The NSW Office of Environment & Heritage, after representations from Mayor Bob Kirk, General Manager Warwick Bennett & NSW Member for Goulburn Wendy Tuckerman have today inspected Kenmore Hospital with staff of Goulburn Mulwaree Council following the fire that occurred on Saturday afternoon.
Kenmore Hospital is a state significant listed heritage site, therefore it is the NSW Government department who holds authority to require remedial action to be taken and the property to be protected.
The building is significantly damaged, and still under investigation by NSW Fire & Rescue and NSW Police forensics. Trespassing and vandalism is an ongoing issue at the Kenmore Hospital property.
Council has offered our full assistance with this matter, and will provide staff resources to assist NSW Office of Environment & Heritage if this will help.
Council sees it as critically important that NSW Office of Environment & Heritage act quickly in taking compliance action to have the site secured from further vandalism.
It is critical that Australia China International Holdings act to protect and preserve Kenmore Hospital.
