Cash boost for visitor centre

Bunbury Visitor Centre is set to be transformed after its successful bid for State Government funding.

The centre will get a new fit-out and touch screen technology under the Regional Visitor Centre Sustainability Grant Program.

Regional Development Minister Alannah MacTiernan said the grants helped visitor centres improve sustainability.

“Regional visitor centres provide important local knowledge for visitors to WA, whose spending generates job opportunities for local people,” Ms MacTiernan said.

“With a changing tourism environment and the influence of online booking, this program has helped to make significant changes in the way WA regional visitor centres operate.”
