Re: DSRM

How much really do you think you they will get for the road transport
equipment? The museum will have to put up collateral to a financial
institution to borrow money, then you have public insurance, and the road to
upgrade - won't the council do it for free as the museum anticipates large
crowds visiting Dorrigo and causing a spin off to the local economy or has
the museum got them off side?
Then you have to prepare at least some of the collection to a suitable
standard, and vandal and safety proof the rest as well a building toilets,
shop, sheds, carpark, lighting, drainage, and general landscaping. You will
probably also have problems getting council approval to open or build
structures as some of the locals will complain (can the museum afford more
legal fees in the Land and Environment Court) Even with a small volunteer
labour force doing work the work you will have to use paid labour if you
don't want to be opening in the year 2010 or later, so you will have to
borrow at least a million. I don't think the banks will lend that sort money
as the museum has no assets, as they will be held in a proposed trust.
