The Dubbo Region is welcoming several exciting new additions. These amazing tourism attractions will showcase Dubbo’s natural, cultural and heritage assets to enhance our tourism experience and share more of Dubbo's unique story with Australia and the world.

Dubbo Wiradjuri Tourism Centre

The Dubbo Wiradjuri Tourism Experience will be a source of cultural learning for visitors to our region. The facility will provide opportunity for the original custodians of the land to tell their story, and share the story of Wiradjuri. The experience will include an art gallery and museum space, yarning circles, dedicated cultural performance areas and trails linking the centre to the Wiradjuri Gardens of Elizabeth Park. A cafe featuring local produce and indigenous inspired flavour were entice and offer sanctuary to celebrate culture.

The public Plaza green space is being created in the centre of Dubbo. The Plaza will offer an open area for all to enjoy, from Macquarie Street to the state heritage listed Old Dubbo Gaol in the heart of Dubbo’s CBD. The Plaza will provide exposure for the Gaols gatehouse entrance, and Gaoll wall as well as the ornate Post Office colonnade and its iconic clock tower, creating a unique civic space in Dubbos justice precinct. A large-scale, unique kinetic artwork will join the neighbouring buildings facade. The theme for the artwork is ‘community, country, connection: finding common ground’. Reclamation and development of a public heritage Plaza at Old Dubbo Gaol will contribute to creating a year-round destination for visitation based on an improved and culturally rewarding visitor experience.
