History

The previous gallery opened in June 1999. Known as the Gallery Hinchinbrook, it was situated in the TAFE / Hinchinbrook Shire Library complex on Townsville Road, Ingham, which was also opened in 1999. The gallery was owned by the Barrier Reef Institute of TAFE and was leased and administered by council, in conjunction with the Friends of Gallery Hinchinbrook Association Inc., a voluntary association.

The Queensland Government committed $4 million out of a planned $8 million for Stage 2 of the "Our Town our Future - Ingham Cultural Complex," known as the Tyto Precinct.[3] The gallery is part of this precinct. Funding was subsequently delayed,[4] but work on the precinct began in 2010.[5]

In March 2011, a new purpose-built gallery was opened in the TYTO Wetlands Precinct and is formally known as the TYTO Regional Art Gallery with the main gallery named after John Coburn, an artist born in Ingham.
