The long awaited construction of Goulburn's new Rocky Hill Museum, begins in January.

 

Work is being co-funded by the Federal government's Building Better Regions Fund and the Goulburn Mulwaree Council.

 

Mayor, Bob Kirk is excited by the project, given that when completed, it will allow for larger exhibitions and accommodating touring shows.

 

He says it is important that the work proceed in light of the fact that 25,000 people visit Rocky Hill each year.

 

Federal member, Angus Taylor agrees that the museum is set to become an even bigger tourist drawcard.

 

He says this capacity will come from the increased exhibition space and added storage and education facilities.
