Museum gets $500,000 boost

The new museum in Invercargill has been given another funding boost of $500,000 from the ILT, bringing the organisation’s total funding commitment to $1 million.

ILT Group announced funding support of $500,000 for the project to rebuild Invercargill’s museum in April.

The project, dubbed Project 1225 to reflect the council’s intention to deliver the base build of the new museum by December 2025, also includes the building of a collection storage facility in Tisbury and a dedicated tuatara facility in Queens Park.
