"The announcement of a funding injection is extremely welcome," Mr Clarke said.
"It will support the reinvigoration of Brambuk, enrich visitors' cultural experiences and enhance employment opportunities for the community."

"Our communities have been part of Brambuk since its inception and the new works will build on the past 30 years of cultural experiences that millions of visitors have enjoyed at Brambuk and in the Gariweld cultural landscape," the chief executive said.
