New Stanthorpe Art Gallery and Library Precinct Opens

Dept of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications

The revamped Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery and Library precinct was officially opened today.

A plaque unveiling ceremony was attended by Assistant Minister for Regional Development Anthony Chisholm, marking a significant milestone for the region's thriving arts community.

Stanthorpe's newly expanded, state-of-the art creative hub boasts more space, enhanced services, modern fit-out and improved fire safety for millions of dollars of artwork and books.

It created 37 jobs during construction, as well as another two ongoing jobs.

The $7.96 million Stanthorpe Art Gallery and Library Expansion project received $2 million in funding from the Australian Government, with Southern Downs Regional Council contributing the remainder.
