MGB Merri River Water Level Gauge Board

Active Gauge Board Stanley Street, Warrnambool

Gauge board was historically located on the retaining wall downstream of the Stanley Street Bridge, but this was removed in 2023/24 when the bridge was rebuilt. 

A new gauge board is now located with the Merri River Telemetry Station, owned and operated by the CMA, which is located 100m upstream of M1 Stanley Street Bridge, on the left/east bank, accessed via the W'bool to Pt Fairy Rail trail walking path.

Safety Notes:

  • Beware of snakes, as likely habitat surrounds the site, please take care
  • Slippery bank; be careful approaching the bank when viewing the gauge board; take readings from the upper bank
  • Tree canopy; take care of overhanging branches and limbs, particularly on a windy day.

Gauge board can be viewed from the Stanley Street pedestrian bridge.
