DEMOLITION of the former GrainCorp site in Swan Hill has begun.
Workers have been onsite in the past fortnight clearing the Monash Drive site, including the brick worker’s office.
The silos will be demolished within the next month before the area is opened and future development can begin.
Just one silo will remain and the pitched roof shed to repurpose, opposite Riverside Park.
Mayor Jade Benham previously said clearing the former GrainCorp site within the Swan Hill riverfront precinct would provide a long-awaited opportunity to activate a key part of the riverfront precinct.
“It is anticipated that this important step will assist in attracting new and varied commercial investment opportunities, shaping a strong, diversified and sustainable regional economy for our region,” she said.
The GrainCorp site was first identified as a key location for future development by the community during the consultation of the 2013 Swan Hill riverfront masterplan.
