What is the project?
The department's Round 2 funded projects list describes it this way:
The project will extend the initial structure built during Stage 1 at the Sandy Creek Bore Station to become a fully operational cultural centre building that will provide a multi-purpose facility for cultural preservation, community gatherings, and tourism development. Key activities include the construction of a museum, gallery, archives for Olkola artefacts, office space for the Olkola Aboriginal Corporation, and a community hub.
Applicant, location, state and funding are also from that list (page 8).
