QVMAG Royal Park roof works to start next month
The City of Launceston will next month begin work on a $250,000 upgrade of the roof at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery’s Royal Park site.
The existing roof is nearing the end of its asset life and the project will involve the installation of a new roofing system designed to better handle stormwater.
The new roof system will be constructed over the western end of the building, allowing for the rationalisation of utility infrastructure currently housed on the roof, like air conditioning units.
The new roof has been designed in consultation with Heritage Tasmania, and is intended to blend sympathetically with the original architecture. The work is expected to take around four months to complete, and will involve the use of a crane.

Council readies $15m worth of accelerated capital works
The City of Launceston expects to roll out more than $15m worth of targeted infrastructure upgrades in the first quarter of 2021 as part of its five-year $40m Accelerated Capital Works Program.
The Accelerated Capital Works Program is an initiative of the City of Launceston’s Community Care and Recovery Package, Tasmania’s largest local government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over five years the program will bring forward a range of infrastructure upgrade and improvement projects across the municipality, aimed at sparking new economic activity and employment opportunities.
The program is designed to be agile, allowing the Council to bring forward necessary community projects, while also weighing demands on the local construction industry to ensure value for money.
