Federal Member for Calare Andrew Gee visited the museum on Tuesday and heard the concerns of its volunteer committee members.
He left with an offer to aid talks between Thales, who owns the building, and the LSAFM by contacting the arms factory’s head office in Australia.
“The first step is to get the two parties in the same room and get a line of communication open,” Mr Gee said.
“It is clearly something that is worrying committee members and so we need to find a resolution for them [LSAFM] and for the wider community.”
Mr Gee had a museum tour then was shown LSAFM’s collection of factory machinery not on display due to the lack of space available in the current building.
