Site preparation and demolition underway soon at Glenthorne

The Glen­thorne Nation­al Park Mas­ter Plan has been finalised, and a detailed imple­men­ta­tion plan is almost com­plete. Pri­or­i­ty works, includ­ing site prepa­ra­tion and the demo­li­tion of build­ings, will start as ear­ly as next month.

Build­ings that have been assessed as unsuit­able for reuse due to safe­ty rea­sons will be demol­ished. They include the old phys­i­ol­o­gy labs and admin­is­tra­tion build­ing. The shear­ing sheds and work­shop will be retained.

The Depart­ment for Envi­ron­ment and Water has been work­ing close­ly with the Glen­thorne Part­ner­ship to ensure this work takes into account the her­itage and cul­tur­al val­ues of any structures.

The remain­ing State Her­itage List­ed struc­tures from the 19^th cen­tu­ry will form impor­tant her­itage precincts on the Glen­thorne prop­er­ty. View the Artist’s Impres­sion of the her­itage precinct and oth­er high­lights from the mas­ter plan.
