Work to restore the historic Maitland Court House will begin later this month after a $1.1 million upgrade for the site was announced yesterday.
Included in the project will be a replacement roof, airconditioning upgrade, disability access and fire safety improvements, fixing of internal cracks, repainting and carpeting, landscaping and the replacement of underground pipes.
Maitland MP and Environment and Heritage Minister Robyn Parker secured the money for project, with the Department of Environment and Heritage describing Maitland Court House as “an outstanding and grandly designed Federation free classical building”.
Maitland Historical Society member Ruth Trappel said it was fantastic that the government was spending money to preserve the heritage-listed building.
