More Surveys For

Norfolk Hotel

Planning of Norfolk Island’s third hotel is continuing, but actual building has been delayed.

Ground surveys were made early last year, and construction work was to have begun by the end of the year. The hotel is to be at Kingston, close to the present Hotel Paradise, and convict built ruins are to be incorporated in the design.

In May, the site was inspected by two Sydney architects and a builder, in company with two of the scheme’s principals, Sydney solicitor Mr. N. H. Mclntyre and company director Mr. D. M.

Fegan. They examined suitability of local building materials and availability of local labour.
