The idea
Explore a wider heritage interpretation trail with accessible storytelling, carefully located signs and digital experiences. The idea is to extend the visitor experience, not to change the park’s formal heritage boundaries.
- Bring more of the park’s layered histories into the visitor experience.
- Develop interpretation with Traditional Custodians and heritage specialists.
- Offer accessible formats, places to pause and clear connections between stories.
From idea to possibility
- Community idea
- Review
- Approval
- Funding
- Delivery
Heritage scope, cultural consultation, locations, accessibility and ongoing care all need assessment. No approvals or funding commitments are claimed.
Support counts express interest; they do not determine approval. The appropriate authorities, Traditional Custodians and specialists would need to be involved.
What could it cost?
Illustrative planning range: A$280,000–420,000. The example below uses A$350,000 to show how a transparent budget could be presented.
| Budget component | Example allowance |
|---|---|
| Consultation & heritage planning | A$70,000 |
| Interpretation & digital content | A$100,000 |
| Wayfinding & installation | A$110,000 |
| Contingency & initial care | A$70,000 |
| Illustrative total | A$350,000 |
Not a quote or official estimate. Professional costing would confirm scope, maintenance costs and contingency.
A shared funding ambition
A possible mix of public funding, Australian brand partnerships and community contributions.
Potential contribution to explore with relevant authorities.
Heritage project partner: Funding for interpretation, accessible content and installation.
A possible public contribution after the project and fundraising arrangements are ready.
This is a funding scenario, not money raised. Cash received, signed commitments and in-kind support would be reported separately.
Who is backing this idea?
Each confirmed partner will appear with its contribution type, amount where publishable, and commitment status.
The next steps
A wider heritage experience is proposed for community discussion.
Seek input on the stories, access needs and locations that matter.
Concept milestones, not official delivery updates.
