The Maidenwell Observatory plans to close its doors at the end of the year and relocate to a new site at Kingaroy Airport.
Observatory director James Barclay told fellow members of the South Burnett Tourism Association at a meeting held at Cranes Winery on Tuesday night that he hoped the new Observatory would be open by March next year.
Mr Barclay said over the last decade the Maidenwell Observatory had accommodated 16,000 visitors.
About 90 per cent of these weren’t locals and he thought the lack of adequate accommodation facilities in the area was holding the business back.
He said the new Observatory would be located on Geoff Raph Drive, near the South Burnett Vintage Machinery Club’s site.
He thanked SBRC Economic Development Manager Phil Harding for his assistance with the move.

Well it is still close by and hopefully easier to get to.
