New operator announced for Wimmera River Pedal Boats tourism offering
Horsham Rural City Council has appointed private entity, The Boat House, to operate the Wimmera River Pedal Boats.
The Boat House has been managing the boats near Horsham City Rowing Club throughout the holiday period, with the new activity proving popular among locals and visitors alike.
In addition to pedal boats, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards are available for hire every day throughout January.
The acquisition of 10 pedal boats, life jackets, timers, and a purpose-built trailer was made possible through the previous Victorian Government's Pick My Project scheme.
Chief Executive Craig Niemann enthused "The Boat House's involvement now provides a fantastic tourism offering for the Wimmera River, complementing recent developments such as the Nature Play Park and the riverfront activation project.
"The addition of pedal boats will introduce a fun activity for families and friends to enjoy on the water. They will offer more ways for residents and visitors to experience our riverfront."
The two-seater boats are available for hire at $20 for 30 minutes.
