Unworthy of listing?

Patonga is a very special place on the Central Coast, whose tourist potential needs recognition and nurturing.

I hope we will have time at the next Gosford Council Heritage Committee to discuss how a heritage item, the Patonga tavern, which has undergone specific Council approvals at each stage of its development should somehow become unworthy of heritage listing?

I wonder what Council's culpability in this might be, if this is indeed the case (which I doubt).

And what potential impact on the ambiance of Patonga might follow if the heritage listing were withdrawn?

I wonder too where Gosford Council is up to with its plans to redevelop the caravan park at Patonga.

Will they display as much sensitivity and regard for cultural heritage as for the development of this site does?
