Carinya homestead, part of lost Camden

Camden Council voted to demolish the 1890 Carinya Cottage in Harrington Park, based on reports that it lacked local significance and associative value. This decision reflects a larger issue of neglect for heritage in New South Wales, with a lack of protection for historic sites and a conflict of interest in the assessment process. The political climate prioritizes development over heritage protection.
