Founders Heritage Park has had a record number of summer visitors this year with more than 300 people visiting every day over the last two weeks.
And the trend looks set to continue with lots of exciting new attractions for 2015, including a new display at the Motor Garage.
Proposals are currently being sought for a new tenant to take on the lease at the Motor Garage from April 2015. Founders Heritage Park facility manager, Maria Anderson, says the park is looking for a tenant who can make the most of the workshop and display room that is available.
“To see this part of the park being better utilised, offering visitors the opportunity to view an old motor or machinery collection as well as the process of renovation would be the perfect fit.”
She says it’s a good time to be involved in the park. “There is a real buzz about the place. With the new Hop and Beer Museum receiving national profile, the cafe and brewery [busy] and the Nelson Railway Society running trains daily, and the gardens are looking their best with a new herbaceous border in front of Duncan House, and orchard.
The lease is worth $5000 per annum +GST. If you are interested in this lease, please send a simple one page proposal to maria.anderson@ncc.govt.nz before the end of the January.
