Successful conservation works on the Penitentiary, winning two national tourism awards and strong visitation growth across its sites, were just three highlights of a busy year for the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority (PAHSMA).
The results were recorded in the Authority’s Annual Report for 2014-15, which has been tabled in State Parliament.
Other achievements included establishing a sales and information outlet at Brooke St Pier, a sound financial result, a successful volunteer partnership with Community Volunteers Australia at the Coal Mines, a visit by the Chinese Foreign Affairs Minister, further strengthening of the relationship between PAHSMA and the Dunhuang Academy in China, and conservation works on the Matron’s Quarters at the Cascades Female Factory.
