I have to disagree strongly with this - see
Wikipedia:Red link. Redlinks serve a purpose on Wikipedia. Are you proposing that the town of
Hagley, Tasmania should not be linked soley because noone has created an article yet? See the text in the guideline "please do create red links to .... topics which should obviously have articles." -

I've merged "governance" and two of the small sections under "historic properties". Are there any remaining that you disagree with ? -

C., c or circa should be eliminated.Fixed
I had thought that this was the recommended and common use (see
Wikipedia:MOS#Abbreviations) but I am far from a WP:MOS expert. I have removed all but one the c. 1850 related to the drawing by Elizabeth Hudspeth is what all the sources say about the image -

Book references need the author, publishing date and page number.Fixed
Thanks, I have fixed the error in the cooper and goss reference and can't see any more missing page numbers.
For the year, if you mean that Hull, p.76 in the reference list should be Hull (1859), p.76 then I have to disagree. I use the
Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Short_citations MLA style references omitting the year (except for where, like von Stieglitz, there are two works by the same author so disambiguation is called for). The MLA style calls just for author’s last name and the page number. The full details of each cited work are in the subsequent bibliography section. I use MLA as adding the year seems, to me, to clutter the references section without adding any further information. -

Web references need the author, publisher, publishing date and access date.Fixed
Hmmm - I missed a few accessdates when copying this from my notes and I've now corrected this error in a few references. As for the other matters, I only list a publishing date if one is displayed on the web page, and likewise for author. Most of the web links are to places where the author is synonymous with the publisher. Can you point me to a reference# in the refs list you have issue with ? -

I know all those common issues. I was only asking for the access dates.--

Correct all ", and" → "and".(Idea! Use the "search and replace tool") and the lead misses "water and sewerage" doen't it?--

Except for parenthetical use those are fixed. The lead had a sentence mentioning water and sewerage, I've added another and, given the importance of the section, I think this is an ample sufficiency -
