From the Maitland Mercury report:
One-hundred-and-seventy years of religious and social history at East Maitland is about to listed on the State Heritage Register.
The Anglican Diocese of Newcastle applied to Department of Environment and Heritage to consider St Peter’s Anglican Church for heritage listing, and the department in turn recommended the Glebe Gully Burial Ground be included. The application, to be endorsed by Maitland City Council tomorrow night, includes the Williams Street avenue between Brisbane Street and the New England Highway.
MCC heritage officer and report author Clare James said these assets were collectively a major slab of Maitland’s heritage and a cornerstone of history.
