New heritage hoist clotheslines being installed
7 February 2025
The Body Corporate has launched a long-term maintenance programme to replace old rotary clotheslines with heritage hoist-style models that match Freemans Park’s existing look.
New clotheslines have already been installed at 62 Wellington St and 144 Howe St, with further installations scheduled; T-line wiring will also be replaced.
Following an audit, one clothesline at 85 Beresford St West will be removed and one at 81 Beresford St West relocated.
As part of our ongoing focus on long-term maintenance, the Body Corporate has begun a programme to replace all the old and rusty rotary clotheslines.
The replacement clotheslines will be in a heritage hoist rotary style, in keeping with the look and feel of the current clotheslines here in Freemans Park.
Two of the star blocks (62 Wellington St and 144 Howe St) have already had their old rotary clotheslines replaced, while others will see their new rotary clotheslines installed in the coming weeks.
If you use the alternative T-line clothesline to dry your clothes, these will get new wire in the next month.
As part of this project, an audit of the number of clotheslines was undertaken. As a result, one of the four rotary clotheslines at 85 Beresford St West will be removed, and one of the three rotary clotheslines at 81 Beresford St West will be relocated a short distance away at the end of the 142 Howe St row houses.
