  • Sydney Government House
    TOP EDUCATION STUDENT FIELD TRIP INSTITUTE SEMESTER 1/2019 SYDNEY GOVERNMENT HOUSE SYDNEY GOVERNMENT HOUSE Government House is the Official Residence and Office of His Excellency General The Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Ret’d) 38th Governor of New South Wales and Mrs Linda Hurley. His Excellency is the 27th Governor to occupy this Government House and has held the position since 2 October 2014. In 1788, soon after a British settlement was established at Sydney Cove, the first Governor of the colony of New South Wales, Governor Arthur Phillip, laid the foundations of Sydney’s first Government House. This building was located in Bridge Street (on the site of the Museum of Sydney). After nearly 50 years of serving as the colony’s political, ceremonial and social centre, the building had become worn and dilapidated and many submissions were made to the British government for permission and funding to construct a new building. In 1836 construction finally began on a new Government House. The new building was influenced in its location and architectural style by the existing Governor’s Stables, completed in 1821 (now the Conservatorium of Music located at the main entry gates to Government House). Locally quarried sandstone was used for the construction. The building was designed by Edward Blore, architect to William IV and Queen Victoria. Blore had recently built the British Houses of Parliament in an Elizabethan Gothic style, expressing the continuity of government by constitutional monarchy. Blore had also worked on Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. The new Government House was built in the Gothic Revival style characterized by castellated towers and other medieval features.

  • Treasurer Press Release
    THE HON MELISSA THE HON JOSH THE HON GABRIELLE PRICE MP FRYDENBERG MP UPTON MP Minister for the Environment Treasurer New South Wales Minister for Heritage JOINT MEDIA RELEASE 2 October 2018 NATIONAL HERITAGE LISTING FOR CENTENNIAL PARK The Liberal-National Government is pleased to announce Sydney’s Centennial Park has been added to our National Heritage List, elevating the park to the status of other National Heritage places such as Bondi Beach, the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Australian War Memorial. Stretching almost 200 hectares, Centennial Park becomes the 115th place to be included on Australia’s list of pre-eminent heritage sites. Centennial Park has outstanding heritage value to the nation as the site chosen for one of the defining events in Australia’s history: the inauguration of the Commonwealth of Australia. The inauguration event held at Centennial Park on 1 January 1901 was a key moment in Australia’s progression to a unified Commonwealth when the six colonies of South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland were brought together as one. These actions marked the creation of a new democracy. From this moment, on 1 January 1901, the Commonwealth of Australia became a self-governing nation. The ceremony began with the ‘Great Inaugural Procession’ through the city of Sydney, with some 10,000 people participating in a parade watched by an estimated 250,000 people. The procession entered Centennial Park through the Paddington Gates and culminated in the part of the park now named Federation Valley. The natural amphitheatre of Federation Valley, surrounded by rocky ledges and grassy hills, formed an ideal gallery which allowed hundreds of thousands of ordinary members of the public to witness the inauguration ceremony alongside the dignitaries.

  • Another Two Diagonal Avenues Intersect the Site, Radiating from the Central Section of the Gardens on Carlton Street, to the Two Southern Entry Points
    ROYAL EXHIBITION BUILDING AND CARLTON GARDENS Another two diagonal avenues intersect the site, radiating from the central section of the gardens on Carlton Street, to the two southern entry points. The avenue on the east side is planted with Plane trees (Platanus x acerifolia). Near the Works Depot, in the avenue’s most northern extent, the trees are planted at wide spacings. This may have been a realisation of John Guilfoyle’s 1916 proposal to remove every second plane tree from the South Garden Plane Tree Avenue. It is unclear when the removal was to take place. The plane tree avenue referred to may have been that in the North Garden and not the one in the South Garden. In the southern section the trees are closely spaced, forming a denser over canopy and providing a stronger sense of enclosure. The avenue on the opposite diagonal on the west side of the gardens is planted with Grey Poplars (Populus x canescens) also reaching senescence. A replanting on the south-west side of this avenue with poplars occurred in 2006. The avenue’s integrity is strongest near Carlton Street where the trees are regularly spaced and provide good canopy coverage. 4.4.5 North Garden Boundary Trees The layout of the North Garden in the 1890s was primarily based on extensive avenue plantings crossing the site, with little in the way of other ornamentation. Individual specimen trees were mainly planted around the perimeter of the site, forming loose boundary plantations. The spaces between the avenue plantations remained relatively free of in-fill plantings, with expanses of turf being the primary surface treatment in these areas.

  • Conservation Issues the Obelisk Macquarie Place
    CONSERVATION ISSUES THE OBELISK MACQUARIE PLACE SYDNEY 1840s 1890s 1930s For City of Sydney August 2003 CASEY & LOWE Pty Ltd Archaeology & Heritage ________________________________________________________________________________ 420 Marrickville Road, Marrickville NSW 2204 • Tel: (02) 9568 5375 Fax: (02) 9572 8409 • Mobile: 0419 683 152 • E-mail: [email protected] i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Results . The Obelisk, Macquarie Place has a State level of heritage significance. The obelisk’s individual level of significance and its significance to the place warrants its conservation in situ. The obelisk is in a state of decay that involves the continuing loss of inscriptions and fabric. Drummy surfaces have exfoliated since last recorded in 1997. Research has shown that there has been replacement of the two base courses, recutting of the inscription, a stone indent replacing one section of an inscription and large drill holes. While many reports have been written in the last 30 years very little substantive conservation works have been undertaken on the monument. The long-term conservation of this monument of exceptional significance requires the Council of the City of Sydney to act speedily to implement a program of conservation. Council has a Conservation Plan endorsed by the NSW Heritage Council. The endorsed option is to conserve the obelisk in situ. Recommendations Recommended Option 1. This report recommends that the Obelisk, Macquarie Place should be conserved in situ and maintained (Option 3). 2. The obelisk’s condition will need to be monitored and managed through a maintenance program. 3. The City of Sydney should adopt and endorse the recommended option of this report to conserve the obelisk in situ and maintain it into the future.
