Condition

Robertson Park and Archaeological Sites has been built up over time in an ad hoc manner. There have been significant tree losses over time and some poor tree management in the past, but the remaining elements are well maintained generally and many of the archaeological sites noted in the documentary evidence are protected by being well covered. The park is in a constant state of change and upgrading by degree, with elements being replaced when required, tree surgery being carried out, and conservation works to items such as Lee Hop’s Cottage. Some Port Jackson Figs are in poor condition and have not responded to treatments including mulching and pruning. Some elements such as the grass court perimeter fencing are in poor condition. On the whole the place is in good condition.
