A tourism centre where people can learn about Wiradjuri culture in the area, a museum for councils many aboriginal artifacts and objects to be put on display
0 comment2R McLachlanover 2 years agoA Performing Arts Centre
The centre would be used to workshop, teach, rehearse and present various genres of the performing arts including, but not limited to, theatre, music, dance and film. A special feature of the centre could be the teaching and performance of performing arts of the Wiradjuri community. The centre would aim to serve not only the BRC but also the wider Central West.

a permanent space for legal servics to be made available to the community, particularly for DV and sexual assault maters
0 comment1Peter Hodgsonover 2 years agoCultural and Performance Arts Centre
Through a combination of commercial and cultural activities the building has the potential to attract more people, both residents and visitors, into the Town Square. It would be a shame for Bathurst to lose the magnificent performance space that could be made available for a range of events by the Mitchell Conservatorium, CSU, schools and community groups such as the Eisteddfod and theatrical societies. The former museum spaces might be used for a Wiradjuri Heritage Museum.
0 comment4Christopher Percivalover 2 years agoREUSE OF THE OILD 'TAFE BUILDING
The old TAFE building would make a logical extension for the many items that cannot be displayed by the Minerals & Fossils Museum. They don't have to occupy the whole of the building to be of inestimable benefit to the Museum and what is left unused by them can be used for other purposes. The large room upstairs is ideal for use as a performance space. The Mechanics extension should be demolished to create an open space that could be used for a wide variety of purposes. The advantage of this plan is that the old building doesn't have to be worked as a whole but as funds are available. There should be no additional buildings placed in this space. To do so would make null & void the block surrounded by George, Howick, William & Russel Streets as a public square. By definition a Town Square is an open public space. Using the TAFE building in the way suggested would only enhance the Fossils Museum as museum but would increase its' appeal as a tourist destination for Bathurst.
