Australia's Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park to get AU$12m revamp
Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park, owned by Indigenous Business Australia, is to get an AU$12m (US$12.4m, 9.2m euro, £7.9m) makeover as optimism in the Queensland tourism industry keeps growing.
Beginning March, the first stage of the one-year development will include a revamp of the Cultural Village, to be overseen by architects Toland and which includes a new dance theatre, boomerang and spear throwing fields and activity huts.
The Cultural Village will be completed in May and will host new day and night products, with performances to be developed by Ozworks Entertainment.
The second stage of the project will see a new restaurant, theatres and room for displays.
Along with the park's redevelopment, Cummins Ross will work with owners to refresh the attraction's brand.
Chief executive Geoff Olson said the improved attraction would tell the stories of multiple indigenous groups, as well as the local Djabugay people.
