The proposal seeks to achieve a balance between the objectives of heritage conservation, the needs of the region for quality accommodation facilitating the tourism industry & the wider economy, the needs for a commercially viable proposal and minimising or preventing any environmental impact. Note that the accommodation building will not be visible from the town centre or the main street and will not exceed the height of the gaol walls. Key heritage views from Argyle St will be preserved. We believe the scale and location of the accommodation is an appropriate response in endeavouring to meet all of the competing requirements for a successful reuse of the site.
