24.01.2022 The Armidale Transport Museum has displayed the new building plans at the Armidale Regional Airport.

13.01.2022 The paint was not even dry on the $6.5 million funding announcement giving the Armidale Regional Airport Business Park the go ahead, before secretary of the Australian Transport Museum Ltd, Eric North, had whipped out his plans for the museum's new building. For Eric, to see the place in the park for the museum's construction has been a decade-long project, and it is now well and truly planned out. We've got access to an enormous number of vehicles in this area. Eric North "C...ouncil are going to go ahead with the estate and they've allocated us an area of land just on the southern side of what is proposed to be the service centre," he said. "We're going to build a very nice building there, which we expect will enhance the tourist potential of this city enormously. We expect 10 to 15 thousand extra people could come to town simply just for the museum. "We're going to have a whole variety of stuff in the museum, from veteran cars going back to the turn of the [last] century, horse drawn vehicles that come from around this area up to modern performance vehicles." He said exhibits would be rotated and themes could be used for exhibits, such as cars used in movies and television. "We've got enough to put on a pre-1930s display or a muscle car display, all these sorts of things that are going to attract people to the area," he said. "There is also going to be an area where things other than motoring are displayed. So, all in all it's going to be a very exciting proposition."
