Emerald Botantic Gardens

Need the stories of the history of the gardens and the everything there

Capella Cultural Centre billboard (at town entrance when driving from Emerald) - needs repair, currently falling down

While you are at it, it might be worth looking at the other signs in the area - all entrances. Do they paint the best first impression of our wonderful towns. Can any be updated, removed, combined, etc.

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

Crazy Art Space

Once a year have a week long facilitated art project that is fully funded, free to participate in and open to all. Each year would be a different medium and, although there would be guidelines, people could add to the massive art piece as little, or as much, as they would like to. The art piece would stay on display until the next year, when it would then be auctioned as the next project begins.

Workshops

Design and design programs

Children's Musical Instrument Workshops- from landfill to music

Workshops teaching children that they can make musical instruments out of pretty much anything. Syphons, bottles, cans, pieces of plastic, wood, rubber, tin, etc. Making music and performing at a local event....say the Gemfields Folk Festival or the proposed annual Community Arts Festival would be a highlight for all involved!
