Manningham Council’s decision to proceed with a $3.55 million facility, despite officers' recommendations to discontinue the project due to rising costs, is now paying off. On Wednesday, December 4, prefabricated blocks arrived on-site, and by Friday night, the building was already standing!
Scheduled for completion in 2025, the new modular facility will serve the Doncaster Templestowe Historical Society and other community groups. It will significantly enhance the volunteer-run operations, offer better facilities for preserving the Society’s collection, and provide improved accommodations for school visits.
The Schramm’s Cottage Visitor Centre will feature:
- An exhibition space
- A meeting room
- Offices
- Public toilets
- A kitchen
- An accessible pathway connecting to Schramm’s Cottage
The project aims to provide a more accessible and functional space for community use, while highlighting the historical significance of Schramms Cottage.
