The CLP Government has released a new masterplan for the ANZAC Oval Precinct in Alice Springs, which will see the proposed and long-delayed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Gallery of Australia reduced in size from previous designs to save on costs, with the oval to be reinstated as a rugby field.
The Finocchiaro Government paused the demolition of ANZAC Oval in September, which the Labor government had intended to be the site of the art gallery, but had faced pushback for years from traditional owners and other community groups.
After 8 years of dithering by Labor Alice might finally see an art gallery. Hurrah iconic ANZAC oval is saved and best yet residents won’t have to look at a WW2 Berlin flak tower at the end of Todd Street.
