The Town’s dock located on Melville Street is now open for public use. This reopening aims to provide residents and visitors with a functional waterfront area.
"The reopening of the Melville Street Dock reflects Council’s commitment to enhancing the community and visitor experience," said Lord Mayor Gary Zalepa. "This waterfront area is now available for public use and will serve as a place for recreation and relaxation."
