ORDINARY COUNCIL MINUTES – 15 DECEMBER 2010 77 14.0 TOURISM, RECREATION AND CULTURE REPORT 14.1 SHARK BAY WORLD HERITAGE DISCOVERY & VISITOR CENTRE FORECOURT Author Manager Shark Bay World Heritage Discovery & Visitor Centre Disclosure of Any Interest Declaration of Interest: Cr Hanscombe Nature of Interest: Proximity Interest as has a Business next Door Cr Hanscombe left the meeting at 1.40pm Moved Seconded Cr Hargreaves Cr Ridgley Council Resolution That Council approve the placement of the ‘Velsheda” in the forecourt of the Shark Bay World Heritage Discovery and Visitor Centre. 6/0 CARRIED Background Shark Bay World Heritage Discovery and Visitor Centre was constructed to celebrate the region’s inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage list and to recognize Shark Bay’s significant history, including maritime history. The museum houses many artefacts associated with maritime exploration and the fishing, pearling and pastoral industries. The Velsheda has an extensive history as the Hoult’s “pride of the fleet” working in all three industries. It is currently housed in the Shire Works Depot having been renovated for the purpose of display in 2002. The forecourt of the Discovery and Visitor Centre has recently undergone an upgrade and is soon to have a significant memorial to the HMAS Sydney II added. The addition of the Velsheda would make a significant contribution to the visual impact on potential visitors to the Centre. The relocation is also in keeping with plans to further recognise Shark Bay’s maritime history with the celebration of the four hundred (400) year anniversary of Dirk Hartog’s landing. The vessel could be protected from vandalism and the southerly winds by the construction of a clear polycarbonate fence. Lighting and signage would also be required. The location proposed is against the northern wall of the adjoining property with the stern of the vessel approximately one metre forward of the façade of the Discovery and Visitor Centre. Legal Implications NIL
