A NOT-for-profit company eligible for charitable tax concessions could take over the Eureka Centre operations.Ballarat City Council will consider changing the controversial centre’s governance structure at its ordinary council meeting tomorrow night.Destinations and connections director Jeff Pulford said the centre had previously been run as a council division.“The future operation of the Eureka Centre would be best served by a change to its governance structure by establishing it as a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, holding a tax concession charity status allowing it access to philanthropic funding,” Mr Pulford said in a report to council.It also recommends three foundation board members be elected, including University of Ballarat vice-chancellor Professor David Battersby, IBM government relations director Kaaren Koomen and KPMG national managing partner people performance and culture Stephen Carpenter.A further three members and a city councillor would then be appointed to the board to “reflect the broader Ballarat community of interest in relation to the Eureka story”.The Eureka Centre opened in 1998, with council assuming its management in 2002 after previously leasing it to Sovereign Hill.Low visitor numbers resulted in the current 12-month redevelopment of the Eureka Street centre, to be known as the Australian Centre for Democracy at Eureka.The $11 million project will include an indoor theatre and outdoor amphitheatre, a community cafe, education resources, interactive exhibition spaces and digital heritage and genealogical resources.As part of the redevelopment, the Ballarat Visitor Information Centre has been temporarily relocated to Lydiard Street.It is expected the centre will reopen later this year.
