Plans for Landsborough Museum’s Street Festival on Saturday May 13 are well underway as museum officers alongside Landsborough and District Historical Society volunteers have been busily sprucing up the space with a marvellous makeover ahead of the community family fun day.
In November 2021, Council accepted donation of the Landsborough Museum community collection from the Landsborough and District Historical Society, and in May last year the museum was formally handed over to Council to manage and operate, with recognition of the ongoing role of the Historical Society who will mark their 50-year anniversary celebrations at the Street Festival.
Museum Officer Hayley Rowan said over the last six months, works have been underway to restore the Heritage listed 1924 Landsborough Council Chambers in the lead up the Street Party, and everyone involved has been excited about revitalising the museum.
“Works have included removal of intrusive walls to open the front of the chambers back up and new flooring including an outline of where the original offices were located,” said Hayley.
Other revamps to the museum space have included a new area for the historical society. The museum is still open during renovations from Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 3pm and entry is free. 4 Maleny Street, Landsborough.
