A Master Plan was prepared for the redevelopment of the site concurrently and heritage advice was provided. While work from related studies was used in this report original research was carried out concentrating on the operational aspects of the site and including consultation with former workers. This report builds on the “Eveleigh Carriage Workshops Conservation Analysis 1999” produced by The Department of Public Works and Services, Heritage Group. The report examines the history of the place and of carriage building, the construction and operation of the workshops, how they were run, what work was done and significant people associated with them. The building fabric and machinery are surveyed in an inventory of significant items, which identifies significant fabric and is a database. A comparative analysis

  • 'Ugly Sydney' Or an Enhancement of the Greatest Rail
    Australian Folklore 21, 2006 157 The Fate of Eveleigh: More of ‘Ugly Sydney’ or an Enhancement of the Greatest Rail Heritage Site in the World? Brian Dunnett and Robert J. Haworth Lovers of heritage and of a human-scale city alike are alarmed at the latest proposal for the old Eveleigh Railway Workshops site that covers many hectares of inner Sydney.1 The New South Wales Government Planning Minister Frank Sartor has recently excised the area from heritage protection legislation in order to allow maximum possible development of the site for high-rise apartment blocks.2 Of particular concern is the current threat3 to close the still functioning Large Erecting Shed and transform it into either a completely new 12 storey office tower or an ‘adaptive re-use’ four storey block. Unfortunately, the concerns of community groups, even if they represent a majority of citizens, mean little to contemporary Governments, especially at the State level. This is particularly true of the New South Wales Government, which is in the perverse position, after 15 years of uninterrupted economic boom, of being squeezed between accelerated development brought on by the boom and declining tax revenue4 exacerbated by the increasingly unequal power distribution between the States and Canberra. Developer Section 94 contributions allowed for under the NSW EPA Act5 go to Local Government, thus giving the State Minister an incentive to excise choice areas and over- develop them as a means of much-needed revenue raising from special developers’ contributions which go direct to the State Government. The 1 The best pictorial presentation of is in danger of being lost is in: D.

  • Beyond Cinema at Sydney Film Festival 05/05/2016
    MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL 00.01am THURSDAY 5 MAY 2016 BEYOND CINEMA AT SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL The 63rd Sydney Film Festival announces a new program of three FREE immersive experiences exploring cutting edge screen culture and new technologies, entitled Beyond Cinema, to debut at the Festival (8-19 June) across three Festival locations: the Festival Hub at Sydney’s Lower Town Hall, the University of New South Wales and Carriageworks. “The Festival’s new immersive program expands the Sydney Film Festival experience by presenting three new ways of creating and experiencing film, art and storytelling,” said Sydney Film Festival Director Nashen Moodley. “From virtual reality, to 360-degree 3D cinema, to a four-sided video art installation, the Festival encourages audiences to explore new worlds, new perspectives and new ways to enjoy film,” he said. At the heart of the Festival in Sydney’s Lower Town Hall, Down the Rabbit Hole – Virtual Reality at the Hub (9 – 19 June) will screen nine virtual reality films, from four Australian and five international filmmakers. Designed to enchant, inspire, thrill and ultimately change viewpoints, audiences will put virtual reality headsets to the test including Samsung Gear VR and Facebook’s new Oculus Rift. VR experiences include: a stroll along the streets of Havana (A History of Cuban Dance), going on stage with the Sydney Dance Company dancers (Stuck in the Middle with You), going inside the world of a cattle farmer and one of Australia's top saddle bronco riders (Warwick Gold - Australian Rodeo), falling down the rabbit hole and into a Lewis Carroll inspired music video (Fabulous Wonder.Land), finding out what it’s like to lose your sight (Notes On Blindness: Into Darkness), haunting an asylum (Madeleine), walking in the footsteps of a filmmaker’s army officer father in Chile’s Caravan of Death (Assent), experiencing the first ever fully hand-drawn VR experience (Drawing Room), and stepping into an animated encounter with a lonely rose (The Rose and I).

  • Stratford Drawings and Microfilm Lists.Xlsx
    Stratford Photo Tracings and Liquid Fuel Photo Tracings Drawings Lists Description: There are approximately 16000 engineering drawings covering locomotives, carriages and wagons, components, road vehicles and a miscellaneous variety of objects. There is an associated and quite unique card index system related to the drawings and a set of registers. System of arrangement: The engineering drawings have been sorted and listed in separate series based on the apparent practice of the drawing office at Stratford. The main series of the drawings can be categorised into four main types: 1. Photo tracings on wax linen. These acted as a master from which copies could be made for other purposes. 2. Office copies. These were prints on paper, with the earliest using a cyanotype photo process for copying, sometime additionally coloured, and kept in the drawing office. 3. Shop copies. These were on a variety of materials tacked onto wooden rods and used in the workshops. They have survived in this condition and are inevitably uniformly dirty and frequently in poor condition. 4. Bench-hole copies. These were separate from the main series, as only about 20% originated at Stratford. Most came from external sources. Essentially they formed a technical reference library of ideas and suggestions. They were folded and stored flat in a pigeonhole system. In total they comprise approximately 16000 drawings. There is duplication between the various series but the extent of this has not yet been appraised. The main series of drawings runs potentially from 1 to 42459, plus ‘attachments’ and ‘parts’ drawings. Most of these drawings have not survived into the present, as a result of periodic culls of material.
