Community celebrates restoration works of iconic Hermannsburg Historic Precinct Tourism drive campaign - nothing like your normal road trip Brolga Northern Territory AwardsBrolga Northern Territory Awards www.brolgaawards.com.auwww.brolgaawards.com.au Nominations Now OpenNominations Now Open The Brolga Northern Territory Tourism Awards (Brolga Awards) are the official tourism awards program for the Northern Territory. The Brolga Awards recognise and encourage tourism businesses that strive for excellence in every area of their operation. e Hermannsburg community has welcomed the completion of the rst stage of restoration works to iconic heritage area, the Hermannsburg Historic Precinct at a community launch this month. Stage one upgrades to the Hermannsburg Historic Precinct included a $1.4 million investment from the Northern Territory Government, with Alice Springs building company Nicholl Constructions undertaking the major refurbishment and landscaping works. e upgrades are part of the Territory Governments $3.5 million Turbocharging Tourism investment to deliver muchneeded restoration works at the historical precinct, established by Lutheran missionaries in 1877. e signi cant refurbishment works were undertaken on nine of the existing 16 buildings within the heritage site, including stonework restoration, timbers and roo ng renewal and utility upgrades. Landscaping upgrades have enabled better visitor movement around the precinct with the works including the re-establishment of a small section of the market garden which existed in the late 1800s. Completion of the Stage one upgrades follows salt extraction works that were completed in 2019 by heritage stonemasons, Centralian Masonry. With three Hermannsburg locals on board, the Alice Springs company extracted salt that was causing the stonework, bricks and mortar to decay. Another aspect of restoring the Precinct has been the development of a contemporary interpretation design plan by Navin O cer Heritage Consultants (NOHC) in partnership with the Australian Government. NOHC is regarded as a national expert in heritage interpretation and will capture the rich history and stories of the Lutheran Mission and the local Arrernte people. e display materials better narrate the story of the Precinct, and include visual materials, website redesign, improvements to social media and brochures including signage and a new logo. e restoration of the Precinct aims to increase visitation and participation by tourists and the local community, through new experiences and activities in restored, conserved, and new exhibits.
