The federal government has awarded Parks Victoria a $399,000 heritage grant for the conservation and improvement of interpretation and access to the northern section of the Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage Park.
The funding will improve future visitor experiences throughout the northern section of the park; focusing on improved access for all visitors and enhanced site interpretation to help people learn more about the area’s gold mining history.
Project components will include access improvements to parking, trails, and directional signage; interpretive signage at key sites, including Garfield Wheel; and interpretive signage on walking tracks to allow people to learn more about the park on self-guided site walks.
