Trust action: Historic Hunter Valley homesteads could be removed from the State Heritage Register. The
National Trust and its Hunter Regional Branch are preparing a joint submission seeking the long term protection of the 1830s Wambo Homestead Complex at Warkworth, near Singleton, which is set to be the first of many such homesteads in the region being assessed by the Heritage Council for de-listing from the State Heritage Register. The Wambo Coal company claims that much of the complex is in ruins, but its plan to move the property from its mine site so that it could be preserved was never approved. The National Trust and local community fear that the de-listing of the complex will present a real threat of demolition.
