Vintage cars once owned by royalty are expected to be on display when Australia’s biggest car museum opens, after the idea was ditched in a different south-east Queensland council area.
The Somerset region will be home to Australia’s biggest car museum, after the council approved a development application by controversial businessman Clive Palmer.
That would make it Australia’s largest car museum, eclipsing the National Motor Museum in Birdwood, South Australia, which houses almost 300 cars. The proposed site plan for the Patrick Estate Car Museum, Clive Palmer’s latest project, which has been approved by the Somerset Regional Council. A traffic impact assessment report shows an open-air car parking area with 360 spaces for cars and bus parking, with 100,000 visitors a year expected to visit the seven-day museum.The Somerset area’s “remoteness from the coastline” would ensure protection from salty air, and preserve the health and longevity of vintage vehicles, the report by BDO EconSearch noted.
