SOVEREIGN Hill’s upcoming Gold Pavilion development has received further funding from the State Government.<\/p>\n

The living museum has been allocated $500,000 from the Enabling Tourism Fund 2024 to create designs for a new entry precinct.<\/p>\n

Plans for the Gold Pavilion were first released as part of a master plan unveiled on Sovereign Hill’s 50th anniversary in 2020.<\/p>\n

The aim of the pavilion, to be built at the entrance to the outdoor museum, is to house a digital immersive Gold Vault experience, a Welcome to Country section, updated amenities and a retail set-up.<\/p>\n

Sovereign Hill Museums Association CEO Sara Quon welcomed the funding last week during a visit from the Member for Eureka Michaela Settle and the Member for Wendouree Juliana Addison.<\/p>\n

“With the support of this funding, our architectural design for the Gold Pavilion will come to life, featuring a revolutionary Gold Vault experience and a newly designed arrival and orientation zone,” said Ms Quon.<\/p>\n

“This investment will enable us to redefine visitor engagement and set a new standard in immersive, inclusive design predicted to attract up to 100,000 new visitors a year to Ballarat.”<\/p>\n

Member for Eureka Michaela Settle emphasised Sovereign Hill’s icon status, not only in Ballarat and Victoria, but across Australia.<\/p>\n

“It’s an iconic tourist destination and has been an important part of Ballarat for many years,” she said.<\/p>\n

“This funding will mean they can deliver a unique and exciting experience for kids and families for years to come.”<\/p>\n
