whittlesea's historical & arts precinct
The Whittlesea Township and City’s fascinating history has been ignored for too long. The City of Whittlesea Council has not established a museum to manage the enormous collection insufficiently stored in various locations. Environmental factors are destroying documents and natural disasters threaten the collection. Due to unavailable storage, the Whittlesea Historical Society has declined donated artefacts.
Additionally, generations have not had access to a local historical museum to discover life in the past, or to directly reference sources. The Victorian Curriculum website states, “Awareness of history is an essential characteristic of any society, and historical knowledge is fundamental to understanding ourselves and others.”
The Council’s Whittlesea Township tourism plans require sites to attract visitors. A Historical Museum and Railway Museum would be its greatest investments. Accessible most days of the year, they will generate local revenue and interest from the community, tourists, students, historians, artists, researchers, businesses. Note, many regional towns proudly showcase their museums.
There’s a demand for Whittlesea’s Historical & Arts Precinct with state-of-the art facilities to preserve, protect and promote the City’s history, arts, culture and cultural properties.
