... "SHIRE OF/ PHILLIP ISLAND/ TENDERS"...Shire of Phillip Island...Shire of Phillip Island managed the Phillip Island Penguin... on paper "SHIRE OF/ PHILLIP ISLAND/ TENDERS" Photocopy of Public ...Shire of Phillip Island managed the Phillip Island Penguin Parade during this era, and made several improvements for visitors including the building of a kiosk for food and beverage and some souvenirs. The building was located on a bitumen area at the base of the hill along with a brick toilet block. The area was actually raised from creek bed adjacent to the bitumen area, with Little Penguin rookery either side. The Shire tendered out the contract for the running of this kiosk on a 3 yearly basis.This small public notice from a Wonthaggi newspaper at a time when no local newspaper was being published on Phillip Island, marks the time when the Shire of Phillip Island began to increase provision of tourist facilities at the Penguin Parade. The number of visitors being 100,000 for the previous year is also an excellent indication of the popularity of the Penguin Parade. The listing of infrastructure available to the building is useful.Photocopy of Public Notice, Rectangular. Single collumn with heading, sub-heading, 5 paragraphs of text and Name and position of Shire Secretary. Black and white."30-7-64 EX" Meaning: 30.07.1964.
