200129: Container Refund Scheme Roma – Maranoa Container Exchange taking over from 29th January

Roma Historical Precincts Inc. – Butter Factory

The Roma Historical Precincts Inc. (RHPI) was formed to collect, preserve, and research, interpret and exhibit material evidence of cultural significance in Roma and the surrounding district.

We aim to be a formally recognised cultural precinct and share visionary objectives, to present excellence in cultural heritage, while delivering educational, community and cultural benefit. To achieve this, we manage and care for significant cultural heritage collections. The strategic plan recognises the opportunity to create a true cultural hub; uniting the community behind a clear direction, allocating scarce resources to agreed priorities and consolidating key initiatives and goals.

The association’s role is to collect, preserve, and research, interpret and exhibit material evidence of cultural significance in Roma and the surrounding district.

If you have any information, photos, plans, drawings or items that pertain to the Butter Factory in Roma could you please contact Ray Howson on 0499 996 449 or Maree Worland 0422 574 897

Monthly meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of each month.
