The information sign on the corner of the Avenue and the entrance way to the Barracks has been relocated to it’s new site. This site is on the top side of the road closer to the entry and where there are newly added footpaths. The old site was in the grass on the slopes of the Lachlan River side of the entry way. This sign is also connected to the New Norfolk “Walking Through Time” Heritage Walking tours and audio podcasts. Find Podcast here.
With the new opening time proposed for September there is concern about where people who are visiting the site will park. The Friends of Frascati House have recently asked the Council to look into the issue of parking. With a lot of new activity there would be lots of new traffic issues along the Avenue. It is also unclear what long term plan the Derwent Valley Council have in place for the extra traffic congestion and disability parking as the “dirt to plate” project is expanding, Frascati house is restored, the old oval wards become residential accommodation with their own private parking and the community house continue with their activities.
