    t'tk Office of NSW-- Environment GOVERNMENT & Heritage ED18/314 018/11242 The Hon Paul Green MLC Committee Chair Portfolio Committee No 6 - Planning and Environment Parliament House Macquarie Street SYDNEY NSW 2000 By email: [email protected] Dear Mr Green Thank you for your letter about the inquiry into the music and arts economy in NSW. I appreciate the opportunity to provide a submission on behalf of the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). I attach a list of music and arts venues listed on the State Heritage Register (SHR) under the Heritage Act 1977. It includes cafes, restaurants, bars, gallery spaces and live music venues. This list is indicative only and is based on current use information recorded in the OEH's statutory heritage database, which does not always accurately reflect the various iterations and mixed uses of SHR items. The list shows venues listed on the SHR only. Venues operating out of heritage-listed premises protected under local environmental plans at the local government level are not included. OEH does not collect or hold data that would allow it to report on the number of music and arts venues that have been 'lost' over the past 20 years. The Basement operates from the modern commercial building at 7 Macquarie Place Sydney. This property is not listed on the SHR and therefore is not protected under the Heritage Act. I note the committee's interest in heritage listing or an equivalent statutory mechanism to protect iconic music venues in NSW, and specifically to prevent their closure.

  • Sirius Planning Controls Letter Nboyd2
    Dr. Noni K. Boyd Heritage Consultant & Architectural Historian GPO Box 1334 Sydney 2001 Australia Mobile: 0412 737 921 ABN 71 376 540 977 12 February 2018 Submitted via the website Dear Sir or Madam, Re: Sirius building, 36-50 Cumberland Street, The Rocks Proposed new Planning Controls I write in regard to the call for public submissions on the proposed SEPP for the Sirius site at 36-50 Cumberland Street. I have a very detailed knowledge of this area having previously worked for SCRA/SHFA. My Master’s thesis undertaken at the School of Architecture at Sydney University involved a study of the development and conservation of Gloucester Street, The Rocks and more recently I have been involved in the preparation of Conservation Management Plans for 23 George Street North and some of the surviving 1840s townhouse in the area: 20-22 Lower Fort Street and on Millers Point proper. As a general comment the information contained within the suite of documents exhibited does not demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the actual place. Bunker’s Hill, upon which the Sirius building now sits, was once a separate residential area from The Rocks where substantial cottages, villas and townhouses were erected by wealthy merchants including the Campbell family. Lower Fort Street still contains vestiges of this housing stock. The scale of the buildings on Bunker’s Hill can be seen in Conrad Marten’s 1857 painting Campbell’s Wharf held in the National Gallery of Australia. Martens also painted views from Bunker’s Hill looking towards Government House and Circular Quay, as did other artists.
