The Penrith Lakes Development Scheme (The Scheme) was put in place in 1981 as a joint venture between the Penrith Lakes Development Corporation Pty Limited (PLDC) and the State Government. The aim of The Scheme was to co-ordinate all future mining operations and assess and implement the remediation of the entire site after the gravel extraction had been completed. The heritage property Hadley Park comprises 80 acres of land, originally granted by Governor King in 180 to Martin Mince (Mentz), a NSW Corps private soldier. Barely 25 years after the first European settlement in Australia the government grants for the Nepean/Penrith area, of which this was one, may possibly have been the only military frontier settlement in Australian colonial history (Liston undated). Hadley Park, along with its neighbouring Nepean Park, is considered rare in Australia under all the criteria of heritage significance of historic, architectural, aesthetic, social and scientific value as set out by the NSW Department of Planning (Heritage Branch). An intact, modest Georgian farmhouse with associated work outbuildings and gardens the property with its strong social links and relationships to other historic local family properties is of high significance nationally. Hadley Park is in the custodianship of Jacqueline Flower, a sixth generation member of the Hadley family who is currently assisting PLDC in preparing the property for possible conservation works.

The LMP has been prepared having regard to the Deed of Agreement between the NSW State Government and PLDC (1987); it is guided by the Burra Charter as adopted in 1999 by Australia ICOMOS (see Part B - Basis for Management). The LMP adopts and develops Conservation Policies as set out in the Conservation Management Plan prepared by Godden Mackay Logan (July 2008) and Truman, Zaniol & Associates in conjunction with Stedinger Associates (2007) and Hadley Park Archaeology Handbook (GML 2008). The LMP is further informed by previous Plans of Management and Conservation Strategies for the Hadley Park property and the sitewide Penrith Lakes area. The LMP is informed and guided by the overarching Landscape Masterplan (CLOUSTON Associates 2009) in its understanding of the heritage site and surrounding landscape. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The principal goals and objectives of the LMP in addressing the planning conditions could be to: • Determine appropriate land uses, landscape design and management strategies for the gardens and landscape of Hadley Park that reflect the rural and agricultural history of the site. • Reinforce the visual, social and heritage connections between Hadley Park and other historic properties within The Scheme. • Recognise and enhance the understanding of Aboriginal occupation of the land within the Hadley Park site and surrounding landscape. • Maintain the association through involvement in the preparation of the LMP of the continuous line of descendants of Hadley Park from Charles Hadley to the current sixth generation custodian. • Interpret the cultural and natural heritage of the landscape and gardens for future visitors to Hadley Park and The Scheme. HADLEY PARK • LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT PLAN • ISSUE I OCTOBER 2009 11 PROJECT METHODOLOGY AND REPORT FORMAT The methodology adopted for the preparation of this LMP has included the following: • Field investigations of the property, the surrounding landscape and visual connections to other heritage sites. • Research of the history of Hadley Park and surrounding area. • Consultation with the current custodian Jacqueline Flower. • Liaison and consultation with PLDC heritage staff and heritage consultants Godden Mackay Logan (GML). • Review of planning and heritage documents relating to Hadley Park • Mapping and documention of the altered surrounding landscape for future design, use and management implication. • Preparation of the LMP Plan for review by PLDC and GML. • Completion of the LMP Report in conjunction with the Landscape Heritage Strategy Report that covers the remaining heritage properties in The Scheme. The LMP has been set out in four parts as follows: • Part A - Background and Context: This section identifies the purpose and background to the report underpinned by the relevant documents and planning conditions. • Part B - Basis for Management: This section provides a description of the current landscape with an outline of the opportunities and constraints that inform the subsequent strategy. • Part C - Landscape Management Strategy: This section provides the concept for the gardens and landscape based on a suite of principles that underpin the possible future planning, design and management of Hadley Park. • Part D - Implementation: This section identifies the key elements of landscape principles, conservation standards, management and maintenance implementation of the LMP and for any future review. 12 HADLEY PARK • LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT PLAN • ISSUE I OCTOBER 2009 PREVIOUS STUDIES AND PLANNING CONTEXT From

My friend had arranged for us to visit FILOLI, an historic property nearby. I had no idea what I was about to see…. FILOLI is one of 27 sites owned by the US National Trust for Historic Preservation and is operated by the Filoli Centre. It is located 51 kms outside central San Francisco and is recognised as one of the finest remaining country estates of the early 20th century. FILOLI was built by Mr & Mrs William Bowers Bourn II, a wealthy San Francisco family who relocated to the peninsula after the 1906 earthquake. The Bourns owned the Empire Gold Mine, the largest hard-rock mining operation in California, as well as the Spring Valley Water Company and the Crystal Springs Reservoir. Cambridge-educated Mr Bourn selected the site and called it FILOLI by combing the first two letters from the key words of his credo: “ FIght for a just cause; LOve your fellow man; LIve a good life.” The Bourns engaged Willis Polk, a San Francisco architect to design their country estate. The house is predominantly modified- Georgian in style, containing over 5000 square metres of interior Filoli house from a walled orchard garden in late floor space with 56 rooms, including 10 family bedrooms, 16 winter/early spring bathrooms, 17 fireplaces, a ballroom and a servants’ wing.

    Heritage Newsletter of the Blue Mountains Association of Cultural Heritage Organisations Inc May-June 2018 ISSUE 56 ISSN 2203-4366 Hadley Park, Castlereagh The Heritage Council of NSW considers nominations for listing on the State Heritage Register based on an assessment of heritage significance and taking into account any submissions received from the public. Section 33 (3) of the NSW Heritage Act 1977 requires that the Heritage Council must be of the view that the item is of State heritage significance before it makes a recommendation to the Minister. Upon receipt of a recommendation for listing from the Heritage Council of NSW it is the Minister for Heritage who has to consider that recommendation and decide whether or not to direct the listing of the item on the State Heritage Register under Section 32 (1) of the Heritage Act. Hadley Park, Castereagh One such item currently under consideration is Hadley Park, Castlereagh. Castlereagh was one of the five Macquarie towns proclaimed by Governor Lachlan Macquarie in 1810. Hadley Park was the earliest known European settlement in this location at the time. Charles Hadley acquired land at Castlereagh and his home, possibly the small adjacent weatherboard cottage, was erected in about 1806. The main house may have been built nearer to 1801 and still stands today. Hadley Park is located on one of the 31 grants given out by Governor King in the Castlereagh (Mulgrave Place) area. Most of the grants had river frontages, and had a regular north-south orientation. They ranged from 70 to 160 acres, and the size reflected 1 HERITAGE May-June 2018 social status and family size.

Water Dreams, Earthen Histories: Exploring Urban Environmental History at the Penrith Lakes Scheme and Castlereagh, Sydney GRACE KARSKENS School of History University of New South Wales Sydney NSW 2051, Australia Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Urban environmental history comprises both human and ecological experience; the two were and are inseparable, and their interaction is dynamic. This essay explores the human and bioregional history of the Penrith Lakes Scheme at Castlereagh in outer Western Sydney as a case study in integrating the two ap- proaches. Conceived in the late 1960s, the Scheme is a quintessential ʻhybrid landscapeʼ, aiming to rehabilitate 2,000 hectares of open-cut gravel quarries by creating huge artificial lakes and landforms. But it destroyed a rich palimpsest of earlier farming and Aboriginal landscapes, both of which had also transformed the environment. By focusing on this place over time, it is possible to track the succession of Aboriginal, settler, industrial and urban histories, to explore the shifting meanings of this environment, the different ways they knew and shaped this country, and the politics and strategic uses of different types of environmental knowledge.

  • 23 December 2016
    23 December 2016 Executive Director Local Planning Liaison New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment GPO Box 39 SYDNEY, NSW 2001 Dear Sir, We refer to the proposed State Environmental Planning Policy (Penrith Lake Scheme) Amendment 2016 (Draft SEPP). In my capacity as the Chairman of the Penrith Lakes Development Corporation (PLDC), I wish to lodge an objection in response to the Draft SEPP on behalf of PLDC. I also note that the exhibited Draft SEPP does not in any way represent the Urban Instrument submission to the Minister for Planning and Environment dated 29 August 2014 nor the subsequent technical reports submitted in March 2016 by PLDC. PLDC rejects any claim that there has been collaboration on the development of this draft SEPP amendment. PLDC reserves all of its rights under the 1987 Deed (Deed) and in reserving its rights says that the provision of its submission in response to the Draft SEPP does not involve an acceptance or agreement by PLDC that the manner in which the Draft SEPP has been proposed, and its proposed contents, are either valid or appropriate. Nor does the making of submissions by PLDC constitute a withdrawal or waiver by PLDC of any of its claims that the State has acted and continues to act otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of the Deed. Clause 3.3(b) of the Deed expressly provides that: "(b) The Lakes Scheme cannot be successfully implemented and completed unless the Urban Land is rezoned and redeveloped for urban purposes as contemplated by this Agreement." (my emphasis) In PLDC's view, the Draft SEPP represents a radical departure from the intention of the parties as recorded in Part 3 of the Deed and the principal investigation undertaken by the NSW State Government documented in the Regional Environmental Study – Penrith Lakes Scheme 1984 (RES).
