    Hornsby Junction Remodelling and Commuter Car Park Hornsby Junction Remodelling and Commuter Car Park Non-Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment Report to Jacobs on behalf of Transport for NSW January 2016 Page i Hornsby Junction Remodelling and Commuter Car Park EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Artefact Heritage has been engaged by Jacobs Group (Australia) Pty Ltd (Jacobs), on behalf of Transport for NSW, to undertake a non-Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the proposed Hornsby Junction Remodelling and Commuter car park. The Proposal includes the following scope of works: • Hornsby Junction Remodelling: installation, removal and reconditioning of track work, overhead wiring and signalling infrastructure between Waitara and Asquith. The Proposal would also include a new train driver’s walkway and a train ‘turnback’ facility (track work that allows trains to pass from one track on a diverging path) located about 30 metres south of Bridge Road, Hornsby. • Commuter car park: new multi-storey car park structure that provides approximately 230 additional parking spaces. The Proposal would also include a new vehicular entry and exit from the George Street/Burdett Street intersection (via reconfigured traffic signals) and the relocation of the high voltage overhead power lines (owned by Sydney Trains) from the site of the existing commuter car park. Overview of findings This HIA concludes that the construction of the commuter car park would have a moderate visual impact on two items of local heritage significance: • The Hornsby Railway Station group and Barracks, listed on the Railcorp (now Sydney Trains) section 170 register: The proposed carpark is likely to result in a moderate visual impact to the heritage railway station through the introduction of a structure currently occupied by ground-level carparking.

In December 2006, WCC announced that it had signed contracts with the Charter Hall Group to purchase the 99-year lease- hold of the Depot for what has been reported to be in excess of $51 million. WCC’s General Manager, John Owen, says redevelopment of the site will bol- ster economic activity in the industrial area, and allow the council to use the lease income on other projects such as Artarmon Library and the Chatswood Youth Centre. No doubt, the deal also offers certainty for the building of the new $150 million Civic Place in Chatswood, plans for which have been dogged by questions over funding.

  • Urban Consolidation – Its Impact on Sense of Place
    Urban consolidation – Its impact on sense of place. Prepared for Planning and Urban Development Program The Faculty of the Built Environment University of New South Wales By: Christina Heather - 3132447 The photo on the front describes some urban consolidation occurring within the Ku-ring-gai Council Local Government Area. The aerial photo is not up-to-date. Since the aerial photograph was taken, two other large sites, of similar size, have been excavated surrounding this house. Source of Aerial photograph: Department of Lands 2008. ABSTRACT Australia is one of the most urbanised societies in the world and the urban processes that have led to Sydney’s formation and growth have been dynamic. Population growth has placed pressure upon transport, health and education services, land availability and housing costs. Urban consolidation has been imposed by the State Government to limit urban sprawl, to ensure that all councils contribute to the supply of medium density housing, and to develop more space-efficient residential land use practices. This thesis examines the impact of urban consolidation on selected communities within middle-ring suburbs in metropolitan Sydney. It is argued that whilst urban consolidation is a positive force for change, a key element – the socio-cultural – is not being given due consideration. This thesis considers whether urban consolidation as expressed in the Transit Oriented Development approach has compromised the sense of place in some communities. The research findings indicate there is a risk that the lack of effective planning measures for better managing urban consolidation at the local level may lead to dramatic changes in the social-cultural character of suburbs.

  • Historical Archaeological Assessment & Research Design
    HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT & RESEARCH DESIGN APPENDIX H Sydney Metro City & Southwest Chatswood to Sydenham - ARD Sydney Metro City & Southwest Chatswood to Sydenham Historical Archaeological Assessment & Research Design Report to Jacobs / Arcadis / RPS FINAL_14102016 October 2016 Page i Sydney Metro City & Southwest Chatswood to Sydenham - ARD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Project Background The proposed Sydney Metro City & Southwest Chatswood to Sydenham project (the project) is the subject of this Historical Archaeological Assessment and Research Design (ARD). The project would involve construction and operation of an underground rail line, about 15.5 kilometres long, and new stations between Chatswood and Sydenham. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) identified the potential for archaeological constraints and the need for the preparation of a historical ARD (mitigation measure NAH2) at all surface construction sites except Artarmon traction substation and Marrickville dive site (southern). This ARD has been prepared to comply with mitigation measure NAH2. The ten sites that are considered in this report are: x Chatswood dive site (northern) x Crows Nest Station x Victoria Cross Station x Blues Point temporary site x Barangaroo Station x Martin Place Station x Pitt Street Station x Central Station x Waterloo Station x Power Supply Routes – various locations near the metro rail line route. Archaeological Management The station and construction sites have been divided into archaeological management zones based on archaeological potential and construction impacts as submitted with the EIS. Archaeological management zone mapping provided in Section 13.3 is based on a ‘traffic light’ coding: x Red (Zone 1): Direct impact to significant archaeology. Archaeological investigation required prior to any construction impacts (bulk excavation etc.) x Amber (Zone 2): Potential impact to significant archaeology.

  • The Curse of the Kalahari: the North Sydney Bears and the Ghosts of 1921-1922
    THE CURSE OF THE KALAHARI: THE NORTH SYDNEY BEARS AND THE GHOSTS OF 1921-1922 ANDREW MOORE MACARTHUR INSTITUTE I With the publication of two important books, Power play edited by Geoff Lawrence and David Rowe,. and Brian Stoddart's Saturday After- noon Fever, it can no longer be said that Australian historians and sociologists are ignoring issues associated with the relationship between sport and capitalism or the social construction of sport.' This article also eschews the antiquarianism that hitherto has passed for the history of rugby league2 and by examining particular issues associated with the story of the Rugby League Football Club (RLFC) of North Sydney attempts to link class analysis with sport history. A related goal is a preliminary rescuing of significant aspects of working class culture. With their traditional emphasis on institutionalised trade union history and on what has happened to workers in the bosses' time, Australian labour historians, even with their recent commitment to 'social history', have paid scant 3 attention to the proletariat at play. The article is divided into three major sections. The first outlines the highlights of the North Sydney RLFC's long but fre- quently unmeritorious career and looks at issues connected with sporting performance that might explain why these highlights have been so few and far between. The second examines the class basis of rugby league. The third surveys the social history of North Sydney from the 1920s to the present and postulates that the down- fall of the North Sydney RLFC can be related to three related social forces - the progressive geographical dismantlement of North Sydney, its diminished sense of community identity, and the chang- ing balance of class forces in the district.
