natural progression in the development of the site. “This is another step toward Dunyak Moira becoming an even greater drawcard for people who have an interest in not only fishing, but in the environment, sustainability, well-being, and community activation,” he said.
