With COVID-19 restrictions easing, from Friday up to 20 visitors at a time will be allowed to enjoy the upgraded attraction and that number is expected to increase in the coming weeks, following the further easing of restrictions.
The upgrade involved the installation of new, state-of-the-art interactive displays, audio-visual equipment and lighting, the construction of new internal and external entrances, and landscaping work.
The revitalisation works were made possible thanks to $1.23 million funding from the Department of Innovation and Tourism Industry Development through the Outback Tourism Infrastructure Fund, and $150,000 from the North West Minerals Province Economic Transition Strategy.
Funding is provided under the auspices of the North West Minerals Province Strategic Blueprint with the objective of maturing the tourism infrastructure pipeline in North West Queensland.
Members of the Riversleigh World Heritage Area Committee also provided invaluable information that assisted with the development of the Centre upgrade.
