A 500 per cent increase in visitors to the Gunnedah Water Museum is behind a renewed push to move the Visitor Information Centre (VIC) back to Anzac Park.

Gunnedah and District Historical Society's Marie Hobson set out her own case in a submission to Gunnedah Shire Council about the cultural precinct draft master plan, claiming it was the ideal place.
In the draft plan, the visitor information centre remains in the precinct where it was relocated in a controversial move in 2014.

Mrs Hobson said the museum was operating as a "pseudo information centre" because visitors were drawn to the Vietnam War memorial murals.
She believes the hill could become a hub if the VIC shared a space with The Mackellar Centre, and was once again alongside the museum and pool complex.
Mrs Hobson said it would take care of what she sees as parking issues around the precinct and there would be room to grow.
"Again the huge and ongoing problem of parking has not been addressed. Already we see cars and caravans and other RVs driving around Wolseley Park trying to find a place to park while they visit the VIC," she said.
"The recent opening of the wonderful new playground Livvi's Place has also increased the need for parking."
Mrs Hobson said other towns had "spacious and welcoming" centres but Gunnedah's was "literally "a squat" in the corner of The Civic precinct".
"The proposal to have it transferred to the Conadilly Street location appears to be not much bigger," she said.
"There's room for expansion up here."
Mrs Hobson argued that if The Mackellar Centre and the VIC shared a space, it would mean tourists could access the Dorothea Mackellar memorabilia every week day. The centre is open three days a week.
"At the museum, our members have heard countless people express their disappointment that the Dorothea Mackellar centre is not open every day," she said.
She also highlighted the museum's plans to gain funding for a mural of wartime nurses to be added to the tower, and "we would expect visitor numbers to increase yet again as tourists return to see the new attraction".
However, this week, council's project manager Colin Formann said moving the centre was outside the scope of the project and it may be preemptive when the koala park wasn't built and the second rail overpass would change traffic flows when completed.
The NVI contacted the Dorothea Mackellar Memorial Society but the society declined to comment.
