(2) Why do these notices refer to an explanatory letter sent by the Minister for Lands, but not received by many of my constituents? (3) Why do these notices not contain any information relating to the period of the lease for which payment is required? (4) As many property owners receiving these notices remain severely affected by the drought, have you made any arrangements to allow these additional payments to be deferred or paid by instalments?

These permits do not have a fixed term and continue until such time as they are cancelled. (4) Drought relief provisions for any Crown Lands account holders have been in place for several years now.

  • Oatley Railway Station

    Oatley Railway Station

    OATLEY RAILWAY STATION STATION OPENING The line from Hurstville to Sutherland was opened on 26th December, 1885 and continued to Waterfall on 6th March, 1886. How was it that the Railway Department determined that a station would be provided at Oatley? A deputation of residents from the area met the Minister for Public Works in January, 1886, and proposed that stations be provided near Hurstville (i.e. at Penshurst) and at Oatley. The Minister, Jacob Garrard, acknowledged that, in relation to Oatley, the “gradient is very great, which is a serious objection”. Notwithstanding this problem, Garrard acknowledged that a station would “meet the conveniences of the residents” and he, therefore, resolved to submit the idea of a station at Oatley to the officers of the Railway Department for report.1 No Railway official seemed to question the Minister’s wisdom, notwithstanding the problem of the gradient. Voila! A station appeared. In 1886, the total population of Oatley was nine people who lived in two houses.2 Was the station opened for the “convenience” of just nine people or was there another motive. Was one of those nine people an influential person who was able to direct the Minister to approve the provision of a station? The Minister’s remarks dismiss what author, William Bayley, states as the reason for the construction of the station. Bayley wrote that the station was provided for tourism.3 The reason for the provision of the station remains a mystery. The station at Oatley opened in 1886 but the press and the public called it Oatley’s.
