Burke Museum Temporary Storage

In addition to the town hall works, important roof conservation works will also begin at the Burke Museum, funded by Council.

Part of this project will involve installing a shipping container at the Burke Museum carpark to help staff continue their operations while the conservation projects are underway.

The climate-controlled container will sit near the electric vehicle chargers for up to 18 months, housing selected collection items suitable for this type of storage.

The temporary setup will allow Collections Management officers to maintain daily preservation work. By running both conservation projects together, the museum can continue operating its exhibitions, programs and tours with minimal disruption.

The container's location next to the museum ensures staff can easily monitor and care for the temporarily relocated items. While it will occupy some parking spaces, access to the electric vehicle chargers and the rest of the carpark remains unaffected.
