GMW offices hit the market
1 min read

GOULBURN Murray Water has put its former Pyramid Hill office and depot on the market.
Almost a year after GMW officially ended its presence in the town, citing low numbers of people going to the office since COVID and organisational efficiency, the Barber Street site has been listed by Kerang real estate agent Graeme Hayes this week.
Mr Hayes said expressions of interest for the property would close on May 8.
The town’s historical society held talks with GMW last July and gained support for the vision from local leaders and MP Peter Walsh to acquire the site for expansion of its history displays. 
Society plans would see historic agricultural machinery taken from storage at Mitchell Park and incorporated in the new museum and interpretive site showcasing five key eras of the region’s history. Society president Alan Mann said five key themes of the centre would be indigenous history, early white settlement, beginnings of irrigation in Australia and Goulburn Murray Water, Mawson’s granite quarries and the industrial history of Pyramid Hill and districts including the butter factory, agricultural inventions, and its booming modern livestock and cropping industries.
Mr Walsh had said: ““If there is any regional community which can be guaranteed to punch above its weight, Pyramid Hill would be the gold medal contender.
“I will be supporting every step of this project as it moves forward, I will go into bat with its negotiations to secure the GMW site as its future home and I will be its voice on the floor of the Victorian Parliament and with the relevant departments whenever necessary.”
