The Leslie Centenary Memorial Gates in Leslie Park have moved a step closer to State Heritage listing, the Free Times can reveal. Members of the public who made submissions to the Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP) have received formal advice from the department that it has recommended the controversial gates be included as part of the overall State Heritage listing for Leslie Park. As reported previously in the Free Times, the Leslie Centenary Memorial Gates have been at the centre of a tugof-war between heritage supporters and the Glengallan Homestead Trust. The trust has sought the return of the gates to the homestead grounds - where they were originally part of the entrance to Glengallan - in time for the homestead’s 150th anniversary celebrations in September. But many in the community have voiced their support for the gates to remain in Leslie Park and be State Heritage-listed, adamant that it’s part of the park’s and the city’s history. The four sandstone pillars and the iron gates - which stand in the southwest corner of Leslie Park opposite the Warwick Courthouse - were gifted to the Warwick Council in 1940 by the then owner of Glengallan Homestead, Oswald Slade, to mark the centenary of the Leslie brothers settling in the Warwick district.
