From the Maitland Mercury report:
Maitland City Council has locked into place plans to secure its long term tenure of Maitland Gaol and to cement the site’s standing as one of the region’s iconic tourist attractions.
A submission has been made for funding through the Public Reserves Management Fund and council will now engage a consultant to undertake a gaol business plan.
Council initially undertook tours of the gaol almost immediately after it closed in 1998 and was offered a licence to operate the property as a tourism facility in 2000.
