HERITAGE AWARD WIN
"The Shire of Leonora have not let their remote location stop them from tackling big projects. The completion of the five-year $3.3 million Gwalia Upgrade Project is their biggest heritage achievement to date.
The project aimed to deliver an ambitious works program at Gwalia, including the conservation of Gwalia's Historical Precinct, Museum and Hoover House, reconstruction of the historic timberheadframe and preservation of the Gwalia settlement's 22 traditional miners' cottages.
The judges believe the completion of this conservation work ensures Gwalia's place as an important heritage and tourist destination in the future."
-Hon David Templeman - MLA MINISTER FOR HERITAGE.
