Statement of North Beverly Hills Conservation Area is important because: Significance: It meets significance assessment Criterion (a); as it demonstrates overlays of the continual pattern of human use and occupation showing evidence of the development boom following World War II and the austerity (between 1945 and 1960) in housing styles in a relatively intact housing stock, Criterion (c); as it maintains its unique Inter-War period subdivision pattern and uniformity in housing styles including fabric, form and simple architectural detailing that gives the area harmonious character, Criterion (f); as there aren’t many areas within Hurstville LGA that have concentration of housing dating from a single period of development and, Criterion (g); as it represents a relatively intact Post-War suburb that, through its physical form, largely same period building stock and history, demonstrates suburban development and life in Beverly Hills after World War II. As this Area meets four of the seven significance assessment criteria it qualifies for listing as a heritage conservation area on the HLEP 2012. Historical Notes The name Hurstville was adopted in 1876 when the public school was erected. Travel to the or Provenance: city relied on coach until the first stage of the Illawarra railway reached Hurstville, opening on 15 October 1884. Rapid subdivision followed and municipality was incorporated in 1887. As soon as it was formed the council arranged for gas lighting in the principal. The Illawarra line was electrified in 1926. A railway link between Tempe and East Hills opened in 1931 led to further development of the Wolli Creek area stretching from Kingsgrove to Herne Bay. Significant growth of the Hurstville district occurred in the interwar period when suburban

infrastructure was improved and gas and water services greatly extended. Electric power was provided from 1923 by the St George County Council, established through collaboration of the councils of Bexley, Hurstville, Kogarah and Rockdale, the first municipal enterprise of this kind in Australia. The year 1923 was also remarkable for the large number of estates subdivided in Hurstville creating the new suburban allotments that ushered in a building boom that peaked in 1927-28. In the interwar period the population increased from 13,394 in 1921 to 22,663 in 1933 and housing stock almost doubled, rising from 2,975 to 5,431. The 1933 census records that timber houses slightly outnumbered brick (2,585 to 2,400) but only 304 were constructed of fibro. Four years later its council described Hurstville as a 'modern suburb' with no 'dilapidated buildings' or 'mean class of residence' and many attractions which included the health-giving open space provided by the Georges River on its boundary and several parks. Its homes were 75 per cent owner-occupied, a fact demonstrated by its 'well-kept gardens and lawns'. However, Hurstville was poorly served with sewerage at this time, having only 36 per cent of its properties connected. By the census of 1947 there were 33,939 people living in Hurstville and the number of occupied dwellings was 8,684. Of these 4,049 were brick, 2,767 were timber and 1,677 were fibro.

Physical Description: The North Beverly Hills Heritage Conservation Area consists of a number of subdivisions. The main estate was Moorefields Estate which covered all of the area south of the municipal boundary. The estate appears to have been built-up in the 1920-30s and in the immediate post-World War II period and consists of shrub-lined streets radiating from Yarralah Place (around which are located the community buildings of churches and a school). Pallamana Parade encircles half of the Hurstville section of the precinct. The Canterbury section of the precinct possibly pre-dates the Hurstville section as there are some 1920s bungalows but the majority of the houses are contemporary with those in the Hurstville section. There are some vacant blocks in the path of the proposed extension of the motorway from Liverpool. The gardens are generally well-landscaped and treed. There is a small number of unsympathetic intrusions into this area but it is still remarkably intact. The preliminary survey of the area found that it is intact in terms of original subdivision and uniformity as well as streetscape setting. It combines the southern part of National Trust Hurstville UCA – Precinct 1: Beverley Hills, Pallamana Parade. The subsequent detailed contributory ranking proved to be relatively different from the preliminary findings. The area has limited number of ‘Contributory A’ but a large number of ‘Contributory B’ items that date State Heritage Inventory Date: 13/02/2013 Full Report with Images Page 2

from the post World War II development phase with a number of Intrusive developments scattered within the area resulting in some changes of the overall character. However, the area is a pleasant neighbourhood and shows the cohesiveness of Post-War residential development with simple and modest examples of the subdivision of the 1920s. The surviving small number of Inter-War period houses along Ponyara Road, Warraroong Street and south-western end of Tooronga Tce reflect the initial development phase and pattern around Yarallah Place. The .radial and circular street pattern with a main public open space and a number of semi-circular public open spaces gives unique identity to the neighbourhood. Some streets have established street trees, which enhance the aesthetic quality of the area in addition to its relatively intact residential development of the post World War II period. The subdivision pattern and the style and character of development in the area reflect the Inter-War and post World War II waves of development.

Physical Condition: Generally good.

Modification Dates: Recommended Refer to the Principles for Heritage Conservation Areas. Ensure new development including Management: infill and alterations and additions are designed sympathetically to the identified character of the area.

Management: Statutory Instrument List on a Local Environmental Plan (LEP)

Further Comments:

Criteria a) The North Beverly Hills Heritage Conservation Area possesses streetscape integrity because it was developed during one period. It reflects the availability of finance enabling the middle class to borrow money and finance the purchase of a house and epitomises the great diversion of funds in Australia from productive investment in industry and infrastructure to "non-productive" investment in private housing. By virtue of the importance of home ownership in Australia, the area embodies the success in successive Australian governments' political control and subjection of the electorate. Criteria b)

Criteria c) The area has a uniformity of housing style including colour, form and architectural detail that gives the area a harmonious appearance. Street trees along Warraroog Street create a pleasant streetscape and together with other pockets of street trees, in particular within the northeast section, add to the character of the Area. Criteria d)

Criteria e)

Criteria f) The predominance of one period of housing is a rare example of a homogeneous devleopment on a 1920s subdivision. Criteria g) The area contains a large number of representative examples of Post-War housing in a unique subdivision form.

Assessed Significance: Local Endorsed Significance:

Statement of Designed in the Romanesque style, Regina Coeli Catholic Church is of local significance as Significance: a good example of Post-War ecclesiastical architecture and new technologies emerging in the early 1960s that allowed churches to be lighter and more spacious than previously possible. It was designed by the prominent ecclesiastical architects Sydney G. Hurst and Kennedy, who designed the highly regarded Cathedral of Saints Michael and John in Bathurst. Listing includes the main church building only.

It has a historical association with the Catholic community since 1963, with the parish dating to 1946. The early priests of the church had strong post-war links with the military and the church itself was intended to serve as a reminder of the strong military ties between America and Australia.

The church also has high aesthetic significance for its strong streetscape prominence sited on the crest of a hill opposite a park which provides a striking and positive contrast to the Inter-War and Post-War bungalows in the surrounding area.

Regina Coeli Catholic Church has significance as a rare example within Sydney of a War Memorial Catholic Church and as one of a few Post-War Romanesque style churches in the Hursville LGA.

Listing includes the church only. Although, the lot is considered for listing, the curtilage is defined as the building’s footprint with 2 metre buffer zone around it. Historical Notes or Provenance: State Heritage Inventory Date: 03/09/2013 Full Report with Images Page 1

Location: 70 Ponyara Road, Beverly Hills [Hurstville]

Historical Notes Despite the new East Hills railway line and the opening of a station at Dumbleton (now or Provenance: Beverly Hills) in 1931, development of the suburb was slow due to the Great Depression and World War II. During the war, two army camps were built in the area and subsequently housing began to be built as young families moved in. Initially these residents were required to travel to other parishes in order to attend church services, until pressure was placed on the Archdiocesan Authorities and former Naval Chaplain, Father Evans was appointed "rector amovobilis" to Beverly Hills in 1946.

By 1948, a Catholic school had been built. Regina Coeli Catholic Church was opened on May 6, 1963 by Cardinal Gilroy as a permanent and visible commemoration of the friendship between Australia and the United States of America. Designed by architects Sydney G. Hurst and Kennedy in the Romanesque style and built by Fr. William Evans, it utilised modern construction methods and materials to create a lighter and more spacious church than previously was possible. Fr. Evans was chaplain on H.M.A.S. Canberra, which was sunk in August 1942. Themes: National Theme State Theme Local Theme 8. Culture Religion (none)

Designer: Sydey G. Hurst and Kennedy Maker / Builder: Fr. William Evans

Year Started: 1963 Year Completed: 1963 Circa: No

Physical Description: The Regina Coeli Catholic Church was designed in 1963 by the architects Sydney G. Hurst & Kennedy. The church is built from brick in the Romanesque style, featuring a traditional symmetrical cross shaped floor plan, low pitched roof, and simplified towers flanking the main entrance of three rounded arched doorways, pillars and small upper windows. The building also has vertically proportioned openings in both the towers at irregular spacing, and along the length of the nave and the transepts. The nave also features circular windows along the top of the wall, and a central stained glass window in the front facade. Both the towers and the apex of the street facing gable have simple metal crosses. Modern methods and materials permitted the style to be much lighter and more spacious than was possible in the past. The airy interior of Regina Coeli Church is an excellent example of the combination of past and present methods of construction and design. The facade is dominated by towers which reach ninety five feet, or nearly twenty nine metres above the street. The towers bear on their bases plaques commemorating "Australian-American Friendship in War and Peace". Above the doors is a large rose window.

The whole facade presents an impressive entrance to the Church. The interior of the Church shows a high, vaulted ceiling and a dome over the sanctuary. Behind and above the main altar is a life-sized statue of Mary, Queen of Heaven, "Regina Coeli". The church contains both an "Australian Chapel" and an "American Chapel". The Chapels are divided from the nave, the main body of the Church, by rounded (Roman or Norman) arched, borne by stone State Heritage Inventory Date: 03/09/2013 Full Report with Images Page 2

Roman Tuscan columns. The nave gives the best view of the fine rose window, which shows a portrait of Mary and the legend, "Regina Coeli". (Source: adapted from http://www.reginacoeliparish.org.au/ourcommunity/parish.shtml)

Physical Condition: Excellent condition.

Modification Dates: Recommended The church should be retained and conserved. A Heritage Assessment and Heritage Impact Management: Statement should be prepared for the site prior to any major works being undertaken. Before the commencement of works, photographic and archival recording (in accordance with Heritage Branch Guidelines) should be undertaken. Listing does not prevent making internal changes and replacement of Baptismal Fonts. A heritage assessment would easily identify the parts of the interiors that are not part of the original or significant fabric that would allow for the majority of the internal work to be carried out under exemption. Most of maintenance and repair works would not require development consent.

Management: Statutory Instrument List on a Local Environmental Plan (LEP)

Further Comments:

Criteria a) While the Church was built in 1963, the parish dates back to 1946 and strong post-war links with the military- with the inaugural Parish Priest Father Evans having served extensively in the Navy. Father Evans' wartime experiences left him with a desire to commemorate, in some permanent and visible way, the friendship between Australia and the United States of America. He intended for the church itself to serve as a reminder of the strong military ties between America and Australia. In 1954 he gained permission from the Catholic Church to change the name of the parish from the original "Queen of Peace" to "Regina Coeli", a title which had recently been proclaimed. It was his hope to build a large church in honour of Mary, Queen of Heaven which would also serve as a memorial to "Australian-American Friend•ship in War and Peace". Criteria b) The church was associated with the prominent ecclesiastical architects Sydney G. Hurst and Kennedy, who designed the highly regarded Cathedral of Saints Michael and John in Bathurst. The Church has also strong association with Fr. William Evans who was chaplain on H.M.A.S. Canberra, which was sunk in August 1942.

Criteria c) Built in brick and designed in Romanesque style, the Regina Coeli Catholic Church is a good example of new technologies emerging in the early 1960s that allowed churches to be lighter and more spacious than previously possible. It displays towers, pillars, rounded arches and small upper windows. The spacious interior of Regina Coeli Church is an excellent example of the combination of past and present methods of construction and design.The church also has high aesthetic significance for its strong streetscape prominence sited on the crest of a hill opposite a park which provides a striking and positive contrast to the largely post World War II development in the surrounding area. Criteria d) Regina Coeli Catholic Church has significance for its strong associations with the growth of the Catholic Church in the St George Area dating back to the early 1940s. The church has

significance as a memorial church built in honour of Australian-American friendship in war and peace.

Criteria e) The church has potential to provide information on the architectural characteristics and construction system of Post-War Romanesque style ecclesiastical buildings. Criteria f) Regina Coeli Catholic Church has significance as a rare example within Sydney of a War Memorial Catholic Church. The Post-War Romanesque style churches are also rare in the Hursville LGA. Criteria g) Regina Coeli Catholic Church is a good representative example of Post-War ecclesiestical buildings in the Sydney area. Integrity / Intactness: Highly intact externally

Statement of The subject house known as "Hilcrest" at 130 Stoney Creek Road is of local heritage Significance: significance as a representative of Inter-War housing development and growth in the wider Municipality, which included the majority of the suburbs of Hurstville Local Government Area. The house was built following a larger land's further subdivision in the 1930s and reflects the areas development expansion along Stoney Creek Road. Together with its neighbouring properties at number 134 and 136, it provides evidence of development in Beverly Hills in the Inter-War period.

"Hilcrest" is a well detailed Inter-War house that retains its original and characteristic architectural features including face brick finish, projecting entry bay with corbelled gable and arched opening as well as a faceted bay window intact. It contributes significantly to the streetscape of the immediate locality. It is one of three similar types of Inter-War houses in this section of Stoney Creek Road.

Statement of Hurstville Oval is highly regarded amongst cricketers for its consistently well maintained Significance: wickets, outfield, surrounds, spectator areas and amenities, and has been recognised by the Sydney Cricket Association as the best ground in Sydney numerous times. Since opening in 1911, Hurstville Oval has played host to a some of the country’s best cricketers, including sporting legend Sir Donald Bradman and renowned left-handed batsman Arthur Morris, who made his 1930s debut for St George Cricket Club at the age of 14. Other important figures linked to the ground include household name Bill ‘Tiger’ O’Reilly and his protégé Ray Lindwall.

The velodrome in particular has played an integral role in the careers of countless Australian cycling representatives since 1956 and according to Hurstville City Council is a cornerstone of Hurstville’s sporting identity. The velodrome at Hurstville Oval is an important site for the local community and a major contributor to the sporting history of the St George region and is one of only four veledromes in Sydney.

The listing includes the original grandstand, velodrome, gates and ticketing booth only. Booth-Saunders Pavilion, amenities & toilet blocks, glass observation media room, terraced spectator seats and the later section of the grandstand are excluded from listing. Historical Notes This land was previously owned by Patrick MacMahon, who arrived in Sydney aboard the or Provenance: Caroline in 1854. The MacMahons had eight children and lived at Kirribilli until they purchased a large parcel of land at Hurstville in c.1883.

Dalcassia Estate. MacMahon built a mansion, known as Moyarta, on his estate which was gradually subdivided between the late 19th century and 1939. Patrick MacMahon donated the land along Timothy Street, now the northern boundary of the oval for public recreational use. It was proclaimed in 1899 with the name Hurstville Park. The oval opened in 1911 under the jurisdiction of the St George Cricket Association, it has since played host to some of the country’s best cricketers, including sporting legend Sir Donald Bradman and renowned left- handed batsman Arthur Morris, who made his 1930s debut for St George Cricket Club at the age of 14. Other important figures linked to the ground include household name Bill ‘Tiger’ O’Reilly and his protégé Ray Lindwall. In the early 1920s, the St George District Amateur Athletic Club and the St George Amateur Cycling Club were formed, and a track was formed at the oval. Initially it was oval, and caused frequent accidents for cyclists. Requests for an improved track began in 1924, but it was not laid until 1935 due to insufficient funding. Thanks to the efforts of the St George District Amateur Athletic Club, the oval was equipped with electric light in 1923 and it was used for evening athletics and cycling meetings. The Booth Saunders Pavillion was officially opened in January 1925 by the Mayor, Alderman W. Collier in recognition of Brian Booth, MBE and Warren Saunders, OAM for their service in the district to the game of cricket. The Players Pavilion at Hurstville Oval was opened by Mayor E.J Curlisa in October 1967. Hurstville Oval is the home of St George District Cricket Club. Others sports played at the oval include athletics, cycling, rugby league and soccer. Themes: National Theme State Theme Local Theme 8. Culture Leisure (none) 8. Culture Sport (none)

This listing includes the reservoir and all associated pipework, valves and valve houses to the property boundary. Historical Notes Allawah Reservoir (WS 1) was built in 1958 in response to a decision in the early 1940's to or Provenance: extend local storage to the southern suburbs. Work commenced on construction in 1946 but was not completed until 12 years later.

Allawah Reservoir (WS 1) was well placed to take over supply of the lower areas originally supplied by Penshurst and Wiley Park.

With the plan to extend the Woronora Pipeline to the Metropolitan System, a main was commenced in 1958 from Penshurst to Allawah. However by 1961, it was realised that

instead of Woronora supplying Sydney, the opposite would be the case, with Warragamba water supplementing areas supplied by Woronora. This situation required further amplification of the mains between the Pressure Tunnel at Ashfield and the Penshurst Reservoirs, including a new main from the Pressure Tunnel to Allawah. The new main was to be pumped by a new pumping station in Canterbury Park, together with a pumping station at Allawah to pump water to Penshurst.

Completion of this scheme in 1969 allowed Warragamba water to be fed into the Woronora Pipeline in sufficient quantity to assist in the supply of Sutherland, Cronulla and beyond.

Statement of Hurstville substation is of local significance as a part of the infrastructure required to Significance: establish the electrification of the metropolitan railway network in the 1920s, a highly significant event in the history of the NSW railway. The structure is also significant as a good representative example of the Inter-War Stripped Classical style of railway sub-station built in 1926 for the electrification of the system. The quality of the building design reflects the desire by the railways to showcase a new era of technology with the introduction of the new electric system. Historical Notes The first stage of the Illawarra Line was opened to Hurstville in October 1884, with stage 2 or Provenance: extending the line to Waterfall in 1886. The line to Waterfall opened on 9 March 1886. The next extension to the Illawarra Line opened to Clifton (now Scarborough) in 1887, and since the Clifton-Wollongong - North Kiama (Bombo) section had been completed already as an isolated line, this date saw the commencement of through trains between Sydney and Wollongong and beyond. A second track was extended from Hurstville to Waterfall on 12 December 1890.

The line was electrified to Sutherland in 1926. As the electrification of the metropolitan lines were converted from steam to electric traction, substations located approximately 8 kilometres apart were required for efficiency in direct current (DC). A 1500 volts DC system to power the overhead conductors was adopted for the NSW Railways. Locations for substations were determined by topographical conditions, anticipated loading conditions and calculated economic distances between adjoining sub-stations. The main railway junctions

were considered ideal sites in order to service more than one line.

15 substations were constructed in the Sydney Metropolitan area between 1926 and 1932 to service the electrified network. All 15 sub-stations followed the same basic layout and were typically constructed as large rectangular two or three storey brick buildings with large high- level windows.

Hurstville sub-station is one of the earliest electric sub-stations within the NSW Railway network, built to power the first operating electric railway opened in Sydney, using power from the White Bay Power Station. It was opened in 1926 along with a similar substations at at Prince Alfred Sidings and Meek’s Road, Marrickville, though these were larger units (Brady, 1997).

Year Started: Year Completed: Circa: No

Physical Description: PRECINCT ELEMENTS Substation (1926)

CONTEXT The substation is located north west of Hurstville Station, in between the rail line and Forest Road.

SUBSTATION (1926) Exterior: The substation (rectifier building) is a large rectangular brick building featuring stong vertical lines accentuated with pillars and a flat roof. The building is similar to Meek's Road and Prince Alfred Sidings substations, which have been referred to as the ‘Bradfield design’. The building is constructed in a Stripped Classical style featuring engaged piers with corbelled upper sections and a parapet roof and presents an attractive façade to the rail side. Access was via a large roller door to the eastern elevation leading to an internal loading dock wide enough to allow equipment to be moved in and out.

Interior: The building features three levels: basement, ground floor and mezzanine. All floors are concrete slabs supported by steel I-beams and brick square columns.

Further Comments:

Criteria a) Hurstville substation is of historical significance as part of the electrification of the metropolitan railway network in the 1920s, and in particular the Illawarra line, which was one of the first lines in the network to be electrified. The sub-station was one of the first to be opened in 1926, with the electrification of the rail network being a highly significant event in the history of the NSW railways, marking a new era in railway operations and technological advancement. Criteria b) As it was built for the electrification of the rail network, the substation has some loose historical association with J.J.C. Bradfield, though this is not considered to be a direct or important link and therefore the item does not have significance under this criterion.

Criteria c) Hurstville substation is of aesthetic significance due to the quality of its design and construction, which reflects the desire to display a new era of technical development in the railways with the electrification of the network. The building is a good example of an early Inter-War Stripped Classical style substation and stands as a landmark industrial building. The building retains its overall form and stylistic qualities which were exemplary of the transition in railway architecture during this period used for electrification of the suburban lines. Criteria d)

Criteria e) The building has capacity to provide information regarding the supply of electricity to the rail network at the time of its initial electrification in the 1920s, as well as the changes in electricity supply technology over time since its initial commissioning. Criteria f)

Criteria g) The substation is representative of the initial design of substation built for railway eletrification in 1926. It is representative of railway substations built in the 1920/30s for the electrification of the network, and is comparable to other similar examples at Meek's Road and Prince Alfred sidings. Integrity / Intactness: The exterior of the building retains a high level of integrity externally.

Statement of This school is of local significance due to the Lewis Block and the A.J.Clark Centre Binishell. Significance: The Lewis block is the oldest structure in the school and is a rare example of a well maintained and intact Inter-war academic classical style building in the Hurstville area. The A.J.Clark Centre is one of a very limited number of Binishells in Australia and one of the few remaining constructed as part of the NSW Department of Public Works building program for schools in the 1970s. This program sought to construct 10 binishells across the state to provide large open floor spaces for schools, using the new construction method invented by Italian architect, Dante Bini. Historical Notes The school opened in 1929 with the construction of the main building, now named the Lewis or Provenance: block after the first principal. At this time the school was known as Junior Technical and Trades School, with 530 pupils and 21 staff. The school was opened after the population of the area exceeded the capacity of previous school called the Hurstville Superior Public school, located on Forest Road and allowed senior boys classes to be conducted separately. In 1957, it became a high school and its name was changed to Hurstville Boys High School, with years 10-12 added to the school.

In 1973, the New South Wales Department of Public Works undertook a building program in

Location: Kenwyn Street, Hurstville [Hurstville]

schools across the state utilising the newly developed building technique of Italian Architect, Dr. Dante Bini. First used in 1964, the ‘Binishell’ system created a strong, thin hemispherical concrete shell that was able to be inflated within a couple of hours, drastically reducing construction times. They range in size from 12 to 40 meters and the method was used in 1500 buildings in 23 countries.

Dr Bini was engaged as an architectural consultant to initially design 10 buildings for the NSW school building program, and to train staff in the construction technique. The large uninterrupted floor spaces made it an appropriate style of architecture for use as multipurpose centres and libraries in schools. The firm Taylor, Thomson and Whitting Pty Ltd was also engaged as consulting structural engineers on the project.

The Hurstville boys Binishell was one of the later 36 metre domes, constructed after the successful completion of 18 metre shells, such as that at Narrabeen North Public School. The assembly hall, named the A.J.Clark Centre was named after the Principal of the time and is used for sports, musical events and school assemblies.

The project was concluded in 1979, however after the collapse of two of the NSW schools buildings; Fairvale High school and Pittwater High school, a number of others were taken down, leaving few of the structures remaining in Australia.

In February 1983 a major fire at the school damaged the main building, requiring extensive repairs to be undertaken over the next 18 months. Themes: National Theme State Theme Local Theme 6. Educating Education (none)

Further Comments:

Criteria a) Lewis Block - This building is the oldest structure in the school. It was constructed as the newly opened Junior Technical and Trades School, which was needed after the population of the area exceeded the capacity of the existing school called the Hurstville Superior Public school.

Binishell - This building was one of the 10 structures planned as part of the New South Wales Department of Public works building program for schools. The Binishell System was first used in 1964 and planning for the project began in 1973. The Hurstville Boys Binishell was one of the later, 36 metre shells constructed, before the program was stopped in 1979 Criteria b) Lewis Block - This building has been used by the school since the time of its construction and has been associated with a number of institutions which preceeded Georges River College. It is named after the schools first principal.

Binishell - This building has been used by the school as an assembly hall since its construction between 1973 and 1979. It is named the A.J.Clark Centre after the Principal of the time.

Criteria c) Lewis Block - This building is a well-detailed example of the Inter-war academic classical style. Its symmetrical front facade features a central portico with triangular pediment and a conventional classical order of architecture.

Binishell - It is an example of the Binishell system as it was being applied in the 1970s. Invented by Italian Architect, Dr. Dante Bini, it was first used in 1964. The ‘Binishell’ system created a strong, thin and hemispherical concrete shell that was able to be inflated within a couple of hours, drastically reducing construction times. They range in size from 12 to 40 meters and the method was used in 1500 buildings in 23 countries. Criteria d) The social significance of these buildings requires a more detailed study in order to ascertain its value to the local community. However, it could be anticipated that the buildings' have some value to the local community for their association with the school as a place of education. Criteria e) Lewis Block - This building has a potential to provide information on the construction techniques and characteristics of Inter-war academic classical buildings.

Binishell - The building has a potential to provide information of the construction system employed in Binishell structures at this time, some of which are known to have had irrepairable structural weaknesses. Criteria f) Lewis Block - This building is one of a very small number of public buildings constructed in the classical style during the Interwar period. All which are well maintained and remain intact.

Binishell - This building is one of a very limited number of Binishells in Australia. It is one of the few remaining and constructed as part of the NSW Department of Public Works building program for schools in the 1970s, some of which were never completed and others which were later removed.

Criteria g) Lewis Block - The building is represenative of the expansion of the education system in Hurstville at the time of its construction. The wider population growth of the LGA was reflected through increasing number of student enrollments necessitating the opening of a new senior school.

Binishell - The building is a good example of the development that took place in schools across NSW in this period when public works programs were undertaken to expand school infrastructre. Integrity / Intactness: Both buildings are intact externally.

Statement of This group of Inter-War corner shops are of local heritage significance as evidence of the Significance: residential expansion and indicative of retail activities that were required by settlement away from the town centre forming a small shopping precinct. They were built in 1926 on land that was part of the Kimberley Subdivision made in 1892. The shops are one and two-storey humble corner shops that were once the hub and meeting places for the community and can be seen throughout suburbs of Sydney featuring typical characteristics of their period. Their architectural detailing is rather simple and largely focused on their parapets with construction date inscribed in the centre. Their joinery and ground floor shop windows and fenestration are modified; however, they maintain their overall characteristics.

The listing includes the facades of the shops only. Historical Notes 61 and 61A Kimberley Road, Hurstville or Provenance: Part of 1892 Kimberley Park subdivision, the lot was only developed with fencing until 1926. The shop and residence was built that year by Alfred Trinder, Produce merchant. He retained ownership until his death in the early 1960s when it was transferred to his wife Mrs Malvina Trinder. 63-65 Kimberley Road, Hurstville Part of 1892 Kimberley Park subdivision, the lot was developed with two shops nos. 63 and 65, by 1926. The owner at the time, Herbert Craven Smithson retained the shops until the 1960s.

Physical Description: This group of shops occupies either corner of Kimberley and Weston Roads’ intersection on the southern side. They are typical of corner shops that have been providing service to the local clientele since the Inter-War period. Numbers 61-61A and 67 are two-storey shops with residences above. While number 61-61A addresses only Kimberley Road (despite its corner location), number 63 addresses both street frontages by its splayed corner featuring an entrance door with windows on both street facades. Number 63 is a single storey corner shop with a high parapet, a decorative pediment and a suspended corrugated iron awning that turns along both street facades. The two-storey shops also feature suspended corrugated iron awnings along their street facades. Their parapets are simply detailed with inscription depicting their construction date of 1926 and moulded panels. Number 67 has the most decorative parapet with projecting string course supported on dentils while its upper level window placed over crossed panels. All ground floor shop windows and upper storey joinery have been replaced with metal framing and air-condition units fixed above the awnings. It appears that number 61-61A was operating as a local shop until recent years but now it is vacant. Number 63 is enclosed and does not appear to be in operation so is number 67, which is currently vacant. However, number 65 is occupied by a local business.

Physical Condition: All of the shops lack maintenance and are in poor to fair condition possibly owing to their generally vacant state.

Modification Dates: Recommended Retain and maintain its existing form and streetscape presentation. Opportunity exists for Management: improvement of their amenities internally and to make additions to their respective site by retention of the facades in an appropriate manner. Ensure the structural integrity of the facades is not comprimised when making changes to the remainder of the shops.

Further Comments:

Criteria a) This group of shops were built in 1926 on a land that was part of the Kimberley Subdivision made in 1892. They are evidence of the residential expansion and are indicative of retail activities that were required by settlement away from the town centre. They are an evidence of a small shopping precinct. Criteria b) Research to date does not indicate any historical association of importance with the subject shops.

Criteria c) The shops are typical of Inter-War style one and two-storey corner shops that can be seen throughout suburbs of Sydney. They present typical characteristics of humble corner shops of the period that were once the hub and meeting places for the community. Their architectural detailing is rather simple and largely focused on their parapets with construction date inscribed in the centre. Their joinery and ground floor shop windows and fenestration are modified; however, they maintain their overall characteristics. Criteria d) Social significance of a place requires a more detailed study in order to ascertain its value to the local community. It is, however, anticipated that these shops will have some value to the local community as corner shops that were once the community’s hub and meeting places. Many of the local community members would have memories of these local shops. Criteria e) The shops have the potential to provide information on the construction techniques and characteristics of Inter-War Style corner shops. Criteria f) These corner shops are reminders of the mid Inter-War period retail activities that occurred within suburban areas and are becoming rare due to development pressure. Criteria g) This group of corner shops are good representative examples of the Inter-War style corner shops and showing evidence of development growth outside the town centre. Integrity / Intactness: Relatively intact shops with their typical Inter-War characterics still evident.

Statement of Constructed in 1962, Marana Entertainment Centre is of local significance as an evidence of Significance: the local government's activities in provision of educational and cultural facilities to the community. It has aesthetic significance as an example of the 20th Century Stripped Classcial architectural style with steel framed early aluminum facade known as curtain wall. It is also important in demonstrating the work of the well known architectural company Peddle, Thorp and Walker at the time. The Centre has a strong social value to the local community as a cultural and educational facility since the 1960s. Historical Notes The first Hurstville Council was elected in 1887. They met in a number of different temporary or Provenance: buildings for years until the purchase of land on the corner of MacMahon St and Forest Rd and the construction of Council Chambers. These were rebuilt in 1913, and again in 1931 according to the size of the Hurstville Municipality. Finally in the 1950s extra land at the present site of the Civic Centre was purchased for the construction of an entirely new, larger and more up to date administrative complex. Also to be included were entertainment facilities for residents. The first stage was officially opened in June 1962. The Council Chambers and Marana Auditorium complex was designed by the well known architectural company Peddle, Thorp and Walker in 1961. The engineers were Woolacott, Hale & Bond.

Adaptation of the existing facility will significantly aid to the Hurstville Council’s Environmental Sustainability and Social and Cultural Development objectives under the Community Strategic Plan. It is also recommended that the original architects of the Entertainment Centre, Peddle Thorp & Walker, be consulted during the redevelopment of the Civic Centre. It is recommended that incorporation of the existing building in particular its external walls and form within the new civic precinct redevelopment be explored prior to making decision for its complete demolition. The building has heritage and social values that are important for the local community and should be protected under the heritage listing. Archival recording and intepretation strategy should be part of any future redevelopment of the Centre.

Historical Notes The sandstone memorial was erected in 1930 by Thomas V Cross, a Hurstville Council or Provenance: Alderman to commemorate the memory of his son, William Valiere Cross who was killed in action in France in 1916. It notes that he was a resident of Lugarno and "very interested in its welfare". The original proposal stated it would be erected on the corner of Moons Avenue and Lugarno Parade, on land owned by Thomas Cross, which would later be presented to the council. It was moved to its present site sometime after the death of Thomas Cross in 1936. It was moved a short distance (5 metres) again in 1989 when it was dismantled and restored due to damage caused by tree roots. Themes: National Theme State Theme Local Theme 4.

Statement of Historically, the dry stone road foundation appears to date from the early decades of the 19th Significance: century. The roadway thus demonstrates a significant period in the establishment of European settlement in the Hurstville LGA and has high-level local significance for its rarity in this respect. The road has the potential to reveal information which could contribute to a greater understanding of road construction and also has high archaeological significance in this regard.

The road displays important aesthetic components associated with engineering techniques of the 1800s, where the work was labour intensive and the equipment generally crude. The road also displays a number of aesthetically pleasing visual features associated with the presence of sandstone retaining walls and culverts, which contribute to the historical setting. Historical Notes This road is a portion of the first road through the Hurstville and St George area, designed in or Provenance: 1843 by Surveyor General Thomas Mitchell. It allowed the first land access to the Illawarra District, now Wollongong, which was noted for its coal and rich pasture land. The road cut through Hurstville now makes up part of Forest Road. The line of the road to the Illawarra started at the dam over the Cooks River at Tempe, started in 1839 and cut through the forests to a ferry that crossed the Georges River at Lugarno. The convicts who built the dam at Tempe marked and cleared the track that became Forest Road and worked out of a stockade at Cooks River.

Planning for the road occurred at the height of the 1840s Depression. However, having found the remnants of old landing places at his chosen crossing place, Mitchell reported on 18 May 1843 that the ‘road of access to the Georges River’ was marked and recommended the

supply of a punt. On the 15th October 1851, he reported that the punt was nearly ready and asked that a road be cleared along the ridge from the Illawarra side of the river as far as Lugarno. Charles Roman won the tender to operate the manually-operated punt across the Woronora River and collect tolls from the patrons.

The descent to the punt was narrow and difficult and ‘subject to flooding in heavy rain’. The government discontinued the service in 1860 for lack of patronage. Government surveyor John William Deering checked the road from Tempe to Georges River in 1861 and reported that it carried about 150 vehicles a day, most carrying timber. They had almost destroyed the road particularly near Cooks River where ‘storm water pouring down the ruts made by heavily laden drays with narrow wheel bases had formed chasms some eight feet (2.4 metres) deep in places’. Stating that it was beyond repair, he laid out a new line that incorporated part of Rocky Point Road, then known as Range Road. This route was approved and declared a parish road in 1862 that was subsequently managed by a Road Trust – first usually known as Gannon’s Forest Road, then Forest Road. As a result, this portion of original road was no longer used. Themes: National Theme State Theme Local Theme 3. Economy Transport (none)

Assessed Significance: Local Endorsed Significance:

Statement of The Ferry Wharf slipway, stone shed, and associated landscape make the setting for one of Significance: Sydney's early vehicular punts. The view corridor is highly significant, and the surrounding structures contribute to the interpretation of the original ferry route. Historical Notes The original punt crossing of the George’s River closed in 1860 due to the expense of the or Provenance: service and its low patronage. The remains of the ferry wharf and stone shed here related to the later ferry service established in 1887. The shed was built c.1900 and was used for boat repairs and hire until it was substantially altered in the 1950s-60s. This hand winched system had numerous issues until it was replaced with a six car diesel ferry in 1928. By the 1950s this was unable to cope with the volume of traffic and was replaced by a sixteen car ferry in 1961. By 1974, the ferry was no longer necessary due to the opening of the Alford’s Point Bridge, and it ceased running. Themes: National Theme State Theme Local Theme 3. Economy Transport (none)

Statement of Evatt Park is locally significant as it represents a section of the Thomas Lawrence grant, Significance: thereafter operating as a market garden and orchard. It has served consistently as an open recreational space in spite of proposals for other uses. It now forms an important part of the Lugarno cultural and environmental landscape featuring undisturbed natural bushland. Listing excludes the canteen facilities and amenities within the Park. Historical Notes Part of the Thomas Lawrence grant of 120 acres on western side of the peninsula. Much of or Provenance: Lugarno was not developed until the mid-late 20th century. During the 1950s, the 10 hectare area of land now known as Evatt Park, Lugarno was a market garden owned by a Mr.Webb. Prior to that it was known as Connor's Orchard.

In 1951, a section of Webbs Gardens was reserved as Open Space (Recreational Purposes) under the County of Cumberland Planning Scheme. In 1963, the land was sold to Shirley Constructions Pty. Ltd and it appeared to local residents that it would become a housing estate but agitation for the park began and in 1965 the residents, the Lugarno Progress Association and Hurstville Council were successsful in having the area resumed by the State Planning Authority. In November 1965, the park was officially named the H.V. Evatt Memorial Park, after Dr. H.V. Evatt, who was the Member for Barton in the Federal Parliament , the leader of the Australian Labor Party and the first President of the UN General Assembly in 1948 - 1949. Hurstville Council became the trustee and administrator of the park which was about 25 acres in area.

As the market garden had retained the natural slope of the land from Forest Road down to the river, the development of playing fields became an issue. A Council proposal to level the

area using garbage as land fill was opposed by residents and the park remained undeveloped for several years until the playing fields were carved out of the hill by bulldozers. The Council was asked to fill in their test bores as small children had to be rescued from the deep holes. Horses grazed and local residents picked blackberries or fished for carp in the dam.

In October 1969, the Lugarno Public School was able to hold its sports carnival in Lugarno for the first time. Temporary toilets and a water supply were provided for the event. The Lugarno Progress Association publication "This is Lugarno" of June 1971 reported "Hurstville Council has now provided three playing fields, two basketball courts, and a large car parking area. Three clubs, Lugarno-Peakhurst Soccer Club, Peakhurst-Lugarno Rugby Club and Lugarno Sports Club (formerly Lugarno Rugby League Sports Club) have winter ground allocations, whilst girls’ basketball teams utilize the netball courts. St. George Athletic Association is to use the fields during summer."

In October 1972, it was reported that the newly formed St. George Little Athletics Club used the grounds and that Hurstville Council had set out running tracks. A toilet block was opened in May 1973. Cricket practice nets were constructed in the old quarry area in 1978, jointly funded by Hurstville Council, the Lugarno Progress Association and the Lugarno Sports Cricket Club.The Lugarno Lions Club constructed a rockery and entrance gardens in December 1974 and a children’s playground area.

During 1977, Hurstville Council proposed the building of two more playing fields at the lower end of the park, including the old dam. The Lugarno Progress Association opposed the plan and called a public meeting in August 1977 which agreed that the area should be kept for passive recreation. The Lugarno Progress Association and Hurstville Council commissioned Environmental Landscapes Pty. Ltd. to draw up a development plan.

This plan is the basis for works undertaken in 1984 by Hurstville Council using funds provided under the Community Employment Program and the N.S.W. Department of Environment and Planning Green Space Program. A Council statement of February 1984 describes the plan as "An ornamental lake for ducks and waterbirds with a viewing jetty of logs... The old overgrown dam has been dredged and levee banks created, all to be planted with willows and landscaped. Picknickers will find barbecues, picnic furniture and landscaped walking trails in the newly refurbished park. A small manmade stream will run through the area, feeding from the lake."

Hurstville Council commissioned the National Trust to carry out a bushland survey of the Municipality in 1981. The report of the National Trust regarding Evatt Park pointed out the importance of the natural bush section of the park. Themes: National Theme State Theme Local Theme 8. Culture Leisure (none)

Statement of The Railway Lane substation is a rare and representative example of a small yet Significance: monumental purpose designed and built structure designed in the Interwar Functionalist style. It is the fifth of 8 substations built by St George County Council to supply power to the local area. It was commissioned in 1939. Historical Notes The Railway Lane substation is a purpose designed and built structure constructed in 1939. or Provenance: Lettering attached to the parapet reads; 'COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTRICITY SUB-STATION No 20".

The St George County Council (SGCC) was founded in 1920 as a joint electricity supply undertaking of Bexley, Hurstville, Kogarah and Rockdale Councils. This was the first of the County Councils, which were authorised under the Local Government Act 1919 to allow joint undertakings by local councils, which spanned multiple local government areas. The SGCC electricity system was initially supplied with bulk electricity from NSW Department of Railways. Power was generated at White Bay Power Station, which commenced operation in 1913 and was transmitted at 11,000 kV to eight switching points along the St George railway line for suburban distribution.

By 1936, demand in the St George area had increased to the point where additional infrastructure was required. Up until that point, SGCC had fewer than 1000 electricity customers while electricity was used for street lighting throughout the suburbs of St George area. In 1936 an initial system of 8 control substations were proposed to be housed in 'ttractive brick buildings' which would draw power from the railway electricity supply and distribute it to smaller pole, and later, kiosk-style substations. This ultimately expanded to 11

control substations.

The initial 8 were all built near the railway line to draw power from the railway network. Arncliffe, Banksia and Rockdale shared a bulk supply feed from the Railway Department’s substation at Meeks Road, Sydenham. The Kogarah Substation also received its bulk feed from Meeks Road, but via a separate supply line. Allawah, Hurstville, Penshurst and Mortdale were all supplied from a Railway Department transformer at Hurstville. Interconnection with the Sydney region electrical systems began in 1945. The Electricity Commission (Elcom) took control of bulk electricity supply operations on 1/1/1953, but the final disconnection from the railway supply system did not occur until 1961, when the Hurstville substation (SS 10016) was finally disconnected.

The first SGCC substation was built at Allawah in 1936 (SS10014), which was decommissioned in 2004. This was followed by Kogarah (SS 10010 Gray St), Hurstville (SS 10016 Ormande Pde) and Rockdale (SS 10005 Seven Ways) in 1937 and Mortdale (SS10020 Cook St) and Banksia (10002 Hattersley St) in 1938. Substation construction was suspended for nearly a decade due to World War II and its aftermath, although NSW Railways did construct a new substation at Carlton in 1944 to cope with local demand. Arncliffe substation finally commenced operation in 1948 and Penshurst substation (SS10018 Bridge St) in 1951, although the land had been purchased in 1945 and the plans completed in 1949. Further control substations were built at Kingsgrove (1951), Carlton (1954) and Gungah Bay Rd, Mortdale (1955). Elcom completed the Blakehurst Zone Sub in 1964, the same year as the Peakhurst Regional 132/33kV substation, which supplied bulk power to the entire area. In 1936, SGCC had 64 pole substations, supplied by the control subs. By 1979, when SGCC was absorbed into Sydney County Council, that had grown to 653 pole and kiosk substations. Connection to the network and demand for electricity grew sharply from 1960, necessitating a large expansion of infrastructure. By the mid-1970s, growth, and therefore infrastructure expansion had slowed.

Electrical equipment within substations tends to be of a common arrangement. The equipment consists of a high voltage (sometimes referred to as a high tension) switchboard, which receives the bulk power supply at 11,000 kV from a zone substation. This is passed to one or two transformers which will lower the voltage and pass it to a low voltage (or low tension) switchboard for local distribution, typically at 240v for domestic uses. Both switchboards allow portions of the system to be isolated or taken off line to undertake maintenance or correct faults. The interconnection of substations into the energy grid allows sections of the system to be taken off-line without disrupting supply to customers. “Cottage” type or indoor substations were built in the early- to mid-twentieth century when the switching and transformer equipment was quite large. Switch gear often has exposed electrical components, which are dangerous and larger transformers can generate a considerable amount of noise, necessitating a brick enclosure. Typically, the function of an average suburban substation can now be performed by a small kiosk which contains fundamentally similar components to the indoor substations in a much more compact package. Kiosk style substations came into use from the mid-twentieth century and buildings are now only required around the larger electricity installations.

Statement of This group of cottages is of local heritage significance as a representative of the earliest Significance: stages of suburban settlement in the wider municipality and Mortdale in particular. This group of houses is also a rare group of this type across the Hurstville LGA, which remain intact and well maintained. They are part of a relatively small number of Federation period houses remaining in the area. Interiors of the houses are not considered to be critical for the retention of their heritage value. Historical Notes Originally, it was known as Newman’s Paddock in the 1880s and unoccupied, until it was or Provenance: subdivided and sold in 1893-4 as the Morts Township Estate. The more narrow 20 foot (Nos. 15-21) and 30 foot (No. 13) blocks were typical of this subdivision. It is likely much of the estate, although sold was not fully developed until after World War II when residential development of the area began in earnest. This row of houses was constructed c.1910 with the exception of no.13, which was developed after 1920 in the Inter-War period. 15-21 were owned by Miss Elizabeth Charlesworth, before being sold to Albert Wright and Issac Wiley soon after this time. Both men resided locally, but most likely leased these houses. The houses were all later sold individually to different owners. Much of the surrounding area was still not developed by 1943.

Further Comments:

Criteria a) These properties were built on narrow 20 and 30 foot blocks typical of the Mort's Township Estate that was offered for sale in 1893-4. These are some of the few lots that were bought and developed in the Federation period, whilst most remained undeveloped until after World War II when residential development of the area began in earnest. Criteria b) Research to date does not indicate any historical association with a person or groups that are important to the historical development of the area.

Criteria c) The houses are well maintained workers' cottages with their architectural features intact. They are sparsely decorated with few features to distiguish them stylistically, other than wall hung shingles (19 and 21) and some coloured glass window panes (13). Each of them contribute significantly to the streetscape in this section of Mortdale. Criteria d) Social significance of these places requires a more detailed study in order to ascertain their value to the local community. However, it could be anticipated that the houses from the Federation period would provide a historical connection to the local community. Criteria e) The houses have potential to provide information on the construction system and detailing of Federation houses. Criteria f) This group of houses is one of a small number of known collections of this type across the Hurstville LGA which remain intact and well maintained. There are also a relatively small number of Federation period houses Criteria g) The houses are a good representation of this type of residential settlement that took place on a small scale in Mortdale in the Federation period. Integrity / Intactness: The houses are intact externally.

Criteria a) The Mortdale Hotel is locally significant, operating as a hotel on site since its first development in 1929 (as Hotel Stanwell) and is a reflection of continued activity in the area and the value placed on the hotel’s viability by its owners who had relocated from a less profitable location. The construction of the new building after the First World War, despite a decline in hotel facilities around that time, reflects the strength and focus of the hotel. Criteria b)

Criteria c) It is an excellent example of a Inter War Free Classical Style hotel and has high aesthetic significance due to its prominent location on the streetscape of Pitt Street. Criteria d)

Further Comments:

Criteria a) These properties were built on narrow 20 feet blocks typical of the Mort's Township Estate that were offered for sale in 1893-4. These are some of the few lots that were bought and developed in the Federation period, whilst most remained undeveloped until after World War II when residential development of the area began in earnest. Criteria b) Research to date does not indicate any historical association with a person or groups that are important to the historical development of the area.

Criteria c) The houses are well maintained workers' cottages with their architectural features intact. They are sparsely decorated with few features to distiguish them stylistically. Each one of

them contributes significantly to the streetscape in this section of Mortdale.

Criteria d) Social significance of these places requires a more detailed study in order to ascertain their value to the local community. However, it is anticipated that these houses from the Federation period would provide a historical connection to the local community. Criteria e) The houses have potential to provide information on the construction system and detailing of Federation houses. Criteria f) This group of houses is one of a small number of known collections of this type across the Hurstville LGA which remain intact and well maintained. Criteria g) The houses are a good representation of this type of residential settlement that took place on a small scale in Mortdale in the Federation period. Integrity / Intactness: The houses are intact externally, except 53 which has been drastically altered if not replaced.

Statement of Oatley Park is of exceptional local significance as one of few sizeable non-privately owned Significance: waterfront land promontory jutting along the banks of Lime Kiln Bay and Jew Fish Bay of Georges River and as one of Sydney's finest areas of natural bushland that remained undeveloped in an urban area. It has a high importance as a recreational and sporting place to the local and wider community. Proclaimed in 1888 as Peakhurst Park, Oatley Park is noted for its trees, shrubs and native flowers, as well as the river beaches and prolific bird life.

The Park contains a number of historically important elements including the sandstone kiosk and lookout known as 'the Castle' - well known and used by the local community since the early 1910s built by men on work relief schemes during the Great Depression); archaeological remnants of the structures including kitchen, ordinance store and shower block from the WW II military use of the Park; remnants of the cement map of Tasmania with inscription of the 12th Field Company; and the 'Lone Pine' tree near the entrance of the Park.

Oatley Park is also important for its Aboriginal cultural heritage evident along the Lime Kiln Bay area through historic kilns, constructed to exploit the middens in the area. A mixture of native species present in the area prior to European settlement as well as historical plantings of introduced species add to the significant values of the Park.

Oatley Baths were constructed in 1909 and are significant as one of only a few suspended net enclosures and one of only two baths/pools within the Sydney Region formed by enclosing a naturally occurring shoreline feature. The baths have associations with the local swimming club and its members since 1927; and, the shoreline shows evidence of being modified to create an appropriate facility for the use of swimmers and other visitors to the State Heritage Inventory Date: 02/09/2013 Full Report with Images Page 1

baths/pool.

The listing excludes the canteen facilities at the Oval, wharf and amenities (toilets, playground and barbeques, picnic tables and shades). Historical Notes Easily the largest recreational area in the municipality, the 45 hectare Oatley Park is on a or Provenance: promontory jutting into George's River, bounded by Lime Kiln Bay and Jewfish Bay. Access is from Dame Mary Gilmore Road. The land was proclaimed on 29 May 1888 as Peakhurst Park, with Hurstville Council being appointed trustee in 1908. Its name was changed to Oatley Park in 1922. It was and remains one of the few sizable areas of undeveloped waterfront land not privately owned. It is used by visitors all year round - enjoying a variety of recreational and sporting activities

Up until the Great Depression years of 1929-1932, the Park remained in a largely natural state (apart from the earlier development of the Baths). However at this time the Department of Public Works funded and supported an Unemployment Relief Scheme and it was agreed to undertake improvement works within Oatley Park. The road system throughout the Park was constructed and sealed, the idea being to create a scenic road around the foreshores of the Park. The walking track and several scenic lookouts were also built under the Scheme, as was the sandstone kiosk and lookout known as “the Castle”. The fashion of the time was to decorate the bush rather than blend in, hence the significant use of sandstone and the striking nature of the structures. The Oatley Park Castle remains in use, available to hire for private functions, from weddings to corporate functions.

The roads through the Park were named after the Ward Councillors of this time; Aldermen Mallard and Christensen, while Webster’s Look-out was named after the Council Engineer, all of whom were recognised for their contributions in securing the improvements to Oatley Park.

The tracks just below the Castle lead to the Oatley Park Baths. Construction of the Baths was recommended and financed by Council in 1909. In 1935 the Bath area was extended by a Special Lease to an area of 2.63 hectares, and this area remains part of the Park boundary today. Additionally, rockwork along the foreshore, and the construction of dressing sheds and a shark proof net were completed at this time. The landward perimeter of the Baths is named Walkers Promenade, after another Alderman of the time who contributed to the project. The original piles for the shark proof netting and the jetty were constructed from Turpentine logs, cut from a property at Herne Bay, the original name for the suburb now known as Riverwood. The Oatley Amateur Swimming Club was established in 1927 and still utilises the Baths today.

In July 1942, during World War II, Council was advised that an Order under National Security (General) Regulation 54 had been made and that a portion of Oatley Park would be occupied for military purposes. The 26th Field Company of the Royal Australian Engineers (R.A.E.) was moved from Carss Park at Blakehurst to Oatley Park in July 1942. Several temporary structures were assembled to accommodate the soldiers. These included a Mess tent, kitchen, rations tent and quartermaster’s store, a stove and chimney, shower blocks, a store house for engineering and road building equipment, and a canteen made from galvanised iron. By January 1943, most of the soldiers had joined the A.I.F., so the 26th Field Company

was disbanded. In the same month, the Tasmanian 12th Field Company R.A.E. Was stationed in Oatley Park, to be equipped for tropical service. The Unit was posted to New Guinea in July 1943, and Council was later advised by the Australian Military Forces that it intended to cease using Oatley Park in October 1943. Some of the foundations of the kitchen, ordinance store, and shower block remain. A small concrete map of Tasmania was constructed from left over cement for the building foundations, and inscribed, by members of the 12th Field Company. These remnants are still visible and form a valuable record of this period in the Park’s history.

Additional features: "Lone pine" tree The pine tree near the entrance to the park is reputed to to have been grown from seed taken from the Lone Pine area in Gallipoli. This was the site of a major battle during World War I. A group of Turkish Pine trees was cut down by Turkish soldiers to be used as cover for trenches during a battle, leaving one lone pine, later destroyed in the battle. The Australian War Memorial records two soldiers who retrieved pinecones from branches on the battlefield. These were returned to Australia, where a number of seedlings have since been raised and planted as memorials in places such as the Shrine of Remembrance and the Australian War Memorial.

The tree in Oatley Park was planted by Owen John Davies and was grown from a seed he collected from the original Lone Pine tree when it was standing in the middle of the battlefield. The second descendant of the Lone Pine was planted in Horsham Gold Club in Victoria in 1967.

Historic Kilns In the Lime Kiln bay area of the park there are historic kilns, constructed to exploit the middens in the area.

There are a number of built structures within the park, including a sandstone kiosk and lookout known as "The Castle" (1929-1932), which is a single roomed structure accessed via arched openings on 2 sides. It is surrounded by a small open, grassy picnic area.

The Oatley Park Baths are located in Lime Kiln bay, with supporting structures on the foreshore. These include a brick structure containing change rooms and facilities associated with the baths (1935), in addition to rockwork along the foreshore and a shark proof net. The park also features remnants of temporary structures constructed by the military during World War II to accomodate soldiers (1942). These induded Mess tent, kitchen, rations tent and quartermaster’s store, a stove and chimney, shower blocks, a store house for engineering and road building equipment, and a canteen made from galvanised iron.

The park also features a historic planting of a Turkish pine tree, commonly known as Lone Pine. Located at the entrance to the park, this tree is a twin trunked Brutia Pine, and one of only two known descendants of the Lone Pine (Pinus brutia) of Gallipoli. It was planted in 1920 by Owen John Davies, a World War 1 veteran who grew the tree from a seed he collected from the original Lone Pine in Gallipoli.

Physical Condition: The waterfront areas of the park remain largely unaltered. The interior of the park has been developed in some places with pathways and viewing platforms allowing access to patrons, sporting fields and structures associated with its use since 1888. The species present in the park represent a mixture of natives present in the area since prior to European settlement as well as historical plantings of introduced species relating to landscaping and the creation of recreation areas.

The park has European and Indigenous archaeological potential. Indigenous communities are known to have used the area prior to European settlement in the area, and sites associated with the use of the coastal resources are likely. European sites include remnants of Lime Kilns constructed to exploit middens in the area, and the foundations of WW2 era temporary buildings.

Modification Dates: The main period of modification within the Park was Inter-War, 1929-1934. Recommended Maintain significant values of the Park and associated elements as defined in the Statement Management: of Significance.

Statement of Originally built for St John's, Wahroonga, in 1905, the George Fincham Pipe Organ is of local Significance: (even state) significance for its historical, aesthetic and cultural values. It is of historical importance as an example of one of Australia's finest and largest organs building companies. It's an increasingly rare example of an Australian organ from this period still in its original condition. Historical Notes The 1905 George Fincham Pipe Organ, originally built for St John's, Wahroonga, was or Provenance: purchased by the Hurstville Christadelphians in 1961 and moved to its current location between 1986 and 1992 by congregation member John Wright, who has continued to maintain the organ with Lloyd Schwer. The organ was built by George Fincham, one of Australia's finest and largest organbuilding companies and is an increasingly rare example of an Australian organ from this period which is still in original condition. In 2008, the Heritage Branch, NSW Department of Planning, kindly assisted the restoration of the organ with a grant of $21,000. Peter Jewkes and company, along with valuable heritage advice from Dr Kelvin Hastie, undertook the recent restoration work on the organ.

Location: 1 Myall Street, Oatley [Hurstville]

Designer: Maker / Builder:

Year Started: 1905 Year Completed: 1905 Circa: No

Physical Description: The organ is desribed in the Hurstville District Christadelphian Ecclesia's website under the restoration works as below:

"While the instrument is of modest dimension, there was no pressure to make additions, or undertake modifications to provide upperwork. The sound carries very well in what is a small but lofty building: its adequacy for leading singing was ably demonstrated during the hymn festival of 31 October. The tonal quality of each rank is exceptional: especially fine are the two flutes, a superb Swell Violin Diapason, the very delicate and well-voiced Dulciana and Gamba ranks, as well as bright and clear 4’ principals, which compensate for the lack of 2’ tone. In a statement of significance prepared during his documentation of 1985, John Stiller made the following comments:

'This instrument is a very fine example of a Fincham organ and has many outstanding tonal qualities. The Great Claribel is very clear and has a distinct chiff. The Swell Gedact is beautifully mellow and is a characteristic example of skilled voicing of wooden pipes, which is a hallmark of Fincham organs. Overall there is good tonal contrast and definition between the various registers, supported by a solid Pedal Bourdon.'

The personnel involved in the project were: Murray Allan, Rodney Ford, Peter Jewkes, David Morrison, Kornelius Schmidt, Daniel Tiedman and Carmel Grech (office administrator). The organ consultant was Dr Kelvin Hastie OAM and the project manager was Dr Rachel Hocking." (Information obtained from http://www.sydneyorgan.com/HurstvilleChristadelphian.html)

Physical Description: The All Saints Oatley West Anglican Church is a good example of a suburban church built in the Inter-War period. It was constructed of face brick in c1932.

It features a t-shape plan layout owing to its two stages of construction with gabled wings articulated by vertically proportioned and grouped steel-framed windows with decorative glazing, a slender spire with reference to Gothic fleche and a combination of metal deck and tile roofing. The transept facing Woronora Parade appears to feature the auxiliary altar. Set at the corner of Woronora Parade and Woonona Parade West, the church with its landscape setting creates a pleasent contribution to the area.

Physical Condition:

Modification Dates: Recommended The church should be retained and conserved. A Heritage Assessment and Heritage Impact Management: Statement should be prepared for the site prior to any major works being undertaken.

Statement of 78 Woronora Parade in Oatley is a good example of a Victorian Cottage built in c1888 most Significance: likely by builder and developer Myles McRae. It is one of the oldest surviving residences in Oatley West and it housed one of the first Sunday schools of the area. It is contributory to the streetscape featuring characteristic elements of the Victorian cottage including the bullnose verandah roof, cast-iron valance, conical spire roofs to the bays, slate roof with terracotta ridges and faceted bay windows. Some remnants of the original landscape layout is visible. It is representative of Victorian houses of the early Oatley West subdivision. The mature Pine tree is the only significant surviving element of its landscape. Despite a number of changes that have been made to its inteirors and exterior as well as its extended curtilage the overall form and footprint of the house remain the same. The Cottage was also nominated in the 1988 Heritage Study; however, it was mistakenly noted as no.76 Woronora Parade. The description in the 1988 Study notes reflects the architectural features of no. 78. Historical Notes The house "Demerera" was built in c1888 on a part of James Oatley’s original 300 acre grant or Provenance: by builder and developer Myles McRae. There is a possibility that McRae owned the site as early as 1887 (with no house mentioned) and still owned it in 1889 it maybe be the case that he had had the house built before 1889. He was an alderman on Hurstville Council, a Mayor and alderman of Kogarah Council and one of the first trustees of Oatley Park which was first gazetted as Peakhurst Park. He was responsible for much of Oatley West’s subdivisional layout as it appears today after purchasing a number of blocks in the original Oatley grant from intermediary Mr Griffiths and subdividing them into the quarter acre allotments which characterised early Oatley West. This lot was originally bounded by Mulga Road, Woronora Parade, MiMi Street, and Wonoona Parade West. The surrounding blocks were subdivided

and offered for sale as part of the New Oatley Township, adjacent to the new Oatley station in 1890. Although a number of other houses were on the 1890 auction notice, but none are near as large as the 78 Woronora Parade.

Frederick Oatley did have a son named Frederick Oatley. After his death, James’ Oatley St George estate was passed to his son Frederick. Frederick sold the area to Charles Cecil Griffiths on 23 March 1881, for ten thousand pounds. Griffith applied for additional land in 1884. In 1886 the Oatley’s Estate Company was formed. According to Council’s first rate valuation book in 1887 (the first year of Hurstville Council), Myles McRae had already bought significant areas of land, parts of “Oatley’s Grant” from the Oatley’s Estate Company. A house/dwelling is not mentioned here. Council’s rate book of 1888 only shows rated properties for the south (or east) side of Woronora Parade (not McRae’s side of the street). Council rate notices of February 1889 indicate that McRae owned Section 12, lots 1 – 20 and that a house was already built on the site, over two lots, 5-6. The name of the National Building Land and Investment Co is already crossed out, with McRae’s name replacing it indicating that either an error was made, or that McRae had bought the land before February of the same year. The National Land and Investment Co Ltd may have purchased land from Griffiths/ Oatley’s Estate Company but its subdivision auction ad shows that this particular section of land wasn’t for sale. Given the 1889 Valuations notices McRae already owned this site. Hence it wasn’t shown for sale. It was not until 1908 that this block was divided and sold along with the house, now separated from its outbuildings. The residence gave its name to Demerara Road in the Oatley Park estate but this was renamed Park Road. There is also a possibility that the home was known as "Ennerdale" in c.1930, along with "Demerera". The house is one of the oldest standing residences in Oatley West. It also housed one of the first Sunday schools in the area from 1894 until the building of St Peters Church, Mortdale. Publication Oatley in early days, by Dr D.J. Hatton mentions the home being used as a Sunday school. Themes: National Theme State Theme Local Theme 4. Settlement Accommodation (Housing) (none)

Physical Description: The subject property, currently adaptively reused as function centre, comprises the Victorian period house known as "Collaroy" and its garden. The house has been significantly altered internally and added to since the late 1940s with the latest refurbishment undertaken in 2006. Possibly only the facade of the original house remains with limited alterations. The facade features typical Victorian period vertically proportioned double-hung windows with decorative label moulds and corbelled sills symmetrically placed on either side of the high entrance door with fanlight and sidelights and vermiculated stone quoins, and a veranda with ogee roof supported on round Tuscan style columns and sandstone edging to veranda tiles. The western projecting bay also features an original door off the veranda with segmental arch and fanlight and sidelights with leadlight glazing. The house is built of rendered brick, with quoins, it has a jerkin head roof with gable ends featuring timber fretwork detailing. The main form of the house is still recognisable and is similar to that seen in the 1943 aerial.

western bay and front of the dormer windows are 2010 additions. The property has been used as a reception centre and was trading as "Roslyn Gardens" since the 1950s until recently when it is trading as "The Gardens on Forest". The reception centre was extended to the rear in the late 1950’s.

The garden, which comprises a larger area than the original (on the east side), is not laid out in its original form, but follows the same alignment of the original angled entry path to the east (now main entry to 'the Gardens') and similar but wider layout to the west garden at the front of the house. The garden is now made up of a number of paved paths and edged garden beds with large grassed areas and a number of large trees providing shade. A number of trees appear to be remnant of the original garden when compared with the 1943 aerial.

Physical Condition: Well maintained.

Modification Dates: 1950s - Extended to the rear. 2006 & 2010 - extensive refurbishments and renovations in the form of a second storey, and new roof line across the complex. A new verandah was added with classical style coloumns and second storey porches with balustrade.

Although the house has been modified significantly it retains the overall form and original front facade with the veranda. The site is evident of changes due to the needs of the community and example of adaptive reuse since the late 1940s. Criteria b)

Criteria c) The aesthetic quality of the original house has been compromised by the latest additions to the front.

The garden is a significant landscape feature within the immediate area and features some of the remnant trees from the 1940s or earlier.

However, it could be anticipated that the building’s surviving Victorian style elements and its association with "Collaroy" would provide a historical connection to the local community. Use of the site as a reception and function centre since the late 1940s would also be important from the local community's sense of place.

It is a good example of a 1950s modernist educational building. The school is part of Georges River College, which has significantly contributed to the education of the Hurstville LGA. Historical Notes The early history of the site: or Provenance: Source: (http://www.hurstville.nsw.gov.au/History-of-Hurstville.html)

Two of the largest land grants in the Sydney region were granted to Captain John Townson and his brother Robert Townson in 1808, and are in the Hurstville area occuping the school site. The grant to Captain John Townson of 1950 acres includes the present suburb of Hurstville and part of Bexley, while Penshurst, Mortdale and parts of Peakhurst are on land granted to Robert Townson. Captain John Townson was granted a further 250 acres of land in the Kingsgrove and Beverly Hills area in 1809. The Townson brothers were not satisfied with this land as it was not suitable for wool production, and probably did not occupy this land.

The following history has been largely quoted from Georges River College at http://www.penshurstg-h.schools.nsw.edu.au/history.htm

The history of Penshurst Girls High School extends beyond 1955 when classrooms on the present site were first occupied by students who had been transferred mainly from Hurstville Domestic Science School. High school education in this area dates back to 1917 when they attended Hurstville School of Household Arts, a part of Hurstville Primary School. In 1923 the

school was renamed Hurstville Girls’ School and provided education for girls wishing to receive a secondary education in the St George area from Bexley to Helensburgh in the south, to Cronulla in the east.

In 1935, the school separated from the Primary School. However, plans were underway for the provision of a new secondary school, a file on the school indicating that in December 1952 ‘A block of land has been procured for the purpose of a central domestic science school at Penshurst.’ However, the following remark was also included ‘It is unlikely that the department will be in a position to proceed with the erection of this school for some considerable time to come.’

Funds were short for the building of the school on the three and a half acre site. In 1941 sketch plans were sought. Accommodation was to include: 13 classrooms, 2 science rooms and labs, 2 art rooms, Library, Assembly/gymnasium, 3 kitchen/laundry, 1 typing room, 3 needlework rooms, Staff rooms, Canteen, 1 cottage flat, and Caretaker cottage.

The approximate cost was £150,000. It was hoped that the proximity of Penshurst Park could be used for sport purposes, compensating for the size of the school. The foundation; however, was laid almost 13 years later. Students were brought by train from Allawah and crowded into the assembly hall at Penshurst Primary School. The building was completed late in 1954 and in February 1955 the school took in its first students. The official opening took place on 1st July 1955. The school celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2005.

In 2000, the New South Wales Government decided to buy the educational site at Oatley from the University of New South Wales. After a community consultative process, the Department of Education and Training established Georges River College. Four Campuses comprise the College: Hurstville Boys 7-10, Peakhurst 7-10, Penshurst Girls 7-10 and Oatley Senior Campus 11-12.

Prior to the construction of the Penshurst Girls High School the site bounded by Forest Road, and Penshurst and Austral Streets, was occupied by a substantial house with out buildings and landscaped gardens occupying the entire land that is currently makes up the School grounds.

Assessed Significance: Local Endorsed Significance:

Statement of This Avenue of Hills Fig trees are of local significance for their historical, cultural and Significance: aesthetic values. They represent the street planting schemes in the era between 1920 and 1940. They are most substantial and culturally significant street trees within Hurstville LGA. They are important elements in the streetscape with the creation of exceptional qualities of shade and form. They create an avenue that is important in the establishment of the streetscape character. Historical Notes These trees appear to be Ficus macrocarpa var. hillii (Hills Fig), an Australian native species or Provenance: very popular in parks and streets from the 1920's onwards.

Hills Figs are the trees lining the major pedestrian avenue through Hyde Park in Sydney. The City of Sydney intends to replant the avenue with new Hills Figs to replace those planted in the 1920s which are succumbing to fungal diseases. Hills Fig can produce magnificent arching canopies as seen in Hyde Park, Dacey Avenue and Moore Park. However, this species may have some structural problems such as bark inclusions and root systems which can be very invasive and cause damage to drains and walls if not restricted. Regular maintenance is therefore required. Themes: National Theme State Theme Local Theme 4. Settlement Towns, suburbs and village (none)

Assessed Significance: Local Endorsed Significance:

Statement of Penshurst Railway Station Group - including its 1905 weatherboard platform building, 1926 Significance: steel footbridge and stairs, and c.1926 brick overbridge - is of local heritage significance for its early 20th century structures demonstrating the development of the Illawarra Line in this period, and for its role as a transport hub for Penshurst since 1905.

The station is of aesthetic significance as a representative collection of structures demonstrating standard NSW Railways designs of the early 20th century. The 1905 weatherboard platform building, together with the platform building at Oatley Station, is now considered to be a rare example in the metropolitan Sydney, reflecting the semi-rural nature of the area when it was built. Historical Notes The first single line from Hurstville to Sutherland was opened in 1885 and built by the private or Provenance: contractors C. and E. Miller. In 1886 the first Penshurst Station with two side platforms was built just northwards of the present station site.

By 1892, real estate in the area was being sold on the basis of its proximity to the railway station. A post office opened in 1902 at Penshurst Railway Station.

Due to the new deviation double track built in 1905, the present station with its brick island platform was built at its current location to better serve the rapidly growing settlement in Penshurst. The platform building is a standard timber type similar to the only other example in the metropolitan area at Oatley. In 1912 the platform was lengthened.

In 1926 the line was electrified and signal updated to electric light. It is possible that the steel Dorman Long & Co footbridge structure was constructed around this time. The Bridge Street/The Strand overbridge which crosses the western end of the station platform also appears to be c.1920s.

In 1940 a timber overhead booking and parcel office was built on the existing steel footbridge having steel stairs to the platform.

In 2006-2007 further changes were made, including provision of a lift to the platform, remodelling of the overhead booking office, extension of the stair canopies along the platform and opening up of part of the central area of the platform building for waiting passengers.

Further Comments:

Criteria a) Penshurst Railway Station is of historical significance as its early 20th century structures demonstrate the development of the Illawarra Line in this period and for its role as a transport hub for Penshurst since 1905. Penshurst Railway Station was relocated and rebuilt in 1905 for a new deviation double track line. Criteria b) The footbridge and stairs have historical association with Dorman Long & Co engineers (renowned as the engineers of the Sydney Harbour Bridge).

Criteria c) The weatherboard platform building is of aesthetic significance as a representative of standard island platform building of the early 20th century rail infrastructure. Criteria d) Social significance of the place requires a more detailed study to ascertain its value for the local community. However, the Station has the potential to contribute to the local community's sense of place, and can provide a connection to the local community's past. Criteria e) The platform building has potential to provide information on the construction techniques of weatherboard railway station buildings of the early 20th Century. Criteria f) The weatherboard 1905 platform building is considered a rare extant example of a weatherboard platform building of this period in a metropolitan Sydney reflecting the semi- rural nature of the area when it was built (the only other example in a metropolitan Sydney is at Oatley). Criteria g) The 1905 platform and platform building, 1926 footbridge and stairs, and 1926 brick overbridge are representative of early 20th century NSW Railways structures. Integrity / Intactness: The footbridge structure, platform and platform building, and overbridge are relatively intact.
