The primary objectives of the CMP are: • To guide SOPA in the conservation and management of the place for the next five years; • To establish the cultural heritage significance of the whole of the Newington Armament Depot and Nature Reserve including its buildings, infrastructure, natural and cultural landscape and moveable heritage; • To develop clear policies and guidelines for the conservation and management of the Newington Armament Depot and Nature Reserve; • To provide guidance for the conservation of the significance of the place while recognizing and providing for the need to incrementally enhance the place, increase public uses and initiate maintenance management activities. The findings of the CMP include an assessment of the Newington Armament Depot and Nature Reserve’s significance, of which this executive summary provides an overview. History The Newington Armament Depot and Nature Reserve is a place of exceptional heritage significance. Now an integral part of the Parklands associated with Sydney Olympic Park, the site comprises an extensive open cultural landscape that is intimately associated with the development and consolidation of the buildings and infrastructure of the Newington Armory for over six decades, from the 1890s to the 1940s, and the regenerating wetland and forest of the Nature Reserve. Originally part of an estate owned by wealthy free settler John Blaxland, the site was resumed by the colonial government of New South Wales in 1882 for a powder magazine, on which construction commenced during February 1897. The first buildings and structures were completed the following year. The Newington Armory was taken over by the Commonwealth after Federation, and in 1921 control passed to the Australian Navy, which progressively upgraded it over the next 20 years for ammunition storage and associated functions. During World War II, the facility was greatly expanded, partly due to the presence of the United States of America’s Navy, which also stored ammunition at the Armory. The Australian Navy continued to occupy the site after the war ended, progressively vacating it between 1996 and 1999. The site was transferred to the Government of New South Wales in 2000. In 1993, Sydney won the right to host the 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games. As a result, the southern portion of the Newington Armory was developed as the Olympic Village, which subsequently became the suburb of Newington. The remainder of the Armory formed part of the concept for the Millennium Parklands, associated with the development and remediation of the Olympics site. The Silverwater Nature Reserve, subsequently known as the Newington Nature Reserve, was dedicated in 2000. The Sydney Olympic Park Authority was established on 1 July 2001 to manage the public assets of the 640 hectare Sydney Olympic Park, which included the Newington Armament Depot and Nature Reserve. TANNER ARCHITECTS SEPTEMBER 2013 – ISSUE C i NEWINGTON ARMAMENT DEPOT AND NATURE RESERVE – CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT PLAN Today the site is evolving as part of the developing Parklands, now receiving over 2.6 million visits annually. The site is attracting people from local and regional communities, enjoying a diversity of leisure activities, educational and interpretation programs. Heritage Significance The heritage significance of the Newington Armament Depot and Nature Reserve, which has been endorsed by inclusion in the State Heritage Register kept by the Heritage Council of NSW, is derived from its manifold natural, Aboriginal, historical and landscape attributes. Its natural significance is derived from the lands within and adjoining the Newington Nature Reserve, which although a disturbed landscape that is now regenerating, provides valuable habitat for rare and endangered flora and fauna and migratory birds, along with a limited number of Aboriginal archaeological artefacts. Its distinctive cultural landscape results from the integrated development of an industrial landscape combining buildings, berms and artificial landforms during the establishment and consolidation of the Newington Armory, spanning the decades from the 1890s to the 1940s. The character of the place is the result of deliberate isolation, which is still evident today and critical to the interpretation of the place. The role of the Newington Armament Depot and Nature Reserve has changed since the 2000 Olympics, and it is playing an increasingly important role as a valuable local and regional destination for leisure, recreation and education. Summary Statement of Significance Aboriginal values: Aboriginal stone artefact sites identified within the study area are representative of similar Aboriginal sites across Sydney and the rest of NSW. Isolated artefact sites and potential archaeological deposits previously identified within the study area have potential to contain small, relatively undisturbed subsurface archaeological deposits, and have low local significance due to their research potential. Although all Aboriginal heritage sites contain intrinsic cultural significance, MLALC did not identify any further cultural significance for the identified sites in the study area. Natural values: The wetland and forest areas within and adjoining the Newington Nature Reserve have high natural heritage values because they are rare remnants of ecological communities and ecosystems that once dominated this region. Cultural values: The cultural landscape of the Newington Armament Depot and Nature Reserve includes evidence of early nineteenth century industrial ventures and the pastoral activities of the Blaxland family. The site clearly demonstrates the combination of factors that influenced its evolution and development since the 1890s. These factors include the growth of the Royal Australian Navy, the advent of World War II, changing explosives technology and explosive ordnance regulations and the availability of land. This is reflected in the minimum separation distances between explosives storehouses, the evolving technology of the building stock, ribbon development through the wetland, the isolation of buildings around the forest and the development of the light rail system. The first buildings that were constructed at the Armory are unusual examples of the work of the Colonial Architect’s Office. The site contains a wide variety of functionally related blast containment structures, support buildings, transport networks, landforms and movable items associated with the storage and handling of explosive ordnance, all of which were closely integrated with the topography and other natural features of the site. It also contains significant natural landscapes, which preserve regionally rare ecological systems. ii SEPTEMBER 2013 – ISSUE C TANNER ARCHITECTS NEWINGTON ARMAMENT DEPOT AND NATURE RESERVE – CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT PLAN All of the structures, in combination with their operational fixtures and equipment and the way in which the natural landscapes have been utilised and modified, contribute significantly to an understanding of explosives storage and the evolution of the Armament Depot. The Armament Depot formed part of a historically significant network of naval sites in the metropolitan area that express the strategic importance of Sydney in the Pacific region in the early decades of the twentieth century. The Armament Depot played a vital role in naval fleet operations, being the major depot for the storage of explosive ordnance, and was historically linked to other magazine sites such as Goat and Spectacle Islands. The Newington Armament Depot and Nature Reserve still contains a rare combination of buildings and landscape features which were constructed by and for the Royal Australian Navy, the Royal Navy and the US Navy, which are of national significance in demonstrating the logistics support which Australia gave to its allies during World War II. The Newington Armament Depot and Nature Reserve, under the management and control of the Sydney Olympic Park Authority, demonstrates best-practice late twentieth century and early twenty- first century responses and actions to the adaptive reuse of historic sites and management of natural areas that are environmentally sensitive. The site demonstrates the changing cultural role that purpose designed facilities must undergo to enable effective conservation and public appreciation.

    Defence Submission to the Standing Committee on State Development Inquiry into Defence Industry in New South Wales Summary 1. Defence welcomes the New South Wales (NSW) Government’s and Parliament’s interest in strengthening local defence industry to support Australia’s defence and national security. With the release of the 2016 Defence White Paper, Integrated Investment Program, and Defence Industry Policy Statement on 25 February 2016 and the Naval Shipbuilding Plan on 16 May 2017, there is clear direction to implement a major renewal of Defence capability and with it a strengthening of Australia’s defence industry. The scale and long-term nature of Defence’s requirements, including in areas such as the continuous naval shipbuilding programs, require a national approach and partnership between Defence and State and Territory Governments. 2. Australia’s industrial base is a fundamental enabler of Australia’s military capabilities, and an integral element of the nation’s defence. Defence welcomes the announcement of the NSW Government’s Defence and Industry Strategy – Strong, Smart and Connected and the establishment of Defence NSW. Defence also welcomes increasing collaboration between NSW and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) in the defence sector. 3. Through new and expanded policies and programs, Defence is supporting Australia’s defence industry to develop the right technology, skills and capabilities to meet Defence’s current and future needs. There are considerable opportunities for local defence industry to contribute to Defence, with accompanying economic and community benefits. Ensuring that NSW businesses are aware of the opportunities and can leverage the support available from Defence and the broader Commonwealth is an important objective for collaboration between Defence, the NSW Government, and NSW industry.

  • Fact Sheet — Parklands
    Fact Sheet — Parklands The parklands at Sydney Olympic Park provide 430 hectares of open space, recreation areas, wetlands and waterways for the people of Sydney located in the heart of the growing metropolitan Sydney. • One of Australia’s largest urban parklands, Sydney Olympic Park is a diverse and special place where protected remnant woodlands, rare saltmarshes, waterbird refuge and mangroves stand alongside places of heritage significance to create a unique parkland setting. • A lasting legacy of the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the parklands have been designed and built on land formerly used by government industries including the State Abattoirs, State Brickworks and Commonwealth Department of Defence, and are the result of remediating industrial land — an internationally recognised leading environmental remediation and urban renewal project. • Today, the parklands are playing an increasingly important role as both a local park and as a significant regional park destination as Sydney grows. The parklands are an association of many different parks and places brought together as a single entity for management purposes. • The suburb of Sydney Olympic Park covers an area of 640 hectares, of which 430 hectares are parklands. • There are now over 2.7 million visits to the parklands annually, representing 27.5 percent of Sydney Olympic Park total visitation. • The parklands include the leisure and play areas of Bicentennial Park, Wentworth Common and Blaxland Riverside Park; the sporting grounds at Wilson Park and Archery Park, and Monster and Mountain X facilities; the state heritage listed Newington Armory; the more natural areas of Newington Nature Reserve and Badu Mangroves; the Brickpit and 100 hectares of wetlands and waterways.

Summary below extraced from Moore Park Heritage Report by CAB Consulting. Refer to Volume 2 for full report The area was originally part of Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s ‘Second Sydney Common’. After being set aside for public recreation space in 1866, it was Military Parades. ISN Line of roads leading to Botany 1850 renamed ‘Moore Park’ – after Charles Moore, who was Mayor of the City of Sydney at the time. From the very beginning, Moore Park was the centre of Sydney’s recreation, sporting and entertainment activities. Within the first couple of years, the area was transformed through the creation of sports facilities, the Zoological Garden and the Showgrounds. The extensive Sydney tram system serviced Moore Park, with one of the largest annual drawcards to the Park being the Royal Easter Show 1 2 3 (which was held at Moore Park for 115 years). As Sydney’s population grew and the needs for 1800’s 1830’s 1840’s 1850’s - 60’s outdoor recreation diversified, more ‘attractions’ were introduced to Moore Park, as long as they were considered to be ‘for the good of the community’. _ Moore Park is located within a network of tracks _ The Lachlan Swamps Water Reserve was _ Victoria Barracks was constructed 1841 – 1846 _ In 1850 the government proclaimed a new road from British Colonial occupation, which followed established within the Common in 1837, its naming using locally quarried sandstone and was occupied from Botany Road to Coogee.
