"Our vision is for Telstra Tower to be an iconic, world-class venue that celebrates and embraces both the Ngunnawal culture and the role the tower has played in the history of telecommunications in Australia." Other attractions could include "community engagement activities", such as market gardens, bush tucker programs, exhibitions, truth-telling opportunities and cultural demonstrations by the Ngunnawal people."We're currently considering next steps on bringing this vision to life."
"We think it could be a great opportunity to showcase Ngunnawal culture and share it with the Canberra community," she said.The ABC has been told a target date for reopening the tower is 2025, although Telstra declined to confirm this. Telstra Tower can be viewed from many parts of Canberra and from surrounding areas of New South Wales.
