Emerald Tourism Precinct

Incorporation of Interpretive signage telling the "Emerald" Story with the daily opening of the Pioneer Village to allow tourists to visit the cottages and their exhibits. The precinct should also incorporate new off street parking beside the Visitor Information Center to allow for caravan ease of access and turning, also picnic table and grassed areas for picnics etc.to encourage travelers to stop and explore what the region has to offer by visiting the Visitor Information Center

Emerald Arts & Culture Area behind Emerald Town Library

Would like to see improved signage to and within the area for all spaces, lighting for the evenings, and possibly ability to hire/borrow chairs, picnic rugs, easels etc to promote usage of the space by individuals and families.

Venue where assorted artists can exhibit their work on a rotational basis.

Something for each town

Something in each centre no matter how big or small. Something to embrace, use and celebrate. Where possible build and improve on what is already there. Engage and connect people and share spaces.

Dedicated performing arts space.

A theatre with tiered seating that can be used for dance and music concerts, dance and music eisteddfod, musicals and plays etc.
