The museum is moving from the corner of Willis and Cimitiere streets to make way for the University of Tasmania’s $260-million campus relocation.
“It’s a brilliant outcome … the relocation of NAMT would be a fantastic addition to North Bank and we see visit numbers only increasing,” Mr Griffin said.
“Having established a tourist attraction such as NAMT will only help to bolster visitor numbers to the site and offers another reason for visitors to spend more time in Launceston.”

Formal confirmation of the move will have to be considered and approved at a City of Launceston council meeting in the coming weeks.
