2017: Goulburn Weir awarded international heritage status

In 2017, Goulburn Weir was awarded international heritage stature from the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage.

The weir was completed in 1891 and is Australia’s oldest major irrigation structure.

More than 130 years later, the weir remains a crucial piece of GMW’s delivery infrastructure.

Despite the weir undergoing various upgrades over the years, much consideration has been given to preserving some of its historical aspects, including two of the original iron gates along with the adjacent turbine house.
