The Wattles is a heritage listed house in the Cumberland LGA, constructed between 1851 and 1875, it is one of the oldest residendences in the LGA. The issues of concern was how to appropriately conserve, reuse and adapt the property in the context of a larger development while protecting its heritage values and making it accessible to the public. In addition to the HIS we prepared a Schedule of Works to guide the conservation of the building.
