On Friday, Sunshine Coast Council and the Friends of Pattemore House signed a Memorandum of Understanding regarding the elegant historic centrepiece to Maleny’s developing Community Precinct. This provides real certainty for its future as a prominent example of hinterland heritage.
The
document formalises the path forward in continuing the work to preserve
and conserve the 1907 State heritage-listed building and its extensive
grounds.
Divisional
councillor Jenny McKay oversaw the signing of the agreement, saying “It
has been a privilege to be involved with this project over the last
three-and-a-half years. The people who have contributed to the work
have been amazing”.
Friends of Pattemore House president Susan Carbery acknowledged Council support for her group’s work had been wonderful.
“Council
has supported our ideas, helping us work to preserve and conserve, and
through this MOU we can see the future now,” she said.
“I
would also like to pay homage to Emily Pattemore (nee English), who was
the first person to push for Pattemore House to be heritage-listed,
back in 2003.”
