Mount Gambier’s landmark Lady Nelson site is set to be repurposed as the City Council makes changes to its visitor servicing model.
Mount Gambier City Council will begin to implement a ‘hub and spoke’ visitor servicing model from this month. The concept involves a Visitor Centre Hub to be located at the main corner entrance of the Riddoch building on Commercial Street, with spoke sites at Engelbrecht Cave, Umpherston Sinkhole and the Blue Lake Welcome Centre – which are all currently empty.
Council has announced that changes to the service model means that the current visitor centre at the Lady Nelson site will be repurposed, aligned with the Community Land Management Plan.
Council is currently preparing a call out for Expressions of Interest (EOI) to seek community activation of the site, with a view to house the city’s creative industries and/or historic collections.
