Mundaring Weir interpretation precinct takes shape

During the site selection process for the Mundaring Water Treatment Plant, we committed to the establishment of a water interpretive facility in Mundaring.  With Mundaring stakeholder input this facility has progressed into an Interpretation Precinct. The objective is to enhance the Mundaring Weir area as a visitor destination through interpreting the story of water and the theme WA was settled and developed as a result of innovative engineering, ingenuity and brave decision makers.

Such is the legacy of Mundaring Weir.  The intention is to celebrate this theme by enhancing and linking existing attractions, providing a cohesive experience for visitors to the Weir Precinct.

To achieve this, two precinct hubs will be developed. These hubs form the major sites where visitors are invited to explore and learn further while picnicking with family and friends.

Connected to the hubs are trails enhanced with interpretive nodes.  Different stories related to the Weir will be explored at each node through the use of attractive signage, art works, salvaged artefacts and public amenities.

To guide and orient visitors, gateways and entry statements will be developed that speak to the community's values. Overall improvements will be made to landscaping, public facilities, disability access, and parking.
