The Australian Road Transport Heritage Centre has found a new home in Gundagai. The
museum was to be established in Tarcutta, but unfortunately for the village a new site
has been chosen at Gundagai. After many frustrating years for the committee trying to
get the project off the ground at Tarcutta, the decision was made to explore Gundagai
as an option. The Gundagai Shire council was very excited by the concept and have
been very proactive with the committee – a lot has been achieved in a very small period
of time in Gundagai.
The new proposed site is 2 Middle Street Gundagai, with construction to commence
once the purchase of the land is complete.
Whilst this is disappointing for Tarcutta, there were a few factors that led to the move
including development application requirements and ensuring enough volunteer staff to
man the museum once open.
Gundagai council requirements have been a lot more flexible and the larger population
base ensures more volunteers are available to open the museum on a daily basis.
