I the undersigned state that I am in favour of an Acland Heritage Precinct being established at the Jondaryan Woolshed. I urge all parties involved in the decision making process in regard to the above to choose this location. I believe that the two entities have a historical connection and that this connection should continue into the future. I advocate for the precinct to include a number of buildings of historical value, including the Coal Museum, Original School Building, Public Hall and a limited number of other buildings/monuments/items of historical significance to be a part of the above-mentioned precinct. Members of the community have collected a rich collection of Historical documents and artefacts in the past. I believe this collection should be respected and displayed appropriately. Furthermore I believe that the Jondaryan Woolshed is an appropriate location for the collection to be displayed, as it would bring together a large and rich resource depicting the mining and wool industries which have helped shape this part of the Darling Downs. I believe that combining the historical elements of both industries would not only be a fitting decision, respecting the founders of the local area but also benefit the ratepayers of the Toowoomba Regional Council through enhancing an already popular tourism attraction.

Keep our history alive and in one place. Moving these buildings to the woolshed makes perfect sense for tourism and keeping the stories of our area alive for the kids.

The artifacts deserve a proper home. Jondaryan is the perfect spot for it.
