New conservation plan for WA's oldest public building

A new conservation plan for WA’s oldest public building will be considered by Fremantle Council tonight.The Round House Conservation Management Plan details an estimated $652,000 worth of works that are required to protect and preserve the 190-year-old building.Deputy Mayor Andrew Sullivan said due to its exposed location, vandalism and the well-intentioned but damaging repairs carried out during previous decades the Round House was now in urgent need of restoration.“The Round House has exceptional state and national heritage significance, not just as the oldest public building in Western Australia but also for its role in the establishment of the somewhat brutal colonial system of colonial law and order when it served as a gaol, and as the holding point for Aboriginal prisoners being transferred to Rottnest Island,” Cr Sullivan said.“This site is so pivotal to who we are as West Australians.
