Draft Bulls Old Courthouse and Gaol Management Plan

Change of reserve classication


The Council has notified the Minister of Conservation of its intention to seek a change in the classification, under the Reserves Act 1977, of the Bulls Old Courthouse from a 'local purpose (community building) reserve' to a 'historic reserve' over the entire site, including the former Gaol, at 104 Bridge Street, Bulls. This will enable greater flexibility over how the buildings can be used whilst still retaining the heritage value of both.


You are invited to lodge a written objection to this proposed change to the classification. Comment on the Reserve Management Plan for this reserve is a seperate matter detailed below.
