SIGNIFICANT steps are being taken for Naracoorte to house a permanent and public display of historic fire-fighting vehicles, CFS uniforms, photographs and other memorabilia from all parts of SA.
If all goes to plan, a purpose-built pavilion for the State museum costing about $250,000 will be erected in the grounds of the Sheep’s Back Museum in MacDonnell St.
In-principle agreement for such a development has recently been struck between the Naracoorte National Trust branch (owners of the Sheep’s Back Museum), and the SA Volunteer Fire Fighters Museum Incorporated.
The next stage of the proposal is to develop a business plan and detailed drawings which are agreeable to the two organisations.
The drawings must also comply with the regulatory requirements of Naracoorte Lucindale Council.
