Phase 1: In May 2014, the museum started a series of workshops to look at the post living legacy period
It held a workshop where it invited other heritage and tourism stakeholders to discuss the future of the museum
Phase 2: It started the process of visioning the museum for the next 5 years
The process started with staff and was followed by Council and Council and management
In doing this, both in workshops and in internal process, the museum took into account external the external environment in which it is operating
