Maitland City Council closed Maitland Gaol due to safety concerns with fire and electrical systems.

Maitland City Council has closed Maitland Gaol immediately due to safety concerns, including issues with the fire and electrical systems. The 170-year-old heritage site, managed by the council on behalf of the NSW government, will remain closed until further notice while assessments of repair work and costs are determined. The decision to close the site was not made lightly, as council staff, visitors, and the community's safety is the top priority.
