The concept development follows the council’s adoption in 2015 of a master plan for the Murray River foreshore between the Henry Street boat ramp and Murray Leisure Centre.
“The master plan was prepared with extensive consultation with the community and was intended to provide a high level framework to guide future action with the foreshore area,’’ Mr Unsworth said.
