The architectural and heritage practitioner’s task at hand was to determine the heritage significance of Mooihawens, regarded as a grade IIIB site, to establish indicators, informants and constraints to allow responsible re-development to occur without undermining the heritage value which exists in the form of 1942 original barracks which was home to those who manned the radar monitoring rooms.
