ABC News tonight had a report that Haydn Peace, owner of the Morgue at Willow Court will now renovate and set this place up as an accommodation. This area is privately owned. The Morgue has served the Derwent Valley Community up until the closure of the institution, it was also believed to have served as an over flow for Hobart during the Port Arthur massacre.

David Llewellyn announced that Willow Court is a “Site of Conscience” on ABC Radio today, while David is happy to have businesses and people occupy the area because it adds to the security of the area. He refused to endorse or be drawn to comment about Haydn Pearce’s idea, instead he gave an update of the works on the Council owned areas by some members of the Friends of Willow Court and some options that were on the table for future development.

Well done David Llewwllyn and Friends of Willow Court
Lets focus on the appropriate way to identify and acknowledge this significant site
Most visitors will be much more reflective and empathetic about a Site of Conscience
We dont need the shock value of the bizarre as part of Willow Courts restoration
