Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation to ‘reimagine’ the future of

commercial opportunities, cultural education and training programs that may be
available in the future. As part of this project, there are also building
upgrades and refurbishments that require the Cultural Centre to be closed
during 2024-25. However, the park information centre, gift shop and self-guided
