MENINYA STREET RE-DEVELOPMENT, MOAMA
The subject site is the gateway of the northern end of the Meninya Street precinct. Meninya Street has recently received a grant from state Government to develop the main street.
Murray River Council are looking to enhance Meninya Street and recreate it into ‘the Heart of Moama’. Their goals is to see a space where community and visitors can spend their time – during the day and night – all year round.
The reduction in trucks and general traffic numbers will allow the street to become more pedestrian and business-focused by providing more space for outdoor dining, retail and entertainment in Moama. Moama Echuca region already has a strong tourism economy, and this enhancement will aim to bring more visitors to Moama to increase length of stay and spending.
Construction of the Meninya Street precinct will be completed over several years in a staged approach to minimise disruption to the community and businesses in the area. It is expected that work will commence July 2023* once plans are finalised.

The Bridge Art Project, Moama
The subject site is also the gateway to The Bridge Art Project. The plan for an arts precinct will include building a new gallery on Meninya Street and a raised walkway from the gallery to Dhungala, the Murray River, a distance of approximately 1km through riverine forest.
The focus of the Bridge Art Project based in Moama, will be on the arts, immersed in nature, and will strongly feature First Nations art and history and untold stories from those previously silenced or unamplified.
The project will simultaneously bridge histories and pave a future while facilitating an educated reexamination of diverse perspectives. It aims to prompt new conversations that enquire into the past for direction.
The forest will be utilised for walking and bicycle paths, an arts trail, a sculpture park, active rehabilitation of previously farmed land, growing indigenous food and fibre and other entertainment including night-time events, bird and star watching, digital light shows etc. When flooding of the land occurs – perhaps twice every ten years, visitors will have privileged viewing of the flooded bushland from the walkway.
