The country's largest living coral aquarium and national centre of reef education has been thrown a lifeline with the reallocation of $100 million in federal funding.
Australia's national reef education centre , boasting the country's largest living coral reef exhibit, has been thrown a $100 million lifeline. Townsville City Council reallocated $100 million for a new concert hall to fund the reef project.
That project was initially expected to cost $80 million and was set to include a new facade and roof, among other works. "It's disappointing that the federal government are making us decide between Reef HQ and the concert hall," Cr Liam Mooney said. The decision to reallocate funds was made by council after they requested the federal government release the concert hall's business case study.
