BUILDING FRAMEWORK GOES UP AT TAMWORTH’S NEW ASTRONOMY CENTRE

Work is continuing at Tamworth’s $1.8-million Astronomy Centre.

The centre, which is on-track for completion in October, will include an observatory, roof telescopes, planetarium and education space.

Construction kicked off at the beginning of the pandemic – creating hundreds of jobs.

“I think it has huge potential to bring tourism into Tamworth and also provide an education facility for a lot of our students.”

The complex will also become the official home to the city’s growing Astronomy Club.
