THE Hamilton Gallery is set to get a significant upgrade in its internal ambience with the Southern Grampians Shire Council (SGSC) voting last week to install both modern lighting and climate control systems midway through this year.

Discussed as two separate items in the scheduled February 8 meeting - the first for 2023 - the need to address the ageing installations in the building and the limitations they create for the resource, was recognised as evidenced by the unanimous votes to award tenders and allocate funding for the improvements.
