From the Maitland Mercury report:
Development in central Maitland will attract less red tape under Maitland City Council’s plan to foster the refurbishment of Maitland Heritage Mall and High Street.

Ms Flint said people were keen to see the street’s heritage mixed with a modern look in the precinct such as has been achieved at the Maitland Regional Art Gallery.
