Bendigo

The planned redevelopment of Bendigo Art Gallery will be one of the largest civic expansions the city has ever undertaken. The image shows a rendering of the new, expanded gallery: a large white cube-like building side by side with the older, Victorian-era, red brick original Gallery. A flight of white steps lined by native plants and gum trees lead up to the main doors; an access ramp is also pictured.
