Waltzing Matilda Centre Reconstruction
About Project
Winton, QLD
AGC is proud to have been engaged by Winton Shire Council to rebuild one of Outback Australia’s most iconic cultural landmarks: the Waltzing Matilda Centre in Winton. After a devastating 2015 fire destroyed the original museum, AGC reconstructed the interpretive centre to include a café, offices, and display spaces, paying tribute to Banjo Paterson’s legendary bush ballad.
Key Features
- $15.8 million project delivered within 12 months
- Reinforced concrete walls, glazing panels & metal roofing
- Fire-rated plasterboard interiors ensuring resilience
- Integration of surviving elements to preserve historical significance
- Partnering with Boral Townsville to reengineer the concrete composition, eliminating horizontal joints to enhance structural integrity in a harsh climate and poor soil conditions.
This world-class facility meets international museum standards, demonstrating AGC’s quality and construction capabilities, even in the harshest Outback environments!
