Sara Quon, CEO of Sovereign Hill was guest speaker at our breakfast meeting on Wednesday 8th May, 2024.
Sovereign Hill opened in 1970 and depicts Ballarat's first ten years after the discovery of gold in 1851. It is a nationally acclaimed tourist attraction, one of Victoria's most popular attractions and Ballarat's most famous.
Sarah spoke about Sovereign Hill's recovery from Covid with visitor numbers now approaching pre covid levels.
Sarah also outlined plans for future growth including expansion in education offerings, further recognition of first nations people, new event spaces and reception area developments.
Several of our club members have a direct connection with Sovereign Hill as staff, volunteers and supporters.
