It was supposed to be a 'globally significant' cultural institution, but five years after an Aboriginal art gallery was first promised, the project remains on hold.
abc.net.au/news/tarrakarri-project-on-hold-in-adelaide/102347962It was supposed to be a "globally significant" cultural institution drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors per year.
was how then South Australian premier Steven Marshall pitched the project when construction got underway in late 2021. It would also allow tens of thousands of artefacts, which have sat in storage for decades, to be put on display.So, what happened?Some site work was done, but the North Terrace land is still largely just a dirt hole 18 months later.
The trio was tasked with finding out how much extra funding was needed to make Tarrkarri a globally recognisable centre capable of drawing in overseas tourists.It was handed to the government last month, but it has not yet been publicly released, and the government is still being tight-lipped about when that will happen.
Premier Peter Malinauskas says the cost of the project could blow out to $600 million if it goes ahead. More money could also come by getting the federal government to up its $85 million contribution to the project. Mr Malinauskas has even opened the door to philanthropic or private investment to bring Tarrkarri to life.
