Liverpool Weir, Heritage weir in Liverpool, Australia.
The Liverpool Weir spans across the Georges River, constructed with stone masonry and timber work near the intersection of Heathcote and Newbridge Roads.
David Lennox designed this engineering structure in 1836, employing convict labor under Captain William Christie's supervision to create water supply infrastructure.
The Georges River area was originally inhabited by the Darug, Tharawal, and Gandangara peoples who used the waterway for transport and communication.
Visitors can access the weir through Lighthorse Park or via the eastern entrance point along Newbridge Road while exploring the historical structure.
The weir raised water levels by two meters, forming the river's tidal limit and transforming previously unused land into valuable agricultural territory.
