WANGARATTA'S Visitor and Information Centre has relocated from Murphy Street to the Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre (WPACC).

The new kiosk on the ground floor of the WPACC, located near the theatre stairs between the Ford Street and Ovens Street entrances, opened last Wednesday.

Rural City of Wangaratta Councillor Irene Grant said council decided to set up the kiosk at the WPACC since it was an accessible space.

"It's about accessibility and being visible so people can come and get information," she said.

"When I walked in today there were actually people here asking for advice."

Council director of sustainability and culture, Stephen Swart, said he hoped the new kiosk will make information more flexible for visitors.

"Over Easter our visitor information team provided information from the community kiosk in the middle of the CBD with terrific results, and we hope to continue this by having a permanent kiosk at the WPACC," he said

"The kiosk is conveniently situated for travellers.

"The WPACC has all abilities amenities, Intermezzo Café, and is adjacent to the Wangaratta Art Gallery."

As well as the new kiosk in Wangaratta, council economic development and tourism coordinator, Janine Rolles, said the main visitor centre will be opening in Glenrowan later this year which she hoped will also bring more visitors from Melbourne to Wangaratta.

"We chose Glenrowan for the main visitor information centre because that's where the tourists are," she said.

"If we can catch visitors as they're coming into the region we have a chance to disseminate and get them into the Wangaratta as well as the surrounding towns.

"We'll have volunteers doing pop ups at different locations so we're expanding our services not shrinking them," she said.
