The potential impacts have been assessed with reference to the guideline documents and criteria published by the NSW Heritage Council. The main objective of this report is to outline the minor nature of the works and how any impacts will be mitigated. The HIS accompanies a request for exemption under Section 57 of the Heritage Act 1977 using Standard Exemption No. 7: Minor Activities with Little or No Adverse Impact on Heritage Significance to the Office of Environment and Heritage. 1.1 Background The proposed early works at the Silverwater Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre (MRRC) include minor preparation works to support a larger development for the site. The larger development proposes a 440 Bed Maximum Security Expansion as a part of the Prison Bed Capacity Program (PBCP). This larger development proposal will be addressed with a Section 60 application to the Office of Environment and Heritage, and will be accompanied by a Review of Environmental Factors (REF). The minor preparation works addressed within this Heritage Impact Statement are reversible and include site establishment activities, temporary fencing and construction of the temporary gatehouse. HIS – Metropolitan Remand & Reception Centre, Silverwater – Minor Preparation Page 6 1.2 The Site The site is located on the northern side of Holker Street, Silverwater. The Parramatta River is located to the north of the site and Jamison Street is to the east of the site.

HIS – Metropolitan Remand & Reception Centre, Silverwater – Minor Preparation Page 7 1.3 Heritage Context The site at Holker Street, Silverwater, is located within the Silverwater Prison Complex, which is listed as a Heritage conservation Area on the State Heritage Register. It is also listed in Schedule 5 of the Auburn Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2010 as an item of State heritage significance. The site is therefore subject to the heritage provisions of the NSW Heritage Act 1977.

The proposed early works are in accordance with the conservation policies in the CMP. The proposed works are located in a landscape area that has low significance, involves no existing buildings and with no archaeological potential. 1.4 Silverwater Correctional Complex CMP The following sections of the Silverwater Correctional Centre CMP specifically relate to the proposal and are considered in the assessment: Section 2.7 of the CMP refers to the development of the centre and the construction of the MRRC; Section 2.8.3 identifies the MRRC as part of the Silverwater Correctional Complex, which HIS – Metropolitan Remand & Reception Centre, Silverwater – Minor Preparation Page 8 the site is located in; Section 3.3 describes the site precincts and Section 3.6 specifically describes the MRRC precinct; Section 4.3.3 identifies the significance of the MRRC Precinct; Section 4.4.2 identifies landscape areas of significance; Section 4.5 refers to the Statement of Significance for the Silverwater Correctional Complex; Section 5.7 lists the assessed value of buildings; Section 6.2 summarizes the archaeological

  • Fact Sheet — Parklands
    Fact Sheet — Parklands The parklands at Sydney Olympic Park provide 430 hectares of open space, recreation areas, wetlands and waterways for the people of Sydney located in the heart of the growing metropolitan Sydney. • One of Australia’s largest urban parklands, Sydney Olympic Park is a diverse and special place where protected remnant woodlands, rare saltmarshes, waterbird refuge and mangroves stand alongside places of heritage significance to create a unique parkland setting. • A lasting legacy of the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the parklands have been designed and built on land formerly used by government industries including the State Abattoirs, State Brickworks and Commonwealth Department of Defence, and are the result of remediating industrial land — an internationally recognised leading environmental remediation and urban renewal project. • Today, the parklands are playing an increasingly important role as both a local park and as a significant regional park destination as Sydney grows. The parklands are an association of many different parks and places brought together as a single entity for management purposes. • The suburb of Sydney Olympic Park covers an area of 640 hectares, of which 430 hectares are parklands. • There are now over 2.7 million visits to the parklands annually, representing 27.5 percent of Sydney Olympic Park total visitation. • The parklands include the leisure and play areas of Bicentennial Park, Wentworth Common and Blaxland Riverside Park; the sporting grounds at Wilson Park and Archery Park, and Monster and Mountain X facilities; the state heritage listed Newington Armory; the more natural areas of Newington Nature Reserve and Badu Mangroves; the Brickpit and 100 hectares of wetlands and waterways.

  • 'Quilled on the Cann': Alexander Hart, Scottish Cabinet Maker, Radical
    ‘QUILLED ON THE CANN’ ALEXANDER HART, SCOTTISH CABINET MAKER, RADICAL AND CONVICT John Hawkins A British Government at war with Revolutionary and Republican France was fully aware of the dangers of civil unrest amongst the working classes in Scotland for Thomas Paine’s Republican tract The Rights of Man was widely read by a particularly literate artisan class. The convict settlement at Botany Bay had already been the recipient of three ‘Scottish martyrs’, the Reverend Thomas Palmer, William Skirving and Thomas Muir, tried in 1793 for seeking an independent Scottish republic or democracy, thereby forcing the Scottish Radical movement underground. The onset of the Industrial Revolution, and the conclusion of the Napoleonic wars placed the Scottish weavers, the so called ‘aristocrats’ of labour, in a difficult position for as demand for cloth slumped their wages plummeted. As a result, the year 1819 saw a series of Radical protest meetings in west and central Scotland, where many thousands obeyed the order for a general strike, the first incidence of mass industrial action in Britain. The British Government employed spies to infiltrate these organisations, and British troops were aware of a Radical armed uprising under Andrew Hardie, a Glasgow weaver, who led a group of twenty five Radicals armed with pikes in the direction of the Carron ironworks, in the hope of gaining converts and more powerful weapons. They were joined at Condorrat by another group under John Baird, also a weaver, only to be intercepted at Bonnemuir, where after a fight twenty one Radicals were arrested and imprisoned in Stirling Castle.

    AH374 Australian Art and Architecture The search for beauty, meaning and freedom in a harsh climate Boston University Sydney Centre Spring Semester 2015 Course Co-ordinator Peter Barnes [email protected] 0407 883 332 Course Description The course provides an introduction to the history of art and architectural practice in Australia. Australia is home to the world’s oldest continuing art tradition (indigenous Australian art) and one of the youngest national art traditions (encompassing Colonial art, modern art and the art of today). This rich and diverse history is full of fascinating characters and hard won aesthetic achievements. The lecture series is structured to introduce a number of key artists and their work, to place them in a historical context and to consider a range of themes (landscape, urbanism, abstraction, the noble savage, modernism, etc.) and issues (gender, power, freedom, identity, sexuality, autonomy, place etc.) prompted by the work. Course Format The course combines in-class lectures employing a variety of media with group discussions and a number of field trips. The aim is to provide students with a general understanding of a series of major achievements in Australian art and its social and geographic context. Students should also gain the skills and confidence to observe, describe and discuss works of art. Course Outline Week 1 Session 1 Introduction to Course Introduction to Topic a. Artists – The Port Jackson Painter, Joseph Lycett, Tommy McCrae, John Glover, Augustus Earle, Sydney Parkinson, Conrad Martens b. Readings – both readers are important short texts. It is compulsory to read them. They will be discussed in class and you will need to be prepared to contribute your thoughts and opinions.

Thomas Martyn, 1766. Two hundred years after these words were written, economic pressures compelled the British aristocracy to open the doors of the great houses to the curious public. Today in Australia, while private collections are frequently available to the public through National Trust open days, exhibitions in public museums, or other means, the public collections of museums are all too rarely accessible. Museums draw too hard a line between those things which the public may see - the things on display - and those things the public may not see - the things in "storage".

Because this land was invaded by the British in 1788 and became the British colony of New South Wales, the main British architectural styles at that time were ‘transported’ to the colony.

ETH Library Architects on the Verge: Distance in Proximity at “The Pleasures of Architecture” Janina Gosseye ETH Zurich Donald Watson University of Queensland Between May 23 and 26, 1980, the New South Wales chapter of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects held a conference in Sydney, entitled “The Pleasures of Architecture.” International guests invited to speak at this conference were Michael Graves, George Baird and Rem Koolhaas. To feed the discussion, the conference organisers invited twenty prominent Australian architects to submit a design to fictionally complete Engehurst, an 1830s villa in Paddington (Sydney) originally designed by architect John Verge, which was never completed and of which only a fragment still existed. All schemes were presented in an exhibition that took place in parallel with the conference. The proposed projects were published in full in the April/May 1980 issue of Architecture Australia and were remarkably diverse in their conceptual approach to the completion of Verge’s villa.

  • 7 the Sullivan Family
    77 TTHHEE SSUULLLLIIVVAANN FFAAMMIILLYY PATRICK SULLIVAN Patrick Sullivan was born in 1808 in the townland of Lisdeen, situated about two miles from Kilkee on the Kilrush to Kilkee Road in County Clare, Ireland. His parents were James Sullivan and Mary Kennedy. It is thought that Patrick was probably the eldest son. He had one brother, John, who died in 1827 aged 16, and four younger siblings. His father was a small farmer who died sometime before 1834. Patrick’s father James Sullivan, and Partners, were listed in the Tithe Applotment Books of 1828 as holding (leasing) two acres of first quality land in Lisdeen. Nearby, John Sullivan also leased land – both first and second quality, totalling over two acres. It appears that James and John Sullivan split their father’s land upon his death - just over four acres, creating yet smaller holdings and further diminishing the amount of land available to support these poor families. The Sullivans would have been tenant farmers paying rent to Protestant landlords, some of whom were absentee owners. Potatoes were the main crop grown and turf cutting was another form of employment which helped support the families and was used to provide fuel for the winter months. Men, women and children took part in turf cutting. Cattle Fair Day at Kilkee, County Clare, Ireland. Image courtesy County Clare Library The Sullivans had relatives named McInerney living in the Lisdeen area although it is not known whether they were connected to the Sullivan or Kennedy side of the family. Land records around 1827-1828 show a number of Sullivans, McInerneys and Kennedys living on rateable land in townlands in the Kilfearagh Parish.
