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

In August 2023, the Tamborine Mountain Arts Precinct (TMAP) team had the privilege of presenting our vision and business model to the TMAC Artist in Residency program, engaging TMAC members and the wider Tamborine Mountain community…

In April 2023, the Tamborine Mountain Arts Precinct's petition on Change.org garnered over 200 signatures, rallying community support to establish a permanent art gallery in honor of Katy, a beloved local artist. This overwhelming response marks a significant step towards realizing our vision of transforming Tamborine Mountain into a premier arts hub in southeast Queensland.
