What is significant?
The Bangerang Cultural Centre, originally known as the Aboriginal Keeping Place, was built as part of the International Village project in Shepparton. First conceived in 1974, the Keeping Place was finally opened in 1982 after many years of planning. The International Village was set up in 1974 as a tourist attraction by the Shepparton Council to celebrate the contributions of different ethnic groups. A space was allocated to the local Aboriginal community for an arts and crafts centre. The community, and in particular John (Sandy) Atkinson, OAM, a leading figure in Aboriginal organisations, had a more imaginative plan to set up their own museum or keeping place which would display artefacts and provide a resource centre for educating people about the cultural heritage of the Aboriginal people. The Aboriginal Arts Board of the Australia Council, to which Sandy Atkinson was appointed in 1976, met with the local community with the result that the Shepparton Aboriginal Arts Council Co-operative was set up with funding by the Arts Board.
The Co-operative, managed by Sandy Atkinson, spent many years convincing organisations and individuals to commit to their visionary plan. Shepparton Council set aside a grant of $70,000 and provided the land on the site. Subsequently in July 1978 a deputation visited the Premier of Victoria Rupert Hamer to seek a firm commitment to the project by the State Government. The deputation headed by the leader of the Country Party, Peter Ross Edwards, included the Chairman of the Australia Council, Geoffrey Blainey; Sandy Atkinson; and the Mayor of Shepparton, Murray Slee. As a result the Government allocated $170,000 towards the building. The Australia Council and the Aboriginal Arts Board provided an additional $140,000.
The innovative architect Robin Boyd (1919-1971) had designed a circular interpretation centre at Tower Hill, Koroit in 1962, although it was not completed until 1970. When Sandy Atkinson visited the centre at the suggestion of Shepparton identity Mr Kilgour, he was inspired to contact Boyd's partner Frederick Romberg who agreed to design the building, with assistance from Ken Edelstein. The plans were drawn up in 1979 and the successful tenderer was KG Renwick Holdings Pty Ltd of Deniliquin.
Sandy Atkinson saw the building as a circle, an important symbol in Aboriginal culture. Romberg translated this idea into a brick octagonal building originally with a wide cedar shingle roof lit by skylights and surrounded by a timber colonnade. The windows are narrow and full height. Internally the space is divided into eight bays housing the four dioramas and other display areas. There is a theatrette and a mezzanine level containing storerooms and office space. Due to failure of the shingles, the original roof was replaced by the Rotary Club with the | | | | 25 Aug 2012 | | The Plan removes part of Reserve 1 and vests a reserve for road R1.
