Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority Annual Report 2007–08 1 Our vision To make unique places in Sydney that the world talks about Our purpose To create and sustain living places and great experiences The Authority does this by: Managing places profitably and socially to deliver excellence in our role as manager for Sydney’s significant waterfront and other precincts, balancing visitor, community and commercial expectations. As custodian, to ensure the preservation and interpretation of our natural and cultural heritage. Promoting places effectively to capitalise on the economic and cultural worth of our places, as core attractions for both visitors and Sydneysiders. Developing places responsibly to demonstrate leadership in creating quality environments that are enriching, diverse, accessible and sustainable. To add value by redeveloping surplus government land through a highly-skilled organisation. Managing the organisation efficiently to meet customer and stakeholder needs and expectations. 2 Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority Annual Report 2007–08 Sustainability The Authority recognises the effects of our way of life on the environment and has placed sustainability, social responsibility and economic viability at the very core of its management of Darling Harbour, The Rocks and Barangaroo. Our commitment to developing sustainable management practices for our precincts as well as the organisation itself is encapsulated in two groundbreaking targets: • to become carbon neutral in our occupied buildings, public domain and events by 2010 • to reduce the carbon emissions of The Rocks and Darling Harbour by a massive 80 per cent by 2020. The organisation aims to achieve these by setting tangible goals not only for emission reductions, but also for other key areas of sustainability including the recycling or composting of 80 per cent of all waste and reducing potable water consumption by 80 per cent across all its precincts. Making the change to sustainable management practices is not just about being a good corporate citizen, it also makes good economic sense. The Authority wants to play a leadership role in sustainability by making a real commitment to reducing its impact on the environment. This symbol identifies the Authority’s key sustainability achievements and initiatives. These achievements are also referenced in the sustainability index on page 124.

    THE MAKING OF THE NEWCASTLE INDUSTRIAL HUB 1915 to 1950 Robert Martin Kear M.Bus. (University of Southern Queensland) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Master of Philosophy in History January 2018 This research was supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY I hereby certify that the work embodied in the thesis is my own work, conducted under normal supervision. The thesis contains no material which has been accepted, or is being examined, for the award of any other degree or diploma in any other university or other tertiary institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made in the text. I give consent to the final version of my thesis being made available worldwide when deposited in the University’s Digital Repository, subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968 and any approved embargo. Robert Kear ii ABSTRACT Aim of this Thesis The aim of this thesis is to chart the formation of the Newcastle Industrial Hub and to identify the men who controlled it, in its journey from Australian regional obscurity before 1915, to be the core of Australian steel manufacturing and technological development by 1950. This will be achieved through an examination of the progressive and consistent application of strategic direction and the adoption of manufacturing technologies that progressively lowered the manufacturing cost of steel. This thesis will also argue that, coupled with tariff and purchasing preferences assistance, received from all levels of government, the provision of integrated logistic support services from Newcastle’s public utilities and education services underpinned its successful commercial development.

  • Background Frequently Asked Questions
    Background A strategy to systematically prioritise, assess and respond to notifications under Section 60 of the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997 (CLM Act) has been developed by the EPA. This strategy acknowledges the EPA’s obligations to make information available to the public under Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 . When a site is notified to the EPA, it may be accompanied by detailed site reports where the owner has been proactive in addressing the contamination and its source. However, often there is minimal information on the nature or extent of the contamination. After receiving a report, the first step is to confirm that the report does not relate to a pollution incident. The Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act) deals with pollution incidents, waste stockpiling or dumping. The EPA also has an incident management process to manage significant incidents (https://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/reporting-and-incidents/incident- management). In many cases, the information indicates the contamination is securely immobilised within the site, such as under a building or carpark, and is not currently causing any significant risks for the community or environment. Such sites may still need to be cleaned up, but this can be done in conjunction with any subsequent building or redevelopment of the land. These sites do not require intervention under the CLM Act, and are dealt with through the planning and development consent process. In these cases, the EPA informs the local council or other planning authority, so that the information can be recorded and considered at the appropriate time (https://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/your-environment/contaminated-land/managing-contaminated-land/role-of-planning- authorities).

  • WHITE BAY POWER STATION Power Station at Balmain, NSW
    DESIGN 5 - ARCHITECTS WHITE BAY POWER STATION Power Station at Balmain, NSW CLIENT Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority DURATION 2002 - 2003 DESCRIPTION CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT PLAN White Bay Power Station at Rozelle was built to supply electrical power to the Sydney railway and tramway system. It was operational between 1917-1983 and was the longest serving power station in metropolitan Sydney. The large industrial site includes a boiler house (a second boiler house was demolished in the 1970s), turbine hall, switch house, coal handling shed, a rail line spur, two steel chimney stacks and various items of machinery. Design 5 - Architects was engaged with a multi-disciplinary team to prepare a Conservation Management Plan (CMP) for this site. Other team members included Godden Mackay Logan Industrial Archaeologists, Hughes Trueman Consulting Engineers and JBA Urban Planning. The place is owned and managed by the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority who wish to provide a new future for the place. The CMP establishes the exact nature of the cultural significance of the place and puts in place policies to safeguard that significance and guide future development and changes. Community consultation with stakeholders, including former workers and local communities, was also carried out as part of the process of assessing the place’s social significance. The CMP is a key component of the process for calling Expressions of Interest for the future use and redevelopment of the place. The CMP includes an extensive inventory and ranking of significance of built structures, spaces, elements and industrial equipment. The development guidelines are graphically illustrated with diagrams showing zones, spaces and elements of significance and options for development potential.
