I Archaeological Assessment: North Sydney Olympic Pool I SECTION 1.0 I IPRECIS OF THE REPORT I 1.1 The Investigation I The sUbject of this investigation is the archaeological resource which may be contained within the area of the North Sydney Olympic Pool and Olympic Place. The report has been prepared to meetthe conditions ofNorth Sydney Council with respect I to improvements being made to this site. Its principal objectives are to determine if there are archaeological issues to be addressed in the course of the current development and, if so, the most appropriate means of managing them. No I archaeological assessment or investigation has been made of this site to date. I 1.2 Historical Framework North Sydney Pool is founded on land that, prior to European settlement, would have been characterised by exposed sandstone outcrops and thin sandy soils which I supported a landscape dominated by stands of Eucalypts giving way to a heath of banksias on the more exposed part ofthe headland. The study area was,first alienated for European purposes iri a grant made to Robert Ryan in 1800. It was again granted I as a permissive occupancy in 1806 to James Milson. Milson's home and principal improvements were located to the east of the study area which is not known to have been improved in any way up to the 1820s. A dispute brought about by Robert I Campbell in the later 1820s over Milson's legal right to the land was resolved by subdividing the original grant between Milson, who acquired the land furthest to the I north, and Campbell who gained the promontory containing the study area. The latter was subdivided in the 1830s. The study area was bisected by a road, Western Wharf Road, and to the south of this thoroughfare were two allotments and to the north five I others. The first occupants were watermen and a dairyman. At least some buildings were erected on these lots but the extent of these works is unknown. The further subdivision ofthe area up to the 1860s was accompanied by excavation and levelling I of the underlying sandstone. By the later 1860s the southern part of the study area had been further subdivided to provide for four allotments and a survey ofthis period I shows buildings on almost all the allotments. By the second half of the nineteenth century Milsons Point had become one of the most vital points in the transport network leading from the city to outlying suburbs. Its I position in this network was consolidated by the construction ofthe first tram in NSW in 1886 and a railway station in 1893. The latter was built on land resumed by the Railways Department including those allotments which encompass the study area. I The station remained in use until the site was resumed for bridge works in the 1920s. After extensive quarrying and levelling part of the study area became the site of one I of the fabrication shops and the rest remained vacant. Work on the bridge was completed in 1932 and the workshops then lay vacant. The site was selected as the I venue for a modern Olympic Pool and was then subject to massive excavation of Wendy Thorp for Brian McDonald and Associates Page 1 I I I Archaeological Assessment: North Sydney Olympic Pool I both the ground and cliff face to accommodate the new work. The pool was opened in 1936. I 1.3 The Archaeological Resource The study area has been alienated for European settlement from 1800 and occupied I from the 1830s, at first with domestic works and then the railway, a workshop and finally the pool. The most outstanding feature of this long period of development is the extreme amount of disturbance and excavation which has characterised each I phase. Excavation in almost all cases has been into the underlying bedrock. It is highly likely that the extent of this work has removed all traces of each preceding phase. It is considered that this site has little or no likelihood of retaining any I archaeological material. I 1.4 Cultural Significance The study area has historical associations with the earliest settlement on the North I Shore and with seminal events in its development, particularly as a transport corridor. It also has associations with the development of the Harbour Bridge. However, the extent of the disturbance to the site which has accompanied each changing use I means that these associations will not be realised in any tangible way through an archaeological resource. The site has no scientific research value for arcaheological I pruposes. 1.5 Management I This analysis has identified that the proposed work is unlikely to disturb any relics. It will not be necessary, therefore, for the proponents of the development to make application to the- Heritage Council for an Excavation Permit prior to the I commencement of the work. It should be noted, however, that should any deposit, feature or relic of substance and significance be exposed during the course of excavation the owners/managers of the site are required to notify the Heritage Office I of NSW. Relics are protected by the Heritage Act of NSWwhich requires responsible I management of them. It is recommended that: I • no further archaeological work be undertaken for this site. I I I I I Wendy Thorp for Brian McDonald and Associates Page 2 ~---- --------~~~-------------------------------, I I Archaeological Assessment: North Sydney Olympic Pool I SECTION 2.0 I ITHE INVESTIGATION I 2.1 The Study Area and Subject I The subject of this investigation is the site of the North Sydney Olympic Pool and Olympic Place. The study area is found within the suburb of Milsons Point and is bound by Olympic Driye and Luna Park to the west, Paul Street to the north and Alfred I Street to the east and south. The facilities of the pool are to be extended by the construction of a lap pool, wading pool, several buildings and landscaping. I The investigation broadly encompasses the European "heritage" values of this site with respect to a possible archaeological resource. Heritage values are understood to mean the appreciation of and value placed upon the resource by contemporary I society in terms of the criteria expressed in the Surra Charter and formalised by the Heritage Office of NSW. Archaeological evidence, or relics, is defined by the Heritage Act of NSWto be physical evidence (structures, features, soils, deposits and portable I artefacts) that provide evidence ofthe development of NSW, of non-Aboriginal origin I and fifty or more years in age. 2.2 Consent Condition I The work has been initiated by a condition of consent for the development required by North Sydney Council. This condition is that, I "A historical archaeologist shall be engaged to carry out an archaeological assessment ofthe likelihood offinding archaeological remains ofsignificance on the subject site in respect to the whole of the site and the most likely location of these I remains... ". I 2.3 Status of the Site The Olympic Pool has been the subject of several heritage reports. A conservation plan in three volumes was prepared in 1994 (Jean, Hill, Spearitt, Alldritt and Sierins, I (North Sydney Olympic Pool Conservation Plan) and a Heritage Impact Assessment in 1998 (Godden Mackay Heritage Consultants, North SydneY Olympic Pool Heritage I Impact Assessment and Statement of Heritage Effects). There has been no archaeological assessment of this site made prior to the work undertaken for this I report and no recognition of archaeological relics contained within it. I I Wendy Thorp for Brian McDonald and Associates Page 3 I I I Archaeological Assessment: North Sydney Olympic Pool I 2.4 Methodology This report has been prepared in accordance with the principles established by the Heritage Office of New South Wales presented in l'Archaeological Assessment I Guidelinesll (Department of Urban Affairs and Planning, 1996).

  • Nsn Summer | 2007 North Sydney Given Sound Bill of Health
    northsydneynews |nsn summer | 2007 North Sydney given sound bill of health North Sydney Council has been given a sound sustainability rating by asset management consultants Jeff Roorda & Associates. Mr Roorda told Council that its sustainability ratio of .7 was the highest of any council the company had assessed to date. The company was commissioned by council to assess the sustainability of North Sydney’s infrastructure and develop an asset management plan. The ratio assigned to assets was a measure of the average amount council spends on assets divided by the amount that should be spent for optimal maintenance. As well as giving us an overall rating, the plan rates individual asset categories. Regional roads (ratio of 1.28), footpaths (1.09), bus shelters (.85) street signs (.81) and local roads (.79) have acceptable ratings, while seawalls (.65) and drainage (.62) have been identified as priorities and have received additional funding from this year’s infrastructure levy funds (see page 11). Council’s overall financial position was also assessed as sound by Auditors Spencer Steer and Associates. The operating result for the year was a surplus of $7.138 million. General Manager Penny Holloway said she was pleased but not surprised by the good bill of health. “North Sydney is debt free, we operate on a small surplus each year and have $48 million invested. This achievement is particularly impressive when you consider that North Sydney continues to have the lowest average rates in Sydney and a high level of customer satisfaction with our services.” Other key financial results for the 2006/2007 financial year included: • a total amount of $3.194 million worth of unrestricted cash and investments, which is available for day-to-day operations • developer contributions increased substantially compared to the previous financial year • user charges and fees, as well as investment interest, provided additional revenue.

  • The Club Celebrates 50 Years
    ROYAL SYDNEY YACHT SQUADRON “Read all about it!” The origins and early history of the Squadron – as reported in the Press of the day The Club Celebrates 50 Years. From “Sydney Sails” On the Squadron’s 50th Anniversary, 8th July 1912, the flagstaff in its grounds wore a large flag of the Commonwealth of Australia, and was gaily dressed for the occasion. That evening a banquet at the Australia Hotel was attended by over 100 members. The commodore, Sir James Fairfax, who was then seventy eight, was unable to attend, and the chair was taken by Vice-Commodore Alfred J. Milson, fittingly enough, for his father had been the first vice- commodore fifty years previously. Of the original nineteen foundation members, only three now survived. Charles Parbury, aged seventy-nine, was living in retirement in England, and to mark this occasion had presented to the Squadron a painting (reproduced in this volume) of his famous yacht Xarifa which had won the first Australian ocean race, against Chance, in 1864. Henry C. Dangar, aged eighty-two, was living in Sydney, but was unable to attend. Fred j. Jackson, aged seventy-four, attended the banquet. He had been the youngest of the original nineteen members, and in 1912 was still an active sailing member, frequently being seen at the tiller of his old deep-keeler, Violet, pleasure cruising on the harbour. He was given a place of special honour at the festivities. Honorary life membership of the Squadron was conferred upon him, and upon Henry Dangar and Charles Parbury. In addition to the flag officers (previously mentioned), the officials of the Squadron in its Jubilee Year were: hon.

PARKS OF THE HIGH LINE 17 Promenade Plantée and Viaduc des Arts 18 New York City High Line 23 Analysis 28 Chapter 5. ANALYSIS 30 Conclusion 35 REFERNCES 36 pg. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The objective of this dissertation is a research of existing examples of former urban railway corridors defined as high lines, successfully reclaimed and transformed to become a recreational open space. Through detailed analysis of two prime examples including Parisian Promenade Plantée and New York City High Line, the aim is to investigate and define the best model for the successful delivery of recently proposed Sydney Harbour HighLine. The aim is to establish a theory that adopted urban high lines are drivers behind economic growth, provide countless benefits to the society and work in harmony with the environment and cultural heritage. This dissertation seeks answers to the following questions: Is there a future for the Sydney Harbour HighLine? Will the revitalisation of Lavender Bay railway line become an elevated challenge or an opportunity? This dissertation has been presented in five chapters. The first chapter begins with an exploration of the unsustainable rate of rapid urbanization and its impact on the environment we live in.

A walking tour of landmarks and treasures Highlights of the tour include: the much beloved Luna Park; the elegant railway aqueducts Distance: 3 Km arching above the steeply sloping steps and Approximate time: 2 ½ hours gardens of Walker Street; the beauty and Grading: medium (some steps) tranquillity of Watt and Clark Parks; and on the water, ferries navigate the myriad of yachts and small boats to visit the Lavender Bay and McMahons Point wharves. All of this framed against the backdrop of the Harbour and the towering Sydney skyline. North Sydney provides spectacular views of a harbour widely regarded as one of the most beautiful in the world. Since colonisation artists and photographers have stood at the head of Lavender Bay looking back across the harbour to take in the spectacular views of the harbour and the city skyline. Numerous photographs, paintings, illustrations and postcards have survived documenting changes in the bay, both physical and built environment, since settlement began. Lavender Bay too has been home to many notable artists, including Brett Whiteley, Garry Shead, Tim Storrier and Peter Kingston. Lavender Bay is named after George Lavender, boatswain of the convict hulk Phoenix, moored in the bay in the 1820-30s. Lavender married Susannah Blue, a daughter of Billy. Also here were the 1881 baths of the large Cavill Family who between them invented or introduced the Australian crawl and butterfly strokes, and held many swimming records.

The McMahons Point and Lavender Bay Progress Association, supported by outspoken architects, opposed the zoning, proposing an alternative residential scheme for the redevelopment of the peninsula. The scheme, designed by Harry Seidler, consisted of a hotel on Blues Point, seven high- rise; twelve mid-rise and nine low-rise apartments. The scheme was Corbusian in scale and proposed that views for residents would be maintained by placing low-rise apartments on the water’s edge with high-rise on the ridge. The residents’ campaign was successful. The New South Wales Government overturned the Council’s rezoning proposal in 1958. However, as a result of rising property values and the subsequent credit squeeze in 1960, the alternative grand scheme was never pursued.
