Last Friday marked a turning point for TMAP with the sale of 122 Long Road at auction. While the outcome was not what had been envisioned, it has brought clarity and renewed focus to TMAP’s mission and values. This milestone is not an end but an opportunity to embrace new directions and possibilities.

TMAP is facing challenges in securing a meeting with Scenic Rim Regional Council (SRRC) about 122 Long Road. Despite clarifying that it is not a commercial bidder, TMAP's communications have gone unacknowledged. The lack of transparency from SRRC raises serious concerns as the auction date approaches.d

The Tamborine Mountain Arts Precinct (TMAP) is deeply concerned about the Scenic Rim Regional Council's (SRRC) decision to proceed with the auction of 122 Long Road on November 22. This decision disregards TMAP's efforts to establish a collaborative and mutually beneficial arrangement with both the Council and the Community.

Due to ongoing challenges with the Scenic Rim Regional Council (SRRC), TMAP has formally requested an urgent inquiry by the Minister for Local Government into SRRC's governance and asset disposal practices concerning 122 Long Road.

The Tamborine Mountain Arts Precinct (TMAP) has appealed to the Minister for State Development and Infrastructure, Grace Grace MP, requesting a delay to the planned auction of the old Tamborine Winery property on Gallery Walk until after the October State election.

We are pleased to inform you that our meeting with the Minister of State Development, Hon. Grace Grace, and her advisors yesterday afternoon at 1 Williams St, Brisbane, was very positive.

On Wednesday, May 22nd, the day TMAP was approved of its official Community Charity Status by the Australian Charities & Not-for-profits Commissions (ACNC), the Scenic Rim Regional Council (SRRC) chose not to support the Tamborine Mountain Arts Precinct's (TMAP) proposal to extend the pause on the auction of 122 Long Road (Gallery Walk).

On Monday, April 29th, 2024, two of the TMAP Co-founders John Tardy and Glen Pittock, along with Tania Frazer, Artistic Director, Artist in Residence Queensland Performing Arts Centre and Marg O'Donnell AO Chairperson Southern Cross Soloists, met with the office of the Queensland Arts Minister.

A critical moment is approaching for TMAP. We're gearing up for an important meeting with the Queensland state government to advocate our vision to create one of Australia's leading community arts precincts in the Gold Coast Hinterland.

On November 1, 2023, the TMAP Co-Founders presented their vision to the Scenic Rim Council for creating a community-centric Tamborine Mountain Arts Precinct, inspired by a family's personal loss and driven by strong community support, leading to a unanimous council decision to postpone the auction of the proposed site
