1. A method of manufacture of a wallboard heating panel comprising the steps of: providing a continuous feed of a first sheet of material; andcontinuously depositing a layer of settable gypsum slurry onto the first sheet of material in a continuous process to form a continuous open wallboard feed; wherein the method further includes one or more of the steps selected from: continuously depositing at least one heating element substantially along the length of the continuous open wallboard feed; andregularly depositing at least one heating element substantially along the length of the continuous open wallboard feed, wherein the heating element is configured in a heating layer, wherein the heating layer is embedded in the layer of settable gypsum slurry, wherein the method further comprises the step of: providing a continuous feed of a second sheet of material at an opposed side of the settable gypsum slurry to the first sheet of material to form a closed wallboard feed. 2. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the method further includes one or more of the steps selected from: continuously depositing at least one electrical conductor member substantially along the length of the continuous open wallboard feed, said electrical conductor member being relatively more conductive than the heating element; andregularly depositing at least one electrical conductor member substantially along the length of the continuous open wallboard feed, said electrical conductor member being relatively more conductive than the heating element. 3. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a plurality of heating elements are deposited. 4. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein a plurality of electrical conductor members are deposited. 5. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the electrical conductor member is adapted to operate as a busbar at terminal points of the heating elements, and having a low resistance to flow of current relative to the heating element(s). 6. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the electrical conductor member is deposited continuously along the sides of the length of the continuous open wallboard feed. 7. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the method includes the step of depositing at least one transverse conductor member, suitable for allowing termination of the heating panel at an opposed side of the heating panel from the heating element(s), along the length of the continuous wallboard feed. 8. A method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the method includes the step of sizing the closed wallboard feed by forcing it through a forming plate section of a predetermined size to form a pre-set continuously feeding heating panel of a consistent thickness. 9. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the electrical conductor member is prefabricated as a continuous sheet of at least partially conductive material. 10. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the electrical conductor member is at least partially prefabricated together with at least one selected from the first sheet of material and the second sheet of material. 11. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the electrical conductor member is at least partially printed on at least one selected from the first sheet of material and the second sheet of material. 12. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the electrical conductor member is arranged in a regular formation. 13. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the electrical conductor comprises an irregular arrangement of electrically conductive fibres. 14. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one selected from the first sheet of material and second sheet of material are composed of material that is at least partially porous to one or more selected from water vapour and liquid. 15. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one or more selected from the first sheet of material and second sheet of material are composed of paper. 16. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electrical conductor member is composed of one or more selected from a metal or metallic alloy; a semi-conductor material; and carbon fibre. 17. A method as claimed in claim 16, wherein the semi-conductor material is doped. 18. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein one or more selected from the first sheet of material and the second sheet of material is fed from a roll. 19. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the method comprises: allowing the settable gypsum slurry in the pre-set continuously feeding heating panel to at least partially set; andcutting the partially set continuously feeding heating panel to size. 20. A method as claimed in claim 19, wherein the method further comprises stacking several similar cut heating panels in a heated environment to allow excess water to evaporate from the slurry and to allow the settable gypsum slurry layer to cure to form cured heating panels. 21. A heating panel made by the method of manufacture of a heating panel as claimed in claim 1.
