Grant Activity:
Australian Opal Centre A nationally significant regional facility
Purpose:
The project will construct a new Australian Opal Centre (AOC) as an energy efficient, two-storey cultural hub for opal-related knowledge, certification, education, training and art.
The new Australian Opal Centre (AOC) is a nationally significant facility at Lightning Ridge, western NSW - an international tourist attraction and world hub for opal-related knowledge, certification, education, training, research, heritage, arts and travel. This catalytic project will produce far-reaching benefits in the visitor economy and through local and regional economic and cultural development.
The new off-grid AOC building, designed by world-renowned Australian architects Murcutt + Lewin, will itself be a celebrated architectural icon and model for energy-efficient design in semi-arid Australia.
