6.4.2 General heritage impact assessment Generally, the potential for adverse heritage impacts resulting from the project in the Homebush area arises from visual impacts on the setting of listed heritage items and conservation areas from temporary construction sites, including site hoardings and works, and new permanent infrastructure associated with the roadway including widened roadways, noise barriers and buildings and facilities. There would be no direct physical impacts on heritage items in Homebush.

The continued use of the existing at-grade carpark under the M4 as a carpark would not have an impact on the Bakehouse Quarter (former Arnott’s complex), as no works are proposed. The proposed Powells Creek civil site (C4) would be divided from the Bakehouse Quarter by the existing M4 and would also not have any impact on this heritage item. 6.4.3 Detailed heritage impact assessments Heritage Conservation Areas Welfare Street Heritage Conservation Area – Welfare Street and Flemington Road, Homebush Image

Street trees Edward Street Concord Local Canada Bay Partial LEP 2013 (Item demolition no. I182) 6.5.2 General heritage impact assessment Generally, the potential for adverse heritage impacts resulting from the project in Area 2 – North Strathfield and Concord derives from the demolition of existing heritage items and contributory items within the HCA, and encroachment on the setting of other heritage items, to make way for the Concord Road interchange, which would comprise new permanent infrastructure including dive structures, cut-and-cover tunnels, driven tunnels, noise barriers and buildings and facilities.

Physical impacts would result from the demolition of buildings and removal of significant trees in addition to possible damage from the effects of vibration. Visual impacts would arise from the establishment of works sites during construction, demolition of heritage items within the setting of other heritage items and conservation areas, and permanent infrastructure such as new tunnel ramps, ancillary facilities and noise walls.

The proposed cycleway ramp along Queen Street, North Strathfield, from Parramatta Road to the M4 would not have an impact on the railway bridge with Arnott’s sign (item 12), an item of local heritage significance. The cycleway would be predominantly on the northern side of Queen Street, set back from the Parramatta Road cutting at the bridge, and would not obstruct significant views to the bridge.

6.5.3 Detailed heritage impact assessment Heritage conservation areas Powell’s Estate Heritage Conservation Area – Queen, Carrington and Sydney Street, North Strathfield Image

Description Victorian period subdivision featuring a regular layout and uniform allotments. Houses from all periods from the 1880s to the 1940s are represented. Notable Victorian survivors include a few modest villas and smaller cottages. Despite some loss of integrity major elements persist.

Setting The Powell’s Estate has regular sized allotments on a rectilinear street layout. Street trees provide amenity to the area. Lanes now allow vehicular access to the rear of the allotments.

Scale Single storey housing is dominant. A few one and a half and two storey houses are located on double allotments. A notable one and a half storey group faces Concord Road.

Form The houses in this conservation area include free standing and semidetached forms. Most have a simple rectilinear footprint to the main front wing and incorporate a verandah in the street elevation. Roofs are usually hipped, sometimes incorporating a gable as a feature.

Siting Front setbacks are reasonably uniform along each street. Some larger houses have greater setbacks. Side setbacks are small, possibly as a result of the small allotments.

Materials and colours Rendered masonry is used for most of the Victorian houses and is complemented by slate roofs (where the original roofing survives). Later houses are face brick with tiled roofs. There are a small number of weatherboard houses with corrugated steel roofs.

Powell’s Estate Heritage Conservation Area – Queen, Carrington and Sydney Street, North Strathfield Doors and windows Windows are vertically proportioned usually with timber double hung sashes. Some of the Victorian houses incorporate bay window elements. A few later homes have sets of timber casement sashes. Front doors usually incorporate a toplight and, in larger homes, sidelights.

Car parking The rear lanes provide access for parking at the rear of the properties.

Fencing Few original fences survive. Iron palisades might be expected for some of the larger Victorian houses. Smaller cottages could be expected to have timber picket fences. Later houses appear to have used brick fencing with low brick panels between brick piers.

Landscape elements including paving and driveways Front gardens are dominated by lawns with plantings of low shrubs.

The area significance retains considerable historical significance. (Source: NSW State Heritage Inventory) Impact type Partial demolition Heritage The proposed tunnel alignment and the Concord Road interchange take in a number of impact the residential properties located on the northern side of Sydney Street, between assessment Concord Road and Queen Street. These properties are located within the southern section of the Powell’s Estate HCA.

Project works within the Powell’s Estate HCA would include:  realignment of Concord Road  a cut-and-cover tunnel, dive structures and driven tunnels  a substation  temporary construction ancillary facility (C5).

These works would require the demolition of 11 dwellings within the Powell’s Estate HCA, including:  68, 70 and 72 Concord Road  9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 23 Sydney Street.

The Canada Bay Development Control Plan (DCP) identifies contribution of each building in the Powell’s Estate HCA to its heritage values. The buildings are assessed as being contributory, neutral (a place within a HCA that does not contribute to or detract from its heritage significance) or intrusive (a place within a HCA that detracts from its heritage significance) to the overall character of the Powell’s Estate HCA.  68 Concord Road – contributory  70 Concord Road – contributory  72 Concord Road – contributory  9 Sydney Street – infill development, (intrusive)  11 Sydney Street – contributory  13 Sydney Street – contributory  15 Sydney Street – contributory  17 Sydney Street – contributory  19 Sydney Street – contributory  21 Sydney Street – contributory

Powell’s Estate Heritage Conservation Area – Queen, Carrington and Sydney Street, North Strathfield  23 Sydney Street – contributory.

Of the 11 buildings proposed to be demolished, 10 have been identified as contributory, and the properties at 11 and 23 Sydney Street are also individually listed heritage items. Overall, the proposed works would have a major adverse impact on the heritage significance of the Powell’s Estate HCA with the loss of 11 dwellings, including two heritage items of local significance listed on the Canada Bay LEP 2013.

The works would impact on the heritage significance of the Powell’s Estate HCA, which is embodied in its late Victorian and Federation period dwellings and its intact subdivision layout, which have aesthetic and historical significance. The project would result in the loss of a number of aesthetically distinctive and rare Victorian-era houses in the Canada Bay LGA, as well as intact representative examples of Federation and early post-war development in this area. The demolition of these dwellings would impact on the legibility of the original subdivision and reduce its integrity. The laneway which runs between the Sydney Street and Carrington Street properties would be retained.

The works would have an impact on the Sydney Street and Concord Road streetscapes where the houses would be demolished, as these houses contribute to the streetscape. The proposed distribution substation at the corner of Sydney Street and Concord Road would further impact on the character and setting of the heritage conservation area.

The project would have potential visual impacts on the Powell’s Estate HCA. In particular, the demolition of the 11 dwellings would diminish the visual coherence of the conservation area and remove buildings and landscapes that contribute to the significant historical and visual context of the remaining HCA buildings.

At the conclusion of the project the land acquired along the northern side of Sydney Street would be residual land. If the land is to be redeveloped for residential purposes in the future, consideration should be given to its historical context. Future residential development along Sydney Street should respect the scale, form and pattern of subdivision development, in accordance with the provisions of Canada Bay LEP and DCP, to minimise the impacts on individual heritage items and the Powell’s Estate HCA. The impacts of the demolition of residential properties could be partially mitigated by well-designed infill development, as it would at least interpret the historical form and layout of the HCA, however this would be subject to future development and planning assessment and approval as needed.

Two of the figs are located in the carpark area and could potentially be affected by the temporary use of this area for workforce parking; however, these impacts could be avoided by providing protection to the trees in accordance with the advice of a suitably qualified and experienced arborist. The St Lukes Park entry gates would not be affected by the works.

6.7 Area 4 – Haberfield and Ashfield 6.7.1 Heritage context Overview The entirety of the suburb of Haberfield, from Dobroyd Canal (Iron Cove Creek) to Hawthorne Canal and north-west to Iron Cove, is listed as a HCA on the Ashfield LEP 2013. It is Australia’s first fully planned and developed garden suburb – the vision of real estate entrepreneur and town planning advocate, Richard Stanton, who planned and designed the suburb. The HCA is highly intact, with the form, materials, scale and setbacks of the predominantly brick Federation and interwar period houses and their landscaped gardens, and the suburb’s tree-lined streets providing consistent and aesthetically significant streetscapes. While the high traffic volumes of Wattle Street detract from the pleasant suburban qualities in the western area of the conservation area, the buildings along it remain intact and many are listed as heritage items. The commercial buildings along Parramatta Road provide a buffer between the garden suburb and this high-traffic road. Haberfield also includes Yasmar, a State Heritage Register listed mid-nineteenth century villa and garden estate at 185 Parramatta Road.

The area of Ashfield between Chandos and Orpington streets is characterised by a mix of development – ranging from 1890s terrace houses to contemporary commercial developments, particularly caryards. There is a consistent interwar bungalow streetscape on the western side of Chandos Street, including two heritage items, while Orpington Street is defined by Ashfield Park to the east. The Parramatta Road streetscape in this area does not include any properties listed as heritage items, but features a mix of 1890s terraces and houses and interwar Art Deco flats, interspersed with industrial buildings and caryards. Heritage items and conservation areas The tables below sets out the listed heritage items and conservation areas in Area 4 – Haberfield and Ashfield. The locations of these items are shown in Figure 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7.

Haberfield N/A Haberfield Local Ashfield LEP Partial Heritage (potential 2013 demolition Conservation State Area significance) 6.7.2 General heritage impact assessment The potential for heritage impacts resulting from the project in the Haberfield area would arise from the demolition of heritage items and contributory items within the Haberfield HCA and the construction of new motorway infrastructure, including dive structures, cut-and-cover tunnels, tunnels, noise barriers, ventilation facilities and ancillary motorway buildings and services. Direct physical impacts would result from the demolition of buildings and gardens. Visual impacts would arise from new motorway infrastructure and the loss or reduction of significant streetscapes. Temporary visual impacts would also result from the establishment of work sites (C7, C8 and C9) during construction.

Although localised in the section of the HCA around Wattle Street, Northcote Street and Wolseley Street, the impact of the project on the heritage significance of the Haberfield HCA and individual heritage items within it would be major and unable to be effectively mitigated.

In Ashfield, the potential for heritage impacts would arise from the demolition of heritage items and construction of new motorway infrastructure, including dive structures, cut-and-cover tunnels, driven tunnels, noise barriers and a civil construction site (C10) in the vicinity of heritage items, and possible damage from the effects of construction vibration. The M4 East alignment has been modified to avoid direct impacts on Ashfield Park. 6.7.3 Detailed heritage impact assessments State heritage register items Yasmar – 185 Parramatta Road, Haberfield Image

Yasmar – 185 Parramatta Road, Haberfield

Description Remnant Estate and Grounds The estate/garden is approached through Italianate-style sandstone gateposts, with Gothic recesses, and topped with a ball motif. 'Yasmar 185' and 'Yasmar 183' are painted on the post in black and gold paint. The remaining portion of the iron palisade fence also survives. The entrance has been widened to accommodate prison trucks as has the driveway generally, which has reduced the earlier border planting along the carriageway.

The entrance drive with flanking shrubberies and central carriage loop (in actual fact an oval) of a mid-nineteenth century large suburban villa are well planted and complement a fine contemporary house. A winding drive leads from an impressive iron and sandstone entrance gateway, to an irregularly shaped carriage loop consisting of a roughly triangular shrubbery and an oval flower garden. The drive and loop are asymmetrically planned, curved for maximum length, screening and visual effect.

The carriageway turns around a tear drop shaped garden that is landscaped with modern plantings of shrubs and roses. It is likely that the planting within the carriageway circle was originally simply grassed with one or two feature trees. A depression within this area may have been an early water feature.

Garden The garden, established by the Learmonths dates from the Gardenesque, early Victorian period.

Archaeological remains of the dividing garden wall have been located towards the stables.

The diversity of plant material, particularly those indigenous to Queensland, is attributed to the association with Edward Pierson Ramsay, who was an active member of the Royal Horticultural Society of NSW. Today many of the special and rare trees planted have grown to maturity, examples being the Chilean wine/coquito palm (Jubaea chilensis), Bunya pines (Araucaria bidwillii), figs (Moreton Bay fig, Ficus macrophylla and Port Jackson fig, F.rubiginosa), kauris (Queensland kauri, Agathis robusta and New Zealand kauri, A. australis) and fire wheel trees (Stenocarpus sinuatus), black bean trees (Castanospermum australe), brush box (Lophostemon confertus), pepperberry

Yasmar – 185 Parramatta Road, Haberfield (Cryptocarya obovata) and cabbage tree palm (Livistona australis). Many of these species are uncommon in gardens, some are very rare. The New Zealand kauri is one of perhaps 6 mature such trees recorded growing in Australian gardens (Stuart Read, pers.comm., 31/12/2013).

One nationally-rare tree growing at Yasmar (one of only 22 known in Australia) is the palo alto tree (Picconia excelsa), a 'cloud forest' or rainforest tree from the Canary Islands and Azores. This species is endangered in the wild due to land-clearing. Other specimens are in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne, Geelong and Sydney and select gardens such as Denham Court, Camden Park and Cooma Cottage, in NSW. The presence of such species in this garden give an indication of the level of horticulture practised by the Ramsays and Learmonths, and their connections (Stuart Read, pers.comm., 10/10/2012).

Another is the puzzle bush (Ehretia rigida) from South Africa – this is the only specimen in a NSW garden apart from one in Camden Park estate's garden (Stuart Read, pers.comm., 31/12/13).

The garden beds below the verandah of the house also appear to be a recent addition as it was not common practice to plant gardens close to verandah at the time of the original layout of the garden. The land near the entry steps has been raised.

To the west of the carriageway is a rectangular, sunken masonry-lined (terraced) pit with brick detailing on the bottom, an ornate coping and end piece and benches on either side. Some sources suggest that this was a very early 'swimming pool', however this could not be confirmed nor have other suggestions that it may have been a sunken conservatory or a shade house. The pit is now used a sunken garden but retains water and a pump was installed to remove the water, however this was taken from the site soon after installation. The brick sides appear to be bowing into the void and structural advice should be sought.

Above the 'pool' there was a recent timber pergola (since collapsed and removed) but around this site is evidence of remains of timber posts and brick footings from previous structures.

The whole area is densely planted with trees and shrubs, many of which could be presumed to be original or early (ie 1850s–90s). Other large trees and shrubs are likely the progeny of original or early plantings. The largest trees are the Moreton Bay figs, bunya, hoop and kauri pines and several camphor laurels (Cinnamomum camphora). The garden may have been planned and planted by Edward Pierson Ramsay of the Drummoyne Plant Nursery.

An overgrown structure to one side of the drive appears to have been a sunken conservatory or shade house - a rectangular masonry pit with benches to either side. It is now covered by a later pergola. An unsympathetic timber annex has been built close by (Survey of Gardens in NSW - National Trust of Australia (NSW), 1981). (Source: Edited, NSW State Heritage Inventory) Significance State Statement of The site of Yasmar survives as a rare example of a suburban villa in its garden setting significance that remains in a relatively intact condition. Yasmar is the only relatively intact villa house estate remaining on Parramatta Road, the oldest roadway in Australia, commenced in 1792. Other great estate houses in the vicinity no longer exist - Annandale 1808, Elswick 1805-25, Dobroyde, Ashfield Park 1820s. The house, stables and garden survive in layout and in relation to each other as originally intended. For these reasons the site is rare. The garden has historic and aesthetic value as a now very rare example of the

WestConnex M4 East 6-50 WestConnex Delivery Authority Non-Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment

Yasmar – 185 Parramatta Road, Haberfield Gardenesque style surviving close to the city on a major arterial road and retaining connection with its original residence. The existing remnant garden allows an understanding both of the kind of setting thought appropriate to persons of wealth and taste and of this style's principles. The garden has historic, aesthetic, social and scientific significance for its purposeful layout in relation to the house and outbuildings, range of remnant vegetation and formal entrance gates on Parramatta Road. The gateposts, gates and curved carriageway leading to the turning circle survive in near original condition. The scale of the surviving, now mature, garden marks it a landmark feature along Parramatta Road. The garden's scale and diversity of planting make it an important element in the Haberfield and Ashfield townscape; a welcome contrast to later commercial development along Parramatta Road. Many examples of the garden's vegetation have high individual significance as well as being physical evidence of nineteenth century practices. The olives may be derived from William Macarthur's Nursery at Camden Park. The garden has associational links with David Ramsay, his son Edward Pierson Ramsay and Alexander Macleay, the latter two being founders of the Linnaean and the Australian Flora & Horticultural Societies. Yasmar's house has historic, aesthetic and social significance at state level. It is a rare example of John Bibb's residential work. The property has strong associations with Simeon Lord, the Ramsay Family and GJN Grace. The house was used as a Sunday School in 1860's, the first home Sunday School for the Presbyterian Church in New South Wales. This led onto the establishment of a week day school in the church hall, c 1866, and subsequently Haberfield School in 1907. The use of the house as a children’s court and in association with the remand centre and its school, has been a significant public use of the building. (Source: NSW State Heritage Inventory) Impact type Setting Heritage Construction of the project would have a minor adverse impact on Yasmar as it would impact result in changes to its setting along Parramatta Road. No works are proposed within assessment the listed curtilage of Yasmar. Works which would impact on the setting of Yasmar as it is viewed from vantage points along Parramatta Road include:  the Parramatta Road civil site (C10), albeit it is located on the opposite side of the road  a cut-and-cover tunnel and dive structure for the Parramatta Road interchange  realignment of the westbound lanes of Parramatta Road  new street trees and landscaping around the Parramatta Road interchange.

The significance of the house and garden as a rare, intact villa estate along Parramatta Road would not be directly affected by the project as there would be no physical impacts to Yasmar itself. The historically significant accessway (carriage drive) from Parramatta Road and its formal entrance gates would also be retained.

However, the complex of roads and tunnel dives proposed in front of Yasmar would increase its separation from the historical road it once faced. The tunnel dive structures would be immediately to the southeast of the property’s Parramatta Road boundary.

The project would have potential visual impacts on Yasmar. These impacts, as identified in the Urban Design, Landscape Character and Visual Assessment (UDVIA) (AECOM 2015), would comprise the widening of Parramatta Road to accommodation additional traffic lanes and the cut and cover and dive sections of the tunnel along this section of the road. In addition new landscaping proposed in association with these works has the potential to obscure views of the Yasmar property, its gardens, front fence and entrance gates. These are currently visually prominent landmark elements in the streetscape. It was concluded that a more low scale landscape treatment in this area, preferably without trees, would help minimise this impact.

Local and Section 170 heritage items – Haberfield Dobroyd Stormwater Channel No. 53 Image

View of Reg Coady reserve, between Dobroyd Parade and the Dobroyd Stormwater Channel. Description The Dobroyd SWC discharges into Iron Cove just to the west of Dobroyd Point in conjunction with the local street drainage systems. It serves the suburbs of Haberfield, Leichhardt, Burwood, Croydon and Ashfield, a total of 800 hectares. The main open channel ends near the intersection of Carshalton and Norton Streets. Along the way, main underground branches take off to the Ashfield, Burwood and Haberfield areas, whilst two smaller underground branches extend west from the main open channel. The SWC has been upgraded by replacing the original brick forms with reinforced concrete in most sections. The remaining heritage fabric survives under the railway tracks between Thomas and Hunt Streets. It had a U-shaped cross section 3.66m x 3.05m. The brickwork was laid in English bond on the sides and stretcher bond on the bottom. It originally extended for a length of 714 metres from Thomas Street to Hunt Street. The length under the railway has been retained in service as a permanent record of the construction skills of the period. The Ashfield Branch is mainly covered or piped underground and joins the main open channel near Heighway Ave. The first length of some 185 metres was also constructed in brick work with and oviform cross section 1.52m x 1.22m. It is evident across several suburbs where it remains as an open channel. It passes through several different types of areas including parks and playing fields, residential areas and adjacent to roads.

Dobroyd Stormwater Channel No. 53 Statement The Dobroyd Stormwater Channel is a representative example of one of the first of stormwater channels built in the 1890's to alleviate the City's severe public health significance problems. It still includes a length of brickwork drain illustrating the construction skills of the time. Overall the different sections, built at various times, illustrate the progress and improved construction methods made over a period of 100 years. It is of particular historical significance as it was one of a group of the first nine purpose built stormwater drains to be constructed in Sydney in the 1890's. Prior to this period the water courses which served to carry stormwater were entirely in their natural state and were receptacles of sewage from the large population which had settled in the suburbs. In 1890, the then minister for Public Works, the Hon. Bruce Smith MLA., appalled at the extremely unhealthy conditions prevailing at the time, proposed a separate system of stormwater drains be built to help alleviate the problem. By 1897 nine stormwater channels had been built including Dobroyd. (Source: NSW State Heritage Inventory) Impact type Setting Heritage Widening of Dobroyd Parade north of Waratah Street would have a minor adverse impact impact on Dobroyd Stormwater Channel as it would encroach on the setting of one of assessment the open sections of the channel. The proposed widening of Dobroyd Parade would include a batter and footpath within the current space of Reg Coady Reserve and, consequently, reduce the amount of open landscape on the southern side of the canal for approximately 50 metres. This would be a minor adverse impact on the setting of the canal. The works have the potential to impact on the fabric of the canal, which is reinforced concrete in this section. This impact could be avoided by providing protection to the channel in accordance with the advice of a suitably qualified civil engineer.

Heritage conservation areas – Haberfield Haberfield Heritage Conservation Area – Image

Description Haberfield differs from the Victorian inner suburbs which preceded it because it comprises generous suburban allotments which contain one house only. It is characterised by a uniform pattern of development: roads are of a regular width with the original tree planting remaining on many of the verges; because a drainage and sewerage system was in place at the back of the lot before building began there is a lack of night-soil back lanes; lots are of similar width and allowed fresh air to flow between the buildings; and length of lots vary where the street pattern diverges in response to the alignment of earlier roads – Parramatta Road, Ramsay Street and other tracks on the Dobroyd Estate. (Source: Ashfield Council, Interim Development Assessment Policy 2013 – Part C7 Haberfield Heritage Conservation Area) Significance Local (potential State) Statement Haberfield has historic significance as the first successful comprehensively planned and of marketed garden suburb in Australia. Designed and developed by real estate significance entrepreneur and town planning advocate, Richard Stanton, its subdivision layout and tree lined streets, its pattern of separate houses on individual lots (the antithesis of the unhealthy crowded inner suburbs of the period) and its buildings and materials, clearly illustrate his design and estate management principles. Haberfield pre-dates the first garden suburbs in Britain by some five years.

It is significant in the history of town planning in NSW. The separation of land uses, exclusion of industry and hotels, designation of land for community facilities and its comprehensive provision of utility services and pre-development estate landscaping profoundly affected housing trends, state subdivision practice and planning legislation in twentieth century Australia.

It is significant in the history of Australian domestic architecture for its fine ensemble of Federation houses and their fences, and shops, most with their decorative elements intact.

It is outstanding for its collection of modest Federation houses displaying skilful use of materials and a high standard of workmanship of innovative design and detail particularly reflective of the burgeoning naturalistic spirit of the Federation year in which they were built.

The form, materials, scale and setback of buildings and their landscaped gardens fronting tree lined streets together provide mature streetscapes of aesthetic appeal. Haberfield is a major research repository of the Federation era, garden design and plant

(Source: Ashfield Council, Interim Development Assessment Policy 2013 – Part C7 Haberfield Heritage Conservation Area) Impact type Partial demolition Heritage The proposed Wattle Street interchange, Parramatta Road ventilation facility and three impact construction sites (C7, C8 and C9) would be located within the north-western section of assessment the Haberfield HCA.

The project works which would impact on the Haberfield HCA include:  realignment of Wattle Street to the south  a 5 metre noise barrier along the southern side of the realigned Wattle Street, and Dobroyd Parade southwest of Crane Avenue  a cut-and-cover tunnel and dive structures  driven tunnels  the eastern ventilation facility and ancillary motorway buildings and facilities  the Northcote Street tunnel site (C7)  the Eastern ventilation facility site (C8)  the Wattle Street and Walker Avenue civil site (C9)  landscaping around the Wattle Street interchange.

The interchange and ventilation facility works would directly impact all properties on the southern side of Wattle Street between Parramatta Road and Martin Street, and 15 properties along the northern side of Walker Avenue (12 of the Walker Avenue properties would be demolished, while the three properties at 42, 44 and 46 Walker Avenue would have their rear fences and a portion of their backyards removed). A landscaped buffer of varying width would be provided between the realigned southbound lanes of Wattle Street and the rear boundaries of the remaining properties along Walker Avenue. Four properties along Northcote Street and two along Wolseley Street would be demolished for the Northcote Street tunnel site (C7). All properties along the eastern side of Parramatta Road between Wolseley Street and Walker Avenue would also be demolished, but these are not included within the Haberfield HCA.

The tangible heritage values of Haberfield HCA are embodied in its highly intact streets of detached and semi-detached dwellings of consistent setback, scale and materials, set within landscaped gardens, as well as its subdivision pattern and landscape character.

In total, the works would require the demolition of 53 properties within the Haberfield HCA, including:  4–4A, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22 Walker Avenue (western side)  1A, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13–15, 17, 19, 21, 21A, 23–25, 27, 29–31, 33, 35, 37–39, 41– 43, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53 and 53A Wattle Street (eastern side)  156, 158, 160, 162 and 164 Ramsay Street (southern side)  253, 255, 257 and 259 Ramsay Street (northern side)  42, 44 and 46 Martin Street (southern side)  23 Martin Street (northern side)  1 and 3 Northcote Street (southern side)  2A and 4 Northcote Street (northern side)  1 and 3 Wolseley Street (southern side).

Of the 53 properties proposed to be demolished within the Haberfield HCA, 29 have been identified as contributory, six as neutral and seven as intrusive. Eleven of the 53 properties are individually listed as heritage items. Most of the contributory items and heritage items to be demolished are intact examples of Australian Federation style

Haberfield Heritage Conservation Area – bungalows and duplexes (most with their decorative elements intact), and have landscaped gardens. Two of the suburb’s intact tree-lined streets would also be affected. All of these elements contribute to the heritage values of the conservation area.

Notwithstanding that these impacts would be localised in the section of the conservation area around Wattle Street, the demolition of this number of individually listed and contributory items would result in a major adverse impact on the heritage significance of the Haberfield HCA, Australia’s first comprehensively planned and marketed garden suburb.

The project would impact on the legibility of the original subdivision layout designed by Richard Stanton. The original design is evident in the existing street layout and the pattern of the freestanding and semi-detached houses. The project would effectively fragment the suburb, with the area north of Wattle Street separated from the remainder of the conservation area, and interrupt the consistently-spaced street and subdivision pattern. The existing traffic volumes along Wattle Street have this effect on the conservation area to some degree, but the project would exacerbate the fragmentation and make it permanent.

This fragmentation may also have an impact on the social significance of the Haberfield HCA, particularly for the residents who live north of Wattle Street who would be visually and spatially separated from the remainder of the suburb by the project.

The demolition of residential properties on the east side of Wattle Street for the development of the the Wattle Street interchange would also result in the truncation of Allum Street, which would have a minor impact on the historical arrangement of this road within the Haberfield HCA.

The project would have potential visual impacts on the Haberfield HCA. In particular, these impacts would arise from the demolition of 53 dwellings. The 2015 UDVIA found that the project would result in high visual impacts within the Haberfield Precinct associated with:  Change in the visual character of Walker Avenue associated with acquisition of houses on the western side of the street thereby reducing the symmetry of the street  Increased proximity of houses on the western side of Walker Avenue to Wattle Street when they were previously separated by a row of housing  Visual prominence of the ventilation facility and associated infrastructure on the corner of Parramatta Road and Wattle Street  Change in the visual character of Martin Street as a result of property acquisition and changes in landscaping

The works would impact on the streetscapes where properties are proposed to be demolished and would disturb the existing rhythm of the semi-detached and freestanding houses within Walker Avenue, Wattle Street, Ramsay Street, Martin Street, Northcote Street and Wolseley Street. The properties to be retained along Walker Avenue would lose an important part of their setting through the loss of the houses and gardens behind them (along Wattle Street). The repetition and rhythm of brick Federation houses with terracotta or slate roofs set in verdant gardens is important in defining Haberfield HCA.

There would be moderate adverse impacts on the aesthetic values of the conservation area with the construction of the proposed roadways and associated ventilation and

WestConnex M4 East 6-71 WestConnex Delivery Authority Non-Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment

Haberfield Heritage Conservation Area – services buildings. These new elements would not be sympathetic to the existing built environment or landscape character of the conservation area, which generally comprises quiet, tree-lined residential streets of consistent design and quality (with the obvious exceptions of Wattle Street and Ramsay Street, where the current traffic levels diminish the amenity, though not the significance, of these streets). While the ventilation facility would be similar in height to the tower of the former Peak Frean's factory (now Bunnings) on the opposite side of Parramatta Road, it would be out of character with the conservation area. Its orientation would be at odds with the established subdivision pattern and its height and materials inconsistent with the architectural character of the HCA. The proposed location of these facilities at the Parramatta Road end of Walker Avenue, to the edge of the conservation area, would however reduce their impact. Once established, the proposed landscaping would screen the facility when viewed from Walker Avenue to some extent, and this would provide some mitigation.

Five-metre high noise walls are proposed along the south-eastern side of the modified Wattle Street alignment, between Parramatta Road and Ramsay Street. The walls would be visible over the back fences of the retained properties along Walker Street and would have an adverse impact on their setting. The two-metre high noise walls proposed along the rear of the Northcote Street tunnel site (C7) would have a moderate adverse impact on the setting of contributory items adjacent to it.

The works would also require removal of the back fences and a section of the backyards of the properties at 42, 44 and 46 Walker Avenue. These properties are not listed as heritage items, but are contributory items within Haberfield HCA. These works would have a minor adverse impact on the heritage values of these properties through the loss of a small area of their landscape setting.

A combination of street trees and mass planting is also proposed along the south- eastern side of the realigned Wattle Street, north of the noise walls. No future development is proposed for the residual land along Wattle Street. The existing street trees in Haberfield are predominantly brush box (Lophostemon confertus), a species typical of street tree planting from the early twentieth century. The current landscape character of Wattle Street, comprising sparsely planted eucalypts, is not in keeping with the conservation area. The proposed landscape plantings associated with the project should complement the historic streetscape plantings in the Haberfield HCA in terms of layout and species.

(Source: Ashfield Heritage Study Review of Areas Zoned 2b & 2c) Impact type Setting Heritage Construction of the project would not have an impact on the heritage significance of the impact house at 82 Orpington Street. Works in the vicinity would include: assessment  realignment of Parramatta Road to the south  the Parramatta Road civil site (C10).

The works would include the demolition of existing properties along Parramatta Road and construction of the new westbound lanes of Parramatta Road to the south of the existing alignment. Thirteen properties between Chandos and Orpington streets (150– 184 Parramatta Road inclusive) would be demolished. No properties on Orpington Street would be removed. The proposed works would not physically impact on the property at 82 Orpington Street as it would be retained. The significance of the Queen Anne/Federation style bungalow as part of a group (including nos. 88 and 86 Orpington Street) would not be impacted, as all of the group would be retained. The works would not have an impact on the streetscape, as no items that contribute to it would be demolished. The caryard at 150 Parramatta Road, on the corner of Orpington Street, would be demolished, but it does not contribute to the streetscape.

Ashfield Park (public reserve) – Parramatta Road, Orpington, Pembroke and Ormond streets Image

Description The park is essentially formal, with a series of straight paths flanked by avenues of Port Jackson figs, brush box and phoenix palms, very early perimeter of araucaria are largely senescent. The park contains a number of fine individual specimen trees and palms, especially a River Red gum, (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), facing Ormond Street. Following the felling of an old blackbutt in 1991, the only survivors of the natural vegetation originally growing on the site are a number of turpentine (Syncarpia glomulifera). (Source: Godden Mackay, Ashfield Heritage Study 1993) Significance Local Statement of significance Located on portion of James Underwood’s Estate, Ashfield Park is Ashfield’s oldest and largest public park. Notable for its formal layout and avenues, it contains one of Sydney’s finest avenues of Canary Island date palm (Phoenix canariensis) as well as a number of significant structures. (Source: Godden Mackay, Ashfield Heritage Study 1993) Impact type Setting Heritage The project may have a potential minor adverse visual impact on Ashfield Park from the impact construction works and widened road to its northwest. Works in the vicinity would assessment include:  realignment of Parramatta Road to the south  construction of a dive structure into the new M4 East tunnels  the Parramatta Road civil site (C10).

The works would include the demolition of existing properties along Parramatta Road, construction of the new tunnel dive structure and the widening and realignment of Parramatta Road to the south of its existing alignment. The properties between Chandos and Orpington streets (150–184 Parramatta Road inclusive) would be demolished. No properties on Orpington Street would be removed.

The project would not directly impact on Ashfield Park as it would be retained – no works are proposed within its boundaries. The heritage significance of the park would therefore not be impacted by the project. There would however be some minor impacts on views from the park to the west, as the realignment of Parramatta Road and the dive into the proposed tunnels would be visible from some vantage points within the park.

Ashfield Park (public reserve) – Parramatta Road, Orpington, Pembroke and Ormond streets The 2015 UDVIA identifies that the project would result in a minor change to the setting of the area surrounding Ashfield Park as a result of the widening of Parramatta Road, the new tunnel on and off-ramps and the introduction of street tree planting along both sides of Parramatta Road. However, given the position of the park and the local topography, much of the project infrastructure would not be visible from within the park. The proposed street trees would be visible and this change is considered to be beneficial to the character of the park. There would also be a minor visual impact on the park during construction.

Ashfield Bowling Club – Orpington Street, Ashfield Image

Description The principal elements of the Ashfield Bowling Club ensemble are two square greens, accessible from the south side of Orpington Street near its intersection with Parramatta Road, and, adjoining them on the east side, the clubhouse, consisting of a single-storey brick structure with a low-pitched metal roof. The Orpington Street fence is brick, with a decorative metal entrance gate. The access path and the paths around the greens are concrete. The building is set well back from Parramatta Road, from which it can also be seen in the Ashfield Park landscape. There are two flagpoles. (Source: Additional Ashfield Heritage Inventory Sheets, 2010) Significance Local Statement This is the second oldest bowling club in the state and for over 120 years it has of reflected the history of the sport of bowling and contributed positively to the reputation significance of Ashfield and the popularity of Ashfield Park, of which it is part. It has associations with many prominent Ashfield citizens, including John Spence, FO Hedger and Sir John Harrison, to name only a few, and eight mayors, eg Mortley, Watson (member for 42 years) and Stanton. It was the state’s first to try night lighting and, in the 1890s, the state’s first where women played. The first outside television broadcast of lawn bowls took place here in 1956. The present building is the club’s third. (Source: Additional Ashfield Heritage Inventory Sheets, 2010) Impact type Setting

WestConnex M4 East 6-79 WestConnex Delivery Authority Non-Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment

Ashfield Bowling Club – Orpington Street, Ashfield Heritage Construction of the project would not have an impact on Ashfield Bowling Club, which is impact located within Ashfield Park. Works in the vicinity would include: assessment  realignment of Parramatta Road to the south  construction of a dive structure into the new M4 East tunnels  the Parramatta Road civil site (C10).

The works would also include the demolition of existing properties along Parramatta Road, construction of the new tunnel dive structure and the realignment of Parramatta Road to the south of its existing alignment. The properties between Chandos and Orpington streets (150–184 Parramatta Road inclusive) would be demolished. No properties on Orpington Street would be removed.

The project would not directly impact on Ashfield Bowling Club as no works are proposed within its boundaries. The heritage significance of the club, which is historical and social, would not be impacted by the project. 6.7.4 Consideration of alternatives for the Parramatta Road interchange Prior to the finalisation of the current configuration of the project, a number of alternative designs were considered for the Parramatta Road interchange in Ashfield and the Wattle Street interchange in Haberfield. The alternative designs considered are discussed in more detail in section 4.4 of the EIS.

In summary the options considered were:

 Option P1 – interchange with M4 East near Ashfield Park. This option would provide an eastbound off-ramp and westbound on-ramp near Ashfield Park  Option P2 – interchange with M4 East and M4–M5 Link near Ashfield Park. This option would provide an eastbound off-ramp and westbound on-ramp, as well as an eastbound on-ramp to and westbound off-ramp from the M4–M5 Link near Ashfield Park, to be constructed as part of the project  Option P3 – interchange with M4 East and M4–M5 Link near Flood Street. This option would provide an eastbound off-ramp and westbound on-ramp, as well as an eastbound on-ramp to and westbound off-ramp from the M4–M5 Link near Flood Street at Leichhardt, to be constructed as part of the project  Option P4 – interchange with M4 East and M4–M5 Link west of Wattle Street. This option would provide an eastbound off-ramp and westbound on-ramp, as well as an eastbound on-ramp to and westbound off-ramp from the M4–M5 Link on the western side of Wattle Street, to be constructed as part of the project. This option was considered in conjunction with Option W1, which did not include an interchange at Wattle Street (City West Link)  Option P5 – interchange with M4 East between Bland Street and Orpington Street. This option would provide an eastbound off-ramp and westbound on-ramp between Bland Street and Orpington Street. On- and off-ramps to and from the M4–M5 Link would not be provided under this option. Options P1 and P2 would have resulted in a major adverse impact on Ashfield Park, a heritage item listed on Ashfield LEP 2012. These options would have required the removal of up to 20 metres along the park’s Parramatta Road boundary. These options would also have resulted in major adverse impacts on Yasmar, which is listed on the SHR, from the removal of the front section of the house’s historically and aesthetically significant gardens. These options were not considered further.

Options P3 and P4 were not pursued for various reasons unrelated to heritage.

Option P5 is the current option, which does not have any direct impacts on Ashfield Park or Yasmar, though it does have other major adverse impacts on other heritage items and conservation areas. The impacts of each option on the Haberfield HCA were similar.

WestConnex M4 East 6-80 WestConnex Delivery Authority Non-Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment

6.8 Historical access arrangements The project will alter existing historical access arrangements to heritage listed properties to varying degrees. In particular, the historical access arrangements to Yasmar, 185 Parramatta Road, Haberfield, Wesley Uniting Church and Hall, 81 Concord Road, Concord will be altered to some extent as a result of the proposal.

The historically significant accessway at Yasmar (carriage drive) from Parramatta Road and its formal entrance gates would be retained as part of the proposal. However, the complex of roads and tunnel dives proposed in front of Yasmar would increase its separation from the historical road it once faced. The tunnel dive structures would be immediately to the southeast of the property’s Parramatta Road boundary.

Proposed works within the Wesley Uniting Church include widening of Concord Road and realignment of this footpath. This would require the removal of the church’s sandstone gate posts, gates and sandstone flagging (which pre-date the church), thus having a major impact on this item.

The demolition of residential properties on the north side of Station Street associated with the development of the Concord Road interchange would also result in the truncation of Concord Lane, which would have a minor impact on the historical arrangement of this road within the Powell’s Estate HCA. The demolition of residential properties on the east side of Wattle Street for the development of the Wattle Street interchange would also result in the truncation of Allum Street, which would have a minor impact on the historical arrangement of this road within the Haberfield HCA. The streets south of Sydney Street, North Strathfield, which are proposed to be removed for the Concord Road interchange, are not listed as heritage items and were previously truncated for the existing M4 motorway. The connections with Sydney Street and Edward Street east of Concord Road were also removed at this time and replaced with cul-de-sacs. The proposed M4 East would shorten these streets further; however, the streets themselves are not listed as heritage items—nor are they included within a HCA. 6.9 Cumulative heritage impacts The proposed future extension of the M4–M5 Link could potentially have further impacts on the Haberfield HCA. The proposed future scope of works would include tunnels underneath Haberfield HCA and, while detailed information is not yet available, further surface works and additional demolitions may be required for construction compounds.

The ramps and ventilation and ancillary facilities for the western end of the M4–M5 Link are being developed as part of the M4 East project. This will avoid the need to undertake further surface works in the Haberfield HCA to develop key infrastructure associated with the M4–M5 Link.

Given the major adverse impact of the project on the Haberfield HCA, as assessed in this HIA, further impacts associated with the development of construction compounds for the M4–M5 Link may have a severe cumulative impact on its heritage significance. Therefore, if possible, further works within the Haberfield HCA should be avoided.

The M4–M5 Link is unlikely to have any additional impacts on other heritage items and HCAs within Areas 1, 2 and 3 assessed in this HIA. 6.10 Potential vibration and noise impacts Heritage items and HCAs above the proposed tunnels and in the vicinity of construction works may be subject to vibration impacts. Vibration could affect the condition of heritage fabric through cracking and settlement; and in the worst case scenario compromise a heritage item’s structural integrity.

The majority of the heritage items and HCAs within or above the M4 East corridor are single-storey masonry (brick) houses with terracotta or slate roofs, and date from the late Victorian, Federation and interwar periods.

WestConnex M4 East 6-81 WestConnex Delivery Authority Non-Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment

Vibration impacts depend on a range of variables such as the type of construction activity, separation distance, ground conditions, and the condition of property impacted. For the majority of its length the tunnelling work for the project’s mainline tunnels would be undertaken at depths of approximately 20- 50 metres below ground. Areas of sensitivity would likely include tunnel dives, cut-and-cover sections, and tunnel ramps which occur closer to ground level. Settlement of the ground could have an impact where the tunnelling is below of close to heritage items. There is also the potential for vibration associated with surface works such as building construction and road works.

The tunnelling work would be undertaken in generally favourable sandstone and shale geological profiles. Appropriate vibration criteria would be established to avoid/minimise impacts and building condition surveys of potentially impacted properties would be undertaken. The WestConnex M4 East Construction and Operational Traffic Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment (SLR 2015) (Appendix J of the EIS) includes an assessment of vibration impacts on heritage items. The report identifies 13 heritage items that are located within the recommended within Cosmetic Damage Safe Working Distance and may be affected by construction vibration from road works. These items are identified in Table 6.1 and include the Commercial Building, 476 Parramatta Road (former Vita-Weat building/Peek Freans Biscuit Factory), the Wesley Uniting Church, Concord, and Yasmar (the mid– late twentieth century remand centre/training facility buildings only—Yasmar house would not be affected). These potential impacts should be managed in accordance with the recommendations in the SLR 2015 report.

The SLR 2015 report also makes recommendations for architectural noise treatment to mitigate the potential noise impacts of the project. The type of treatment options that would be considered include upgrading window and door seals and providing solid-core doors and upgraded glazing to windows. These solutions are likely to be relatively non-intrusive; however, heritage advice would be sought if the treatments have the potential to impact on the heritage significance of a property, for example where it would require removal of significant fabric or prevent under-floor and cavity wall ventilation from functioning properly and therefore having potential long-term impacts on significant fabric. In some cases this could result in a decision not to proceed with a treatment on the grounds that it was not considered to be a reasonable or feasible mitigation option. 6.11 Potential settlement impacts Ground movement caused by groundwater drawdown and tunnel-induced movement could also have impacts on heritage items. The Groundwater Impact Assessment for the project (Appendix R of the EIS) identifies that potential ground movement may result in ‘slight’ to ‘very slight’ impacts (cosmetic damage) to buildings above the tunnels. These potential impacts should be managed in accordance with mitigation measures in Chapter 18 of the EIS, which require further assessments and condition surveys prior to construction works commencing. 6.12 Impacts on potential heritage items The project brief for this HIA requires the identification and assessment of places with potential heritage values not recognised on heritage registers. Appendix A sets out the methodology for the identification of potential heritage items and includes heritage inventory sheets for those items that have been assessed as having heritage value.

Only those areas that would be directly impacted by surface works were surveyed for their potential for heritage values. GML inspected these areas in March and April 2014 and June 2015. Properties located above the tunnels are unlikely to be directly impacted (other than possible damage from vibration) by the construction works and the value of assessing their potential significance would be limited.

Table 6.7 provides a summary of the impact of the project on the potential heritage items. Detailed heritage impact assessments of the project on each property are provided in Appendix A.

7 General and specific mitigation measures

7.1 General mitigation measures If approved, the detailed design and construction of the project would be managed to ensure that, as far as possible, the identified potential heritage and archaeological impacts are minimised and/or avoided by implementation of a range of general measures.

The following general measures would apply to the management of heritage for the project:

• Where practical, heritage specialists (built and landscape heritage and historical archaeology) and qualified urban designers would provide input into the detailed design and documentation phase to assist in identifying opportunities to enhance the conservation options for heritage items and archaeological sites and ensure additional adverse impacts are avoided or minimised where reasonable and feasible • Potential vibration impacts would be managed in accordance with the recommendations of the WestConnex M4 East Construction and Operational Road Traffic Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment (SLR 2015) (Appendix J of the EIS). Appropriate monitoring and protection of the physical fabric of heritage items to be retained would be provided during construction of the project • New structures and their landscape settings would be of a high-quality, sympathetic design to minimise visual impacts on the setting of heritage buildings and landscapes • The Construction Heritage Management Plan would detail how construction impacts on Aboriginal and historic heritage will be minimised and managed including training and induction processes for construction personnel. Inductions are to cover built heritage, landscape and historical archaeological sites and their management, and provide heritage guidance on how to avoid/manage impacts. The induction would be prepared in consultation with a suitably qualified heritage specialist and historical archaeologist • An Interpretation Plan would be developed and implemented to identify and interpret the key heritage values and stories of the areas affected by the project, in accordance with the NSW Heritage Division guidelines. The Interpretation Plan would focus on the Powell’s Estate HCA, Thornleigh House gates and driveway, Longbottom Stockade (Concord Oval) and the Haberfield HCA, and would include interpretive initiatives in new public reserves and walkways. Artefacts and archaeological remains would be considered for their interpretative value when identified or recovered by excavation • Photographic recording would be undertaken of heritage items, contributory items, groups/streetscapes comprising combinations of heritage items and contributory items, and potential heritage items that would be directly impacted by the project. The recording methodology would be generally in accordance with the NSW Heritage Office guidelines Photographic Recording of Heritage Items Using Film or Digital Capture (2006), but the detail of the recording required would be determined by the significance of the items/groups/streetscapes • During demolition, where practical, recycle elements of heritage fabric from items of heritage significance using recycling agents • In undertaking the project, impacts to built heritage, heritage landscapes and historical archaeological sites, shall to the greatest extent practicable, be avoided and minimised. Where impacts are unavoidable, works shall be undertaken in accordance with the strategy outlined in the Construction Heritage Management Plan • All archaeological mitigation measures including archaeological monitoring and salvage excavation, as required, would be undertaken in accordance with standards and processes stipulated by the NSW Heritage Division, Office of Environment and Heritage with respect to the archaeological resource • As part of the Construction Heritage Management Plan, an overarching Historical Archaeological Research Design (HARD) would be prepared to commencement of construction. The HARD would describe clear significance thresholds to possible archaeological items that may be

WestConnex M4 East 7-1 WestConnex Delivery Authority Non-Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment

uncovered during works and designate when monitoring, or salvage and excavation should occur in relation to the project works and timing. Post-excavation reporting, including artefact analysis and additional historical research (where necessary), would be required for any historical archaeological investigations undertaken • Where required by the HARD, and prior to the commencement of pre-construction and/or construction activities that will impact historical archaeological sites identified in the EIS, an archaeological excavation program in accordance with the Heritage Council of NSW Archaeological Assessment Guidelines (1996). This work will be undertaken by an appropriately qualified archaeological consultant • If archaeological remains of State significance were identified (e.g. HAMU 8) during historical archaeological testing and/or monitoring, mitigation measures in accordance with State significance would be applied (see section 7.2.2 below) • Mitigation methodologies for the management of impacts on known and potential significant historical archaeological resources would be further developed at the detailed design stage, once key ground disturbance impacts have been finalised (in terms of exact depth, width, extent and type of impact). This would ensure that the archaeological mitigation strategies are streamlined and reduced in scope to target the key areas of unavoidable impact on significant archaeological resources • The Roads and Maritime Standard Management Procedure – Unexpected Heritage Items (2015), would be applied in the event any other unanticipated archaeological remains are discovered during the project. The procedure covers identification of heritage items and archaeological sites; recording and reporting on items including guidelines for photography; key environmental contacts; and procedural information, for example on uncovering human remains • If human remains were to be discovered during any phase of works associated with the project, works would cease immediately in the vicinity. The finding would be reported immediately to the NSW Coroner’s Office and/or the NSW Police. Any investigation would be undertaken in accordance with the relevant guidelines as issued by the NSW Heritage Division, Office of Environment and Heritage. Works would not re-commence unless authorised by the Office of Environment and Heritage and/ or the NSW Police • The Construction Heritage Management Plan would include detailed procedures/ strategies for the conservation and curation of any historical artefacts recovered during works. 7.2 Specific mitigation measures 7.2.1 Effectiveness of the mitigation measures The SEARs for the project require an evaluation of the effectiveness of the mitigation measures for heritage. The mitigation measures for known and potential historical archaeological resources (set out in section 7.2.2) are designed to mitigate the heritage impact on these resources to the extent possible within the project area. The mitigation measures for built and landscape heritage items and HCAs (set out in section 7.2.3) are similarly designed to minimise the heritage impact on these items and areas.

The anticipated effectiveness of each proposed mitigation measure has been ranked according to the type of mitigation proposed and the extent to which that measure would mitigate the impact of the project on the heritage item, known and/or potential historical archaeological resource or area, or heritage conservation area. The effectiveness of the mitigation measure would also depend on the level of significance of the item, archaeological resource or conservation area affected (ie whether it is of State or local significance). Avoidance of an intact archaeological resource and its preservation in situ would be the most effective mitigation measure for significant archaeological resources, whereas investigation, recording and salvage of a fragmentary archaeological resource (such as a rubbish dump) by a qualified archaeologist would be appropriate.

The anticipated levels of effectiveness for the mitigation measures proposed are set out below. Each is identified by item and conservation area and, for historical archaeology, against each of the specific HAMUs. The effectiveness of the measures is graded with a ranking of highly effective, moderately effective, somewhat effective and least effective as defined below:

WestConnex M4 East 7-2 WestConnex Delivery Authority Non-Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment

• Highly effective – this mitigation measure would effectively completely mitigate the impact on the item/area’s heritage significance • Moderately effective – this mitigation measure would substantially mitigate the impact on the item/area’s heritage significance, however the impact would not be mitigated completely • Somewhat effective – this mitigation measure would only partially mitigate the impact on the item/area’s heritage significance • Least effective – this mitigation measure would be of minimal effect in mitigating the impact on the item/area’s heritage significance. 7.2.2 Historical archaeology mitigation measures Archaeological resources would be managed in accordance with their heritage significance. The identified level of significance can influence the degree of impact that may be acceptable or the level of investigation and recording that may be required. For example, if a HAMU contained known or potential State significant relics, it would require the highest level of management, including the need in some circumstances for archaeological testing and possible redesign of the project in order to avoid and/or mitigate possible impacts.

The impact of the project would predominantly be to resources with local significance. Locally significant archaeological resources, while still important, would be able to be managed in a greater variety of ways and would be less likely to require any redesign of the project to avoid or mitigate proposed impacts, depending on the extent, nature and intactness of the resource found. State significant archaeological resources There is a low chance that historical archaeological relics of State significance may be present within Cintra Park (HAMU 8). If such relics were identified, they would be managed in accordance with the following measures:

• An excavation director who meets the NSW Heritage Branch requirements for directing state significant archaeological investigations must monitor the works • In situ retention of the archaeological resource may be required, unless it is highly disturbed and/or of a fragmentary nature or if the impacts are assessed by the excavation director to be minor in nature • A Work Method Statement or Historical Archaeological Research Design (HARD) will be prepared by a qualified historical archaeologist in accordance with the Heritage Division requirements, prior to the commencement of works. The Work Method Statement or HARD will outline a methodology for the investigation, monitoring and/or salvage or archaeological resources. • Where required by the Worth Method Statement or HARD, and prior to the commencement of pre-construction and/or construction activities that will impact historical archaeological sites identified in the EIS, an archaeological excavation program will be implemented in accordance with the Heritage Council of NSW Archaeological Assessments Guideline (1996). This work will be undertaken by an appropriately qualified archaeological consultant. • The NSW Heritage Division and Roads and Maritime Services must be notified when intact state significant relics are discovered • Public engagement such as media releases, public open days during the works program, and/or post-works heritage interpretation may be warranted • Post-excavation reporting, artefact analysis and conservation of relics would be required if relics are found. Locally significant archaeological resources Impact and/or removal is likely to be acceptable for HAMUs identified as locally significant provided the following strategies and mitigation measures are implemented:

WestConnex M4 East 7-3 WestConnex Delivery Authority Non-Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment

• A Work Method Statement or Historical Archaeological Research Design (HARD) will be prepared by a qualified historical archaeologist in accordance with Heritage Division requirements, prior to the commencement of works. The Work Method Statement or HARD will outline a methodology for the investigation, monitoring and/or salvage of archaeological resources. • Where required by the Work Method Statement or HARD, and prior to the commencement of pre- construction and/or construction activities that will impact historical archaeological sites identified in the EIS, an archaeological excavation program will be implemented in accordance with the Heritage Council of NSW Archaeological Assessments Guideline (1996). This work will be undertaken by an appropriately qualified archaeological consultant. • Archaeological monitoring would be led by a suitably qualified excavation director for the works. Monitoring would be followed by open-area excavation as required. This would depend on the nature, extent and integrity of the archaeological resource to be impacted, and the level of impact proposed • If unexpected State significant relics were to be discovered, such relics may need to be managed in accordance with state significant requirements as listed above. The excavation director should determine if the unexpected relics are likely to be reassessed as State significant, and then determine appropriate mitigation • The NSW Heritage Division and Roads and Maritime are to be notified if intact state significant relics are discovered • Public engagement, such as heritage interpretation and/or public open days may be warranted, depending on the nature and significance of the archaeological resource • Post-excavation reporting, artefact analysis and conservation is required if relics are found. No resources present Where works are unlikely to have an impact on historical archaeology, such as in the portion of HAMU 4 where the M4 runs under Concord Road and connects to Parramatta Road, activities should be managed in accordance with the following strategy:

• Archaeologist would investigate any unexpected discoveries of archaeological remains identified during ground works. Table 7.1 summarises the mitigation measures for management of each HAMU.

Table 7.1 Specific mitigation measures for management of each HAMU and their effectiveness.

Road interchange 7.2.3 Built heritage and landscape mitigation measures Table 7.2 summarises the additional specific mitigation measures for built heritage and landscape items or areas for the project and provides a rating of the effectiveness of each measure.

The extent and severity of the impact of the project on the heritage significance of Powell’s Estate HCA and the Haberfield HCA cannot be fully mitigated. The impact of the project on heritage items to be demolished also cannot be fully mitigated. While archival recording and salvage of significant fabric would allow a heritage item to be recorded and some of its significant features re-used, these measures would not fully mitigate the major adverse impact of its demolition.

Set out below are specific mitigation measures for the built and landscape heritage items and heritage conservation areas assessed in section 6.0. Where no specific mitigation measures are required, this is stated. The general recommendations set out in section 7.1 above apply to all heritage items and heritage conservation areas.

Appendix A WestConnex M4 East – Potential heritage items

A.1 Introduction The project brief for this HIA requires the identification and assessment of places with potential heritage values not recognised on heritage registers. This Appendix A sets out the methodology for and identification of potential heritage items.

Only those areas that would be demolished for surface works were surveyed for their potential heritage values. GML inspected these areas in March–April 2014 and June 2015. Properties located above the tunnels are unlikely to be directly impacted (other than possible damage from vibration) by the project works and the value of assessing their potential significance would be limited.

The following methodology was used to identify potential heritage items:

 Field surveys (limited to the street) to identify properties with potential aesthetic and representative significance and to assess integrity of the external form, details and associated landscapes  Review of non-statutory registers to identify whether the heritage significance of the property had been recognised  Review of relevant Local Environmental Plans, Development Control Plans and the State Heritage Inventory to identify whether the property is included within a heritage conservation area  Review of the State Heritage Inventory and relevant heritage studies to assess whether the property could be considered rare in the Local Government Area  Historical research into the development of the area to identify properties that may have historical heritage values. The assessment methodology was limited to properties not currently protected by being within the boundaries of conservation areas. Properties within the Powell’s Estate Heritage Conservation Area that have been assessed as being contributory items in the Canada Bay Development Control Plan and those within the Haberfield Conservation Area assessed by the HIA as contributory buildings received an initial assessment, but were not considered further.

Once potential heritage items had been identified, heritage inventory sheets have been prepared for each item, which include:

 a brief overview history including references  a description of the item  assessment of item’s heritage significance against the NSW heritage criteria  an assessment of the item’s integrity and intactness, based on inspection from the street only  a summary statement of significance  photographs of the item  an assessment of the impact of the project on the item. A.2 Identification of potential heritage items The table below sets out the properties proposed to be demolished for the project that were assessed by the GML team. Assessments were restricted to a visual analysis from the street and limited historical research and were therefore predominantly bases on potential aesthetic and representative significance. The table includes an initial indication as to whether the property should be assessed for heritage significance.

Item name House, 2 Short Street East, Homebush Historical notes This land was part of 70 acres granted to Thomas Rose in 1798, which was purchased by Edward Powell and then sold to James Underwood (Edward Powell’s son-in-law) in 1823. James Underwood owned large areas of land at Homebush on both sides of Parramatta Road.101

Underwood’s land on the northern side of Parramatta Road was included in an 1880 subdivision and incorporated the land between Wentworth Road and Powells Creek.102 Underwood Road was created as part of this subdivision. The road referred to as Creek Street on the 1880 plan was later renamed Pomeroy Street and extended across into the 1883 Wentworth subdivision (DP 1090) to link the two developments.

Development within Underwood’s 1880 subdivision was slow, but an 1881 plan shows that some development had taken place along Creek Street (Pomeroy Street) and Wentworth Road. Land fronting Powells Creek was subdivided into large lots of between one and two acres which operated as market gardens. A 1911 subdivision saw Short Street extended through to Underwood Road from Wentworth Road.103 The house at 2 Short Street East is evident in aerial photographs from 1943.

Impact type Demolition Heritage impact The project’s Underwood Road civil and tunnel site (C3) would be located on the assessment southern side of Short Street East. The land would be returned for future development on completion of the project.

Construction of the project would have a major adverse impact on 2 Short Street East as it would result in its acquisition and subsequent demolition. Works which would impact on the property include:  the Underwood Road civil and tunnel site (C3)  cut-and-cover tunnels  a distribution substation and ventilation building.

The aesthetic and representative significance of the house as a fine example of an interwar bungalow with Arts and Crafts style details would be lost as a result of its demolition. This would be a major adverse impact on the item.

Item name House, 15 Young Street, North Strathfield Historical notes Land along from the eastern side of Powells Creek to Concord Road (now part of the suburb of North Strathfield) was originally part of Thomas Rowley’s large Burwood land holdings. Thirty-nine acres of Rowley’s land located on the northern side of Parramatta was purchased by Edward Powell, one of the Liberty Plains farmers, in the early years of the twentieth century. On his death in 1814 this land was inherited by his wife and then by his son Edward Powell junior.

When Edward Powell junior inherited his 39 acres at Homebush he was living at Richmond and leased the Homebush land to cattle dealers. An 1882 plan shows no structures on his land except for a small cottage on the corner of Parramatta Road and Concord Road on land Powell had already sold.

Two acres of Powell’s land was resumed by the Commissioner for Railways in 1882 for the construction of the Strathfield to Hornsby section of the Northern Line104.

Item name Group of interwar flat buildings Road, development was much slower. On the eastern side of Chandos Street, only one dwelling is shown on the 1892 Sydney Water Plan between Parramatta Road and Loftus Street.139 By 1930, the Sands Directory records only one further dwelling.

Aerial photographs from 1930 show the development that had occurred comprises mostly residential dwellings.140 Further development is shown on the 1943 aerial photograph of the site – including three flat buildings at 178–182 Parramatta Road. They do not appear in the 1930 aerial photograph.

Impact type Demolition Heritage impact Construction of the project would have a major adverse impact on the group of assessment flat buildings at 178–182 Parramatta Road, as it would result in their demolition. Works which would impact on the buildings include:  the Parramatta Road civil site (C10)  realignment of Parramatta Road south of its current alignment  construction of a dive structure to the M4 East tunnels.

The proposed works would require the acquisition and demolition of the three interwar flat buildings at 178–182 Parramatta Road, along with the extant decorative front garden walls. The heritage significance of the flat buildings would be lost, along with the contribution they make to the often unattractive Parramatta Road streetscape. Their demolition would be a major adverse impact.
