Hawkesbury. Historic site to be sold

Hawkesbury City Council has resolved to sell the 10.9-hectare Hawkesbury Heritage Farm, formerly the Australian Pioneer Village, at Wilberforce, over objections from the community. Council believed the Friends of the Village, which had submitted a plan asking for a peppercorn lease and details of running at a profit, could not operate it successfully. The property and buildings, excluding artifacts, will be sold at auction.
