EXPANSION works of the Fig Tree Galleries in Yeppoon are reportedly progressing well, with construction underway on the new art gallery building.
The expansion and upgrades of the Fig Tree Galleries, formerly known as the Mill Gallery on Normanby St, were made possible after Livingstone Shire Council received $250,000 in funding through Round 4 of the Queensland Government’s Building our Regions program.
The project was also supported by $850,000 from Livingstone Shire Council, bringing total funding to $1.1 million. Concept image of the Fig Tree Galleries expansion. Picture: Design + Architect
The construction contract for the new gallery building was awarded to a local contractor and is expected to be completed by May 2021.
