Surely the organ - just on 150 years old - can be retained?

In fact, due to its heritage and links with John West, the building and its contents should be retained in perpetuity.

The Prince's Square, and most of the buildings around it are part of an historical gem in the town: surviving to this day.

Let's keep it that way.

After almost 150 years in Launceston we have a developer who wants rid of the organ and another piece of heritage is being threatened. It is clear the the City Baptist group have put some work into trying to solve this problem, but the only solution they have come up with is to break it down and ship it to Victoria.

It IS within the Councils power to keep this organ in place and make it clear to the new owner that the organ needs to be maintained and included in their plans for this space. This new Council was elected with many candidates standing for protecting the heritage of our City. Here is their opportunity.
