Timbertown set to remain open

The communities desire to keep Timbertown Heritage Theme Park open and operational looks like coming to fruition with Port Macquarie-Hastings Council securing a buyer who intends to operate the facility as a theme park.

 

The recommendation to sell Timbertown to potential buyers David and Alison Waite, who were identified through an expression of interest process, was adopted at the November Council meeting.

 

The Administrator has supported the sale saying it not only meets the community’s expectations for the park it also aligns with Council’s agenda of concentrating resources on core services.

 

“While the sale will be made on a commercial basis which does not give Council the right to place conditions on the parks use, the operating model presented by the Waite’s gives me confidence that the buyers aim is to continue to operate as a heritage theme park. This is the outcome that was overwhelmingly expressed in the community consultation process,” said Mr Payne.
