30 Years of Ferry Park Gallery
Ferry Park Gallery officially opened in February 1994. This exhibition featured historical information about the founding and construction of the gallery. Original members and exhibiting members were recognised, and there was a beautiful display of work from some of the original members. This included paintings, woodwork, quilts and more. The exhibition was on display during September 2024. For more photos and information, see 30 Years of Ferry Park Gallery

Ferry Park Goes Solar
Members of LCACA met with NSW State Representative Richie Williamson to thank him for his help with the installation of solar panels of Ferry Park Gallery. We received a Community Building Partnerships Grant of almost $7,000 to help pay for the installation of our new solar systems.
These systems will reduce our energy costs, and help meet Clarence Valley Council’s goal that “50% of the Council’s electricity demand be met from renewable resources by 2030 and earlier if feasible, principally through on site solar and renewable energy PPAs.” (source: Clarence Valley Council Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction and Renewable Energy Targets Report 2018)
