Temporary closure of walkway across Goulburn Weir structure

Thursday 2 April, 2026

Goulburn-Murray Water (GMW) will temporarily close the walkway across the Goulburn Weir structure to the public from Tuesday 7 April 2026 to Tuesday 5 May 2026 while works and an inspection take place at the site.

The structure will be closed so that bulkheads and work platforms can be installed at the weir so that detailed inspections can be safely undertaken.

GMW Manager Storage Operations South Sam Wilkinson said it was important the public stayed clear of the structure during the closure period due to the increased operational activities.

"The weir will be an active work site and will not be safe for the public during this time," he said.

"It's important that people also stay clear of vehicles and equipment entering and exiting the area."

Mr Wilkinson said the inspection of the weir was a business-as-usual practice.

"These inspections take place every five years," he said.

"The inspections help ensure that this critical asset remains well-maintained and safe for the public and staff."

All other areas at the weir including recreational spaces will still be open to the public during the works period.
