Now visitor information centre’s moving to main street

First the library was relocated to the town centre, and now it’s the turn of the Campbelltown visitor information centre.

The visitor information centre has been located at the historic cottage known as Quondong since 1998.

Quondong [pictured above] is owned by Campbelltown Catholic Club, who plan to use the Quondong site to expand their operations as part of their planned senior’s living retirement residences they will be building on their site.

Campbelltown Council has announced the visitor information centre will be relocated next month to its Queen Street administration building ground floor foyer.

As part of the relocation the visitor information centre will operate seven days a week: five days (Monday to Friday) in the civic centre foyer, and on the weekend at the Campbelltown Arts Centre.

Previously this service was available from Quondong Wednesdays to Sundays.

A new pop-up information point will be set up at the Campbelltown Arts Centre on Saturdays and Sundays as part of the new arrangements.

The move is also part of a project to enhance the space within the civic centre’s foyer to increase foot traffic to the new visitor information centre.

These plans include the extension of the Koalatown display.

“This is an exciting time as we prepare to welcome the fantastic visitor information centre to our main street,” says Mayor of Campbelltown Darcy Lound.

“Quondong has been a wonderful home for our region’s tourism services for the past 27 years.

“We are now looking ahead to a new era that will ensure our community and those visiting our city can access the visitor information centre seven days a week.

“I also want to thank the Campbelltown Catholic Club for providing a much-loved home for our team for almost three decades,” Cr Lound said.

“We are delighted that we will be expanding our visitor information centre’s operations from five to seven days a week. Our friendly team will be available every day to highlight all of the tourism locations that our terrific region has to offer.

“While there may be a short disruption to our services during the move, this relocation highlights our investment in customer services and the local visitor economy,” he said.
