Article Alert: News about the Proposed Glenrowan Interpretive Centre

Here are the highlights of an article from the Wangaratta Chronicle at the NE News website (no permalink available)..


Kelly Centre Moves



Moves to establish a Ned Kelly related tourism attraction of national significance in Glenrowan are under way.

The Rural City of Wangaratta has invited tenders for a re-scoping study of the Ned Kelly Interpretive Centre.
The idea of creating an interpretive centre was last looked at in 2003, with the estimated price tag coming in at more than $10 million.
This time around council is looking to see if the price tag can be reduced and if it's possible to engage other stakeholders.
Council's economic development manager, Graham Nickless, said the re-scoping study would investigate whether the interpretive centre could incorporate other attractions in the region, including Winton Wetlands.
"The landscape has changed a lot since 2003 with the creation of Winton Wetlands and the Warby Ovens National Park," he said.
"We want to investigate whether other stakeholders have an interest in the facility.
"It needs to be something of national significance, but scaled to a size that is more achievable....."

  2. The council was accepting tenders for the re-scoping study contract up until Sept. 28, 2011, but I cannot find any information so far as to whom it was awarded. I will certainly keep my eyes open for any further information to share.
