I would like to thank the following people for assisting me throughout the process of writing this thesis . Firstly, to my thesis advisor, Associate Professor, Bob Zehner . Thank you for your patience and guidance over the last semester . I am thankful for all the time that you have dedicated to helping me write a thesis I am proud of . To my interviewees, thank you for your input . Without it, this thesis would not have been possible . To Andrew Lynch, thank you so much for all of your input, patience and selflessness . Your kindness and willingness to help others is greatly appreciated . To my family, I dedicate my thesis to you . I am so thankful to have a family that has supported me through everything I have ever done in life and has always encouraged me to ‘think big ’. And finally, to my partner, Carla Mamaril . I will never forget how much you have helped me during the writing of this thesis . I will be forever grateful for all that you have done to make the final product of this thesis something that I am very proud of . Your patience, kindness and support, has been inspiring . Cameron Byrne, 2007 v introduction The Significance of Millers Point ‘One aspect of human needs is the urge to discover our roots and origins . We need a cultural heritage to provide explanation and meaning, as to why we are living our lives in the style we do today’ . (Chin, 2002 p .372) The above statement highlights the need for people to understand their existence by connecting with their past to discover their origins . The key word in this instance is ‘connection ’. The neighbourhood and community of Millers Point connect people with Sydney’s origins in several ways, however this is most evident and appreciated in the range of historic architecture present in the area, some of which dates from as far back as the 1810s . The Millers Point precinct itself is located at the northern end of Sydney’s Central Business District, behind the waterfront of Walsh Bay . Millers Point occupies the north-western peninsula of Sydney Cove and is situated immediately west of the southern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge . Bound by the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the east, Millers Point is separated from the commercial/tourist precinct of The Rocks, allowing it to maintain its residential village character . It provides a unique connection with the past, allowing a glimpse of the lifestyles and housing styles of Australia’s colonial ancestors . “Together these precincts share an architectural landscape containing buildings and civic spaces’ dating from the 1830’s and are considered to be of outstanding state and national significance; as residential and commercial precincts have remained substantially intact ”. (Davies, 2007 p .147) Furthermore, “buildings from every decade between 1810 and 1930 can be found within the boundaries of Millers Point making the area a unique record of Australian Urban life ”. (Beamer, 20 June 2003) Millers Point is remembered for the working class culture from which it has originated . The area developed from a mercantile economy (McGuirk & Waitt 1996, p .15) which was supported by a resident working class of ‘wharfies ’. The establishment of Sydney as a port city contributed heavily to the growth of Millers Point into a working class neighbourhood .

  • Millers Point and Walsh Bay Heritage Review (March 2007) Recommendations
    ATTACHMENT E ATTACHMENT E MILLERS POINT AND WALSH BAY HERITAGE REVIEW (MARCH 2007) RECOMMENDATIONS Note: The final Millers Point and Walsh Bay Heritage Review (March 2007) can be viewed on Council’s website at: http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/Development/HeritageInformation/ MillersPointAndWalshBayHeritage.asp ATTACHMENT E 6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS This section sets out the recommendations that arise from this study. They relate to the creation of a Heritage Conservation Area, identification of places of individual heritage significance, planning considerations and management of both the private and public aspects of the study area. The recommendations are proposed within the framework that the whole of the area is of very high heritage value, that overall it should be retained and managed as it is currently being managed and that there should not be major or dramatic changes to the area or its character. It is also noted that there is limited opportunity for new buildings or elements to be added to the area, the recent development having occupied most of the vacant and available development sites. 6.1 Heritage Conservation Area 1 It is recommended that the appropriate form of heritage protection for the area is the recognition of a Millers Point/Walsh Bay Heritage Conservation Area in the City of Sydney LEP Schedule. This changes the status of the area from the current ‘Special Area’ LEP listing. This would be consistent with the planning management of other areas of heritage significance within the broader City of Sydney local government area and can provide uniform controls and management. 2 The proposed revised area boundary should be adopted as the Heritage Conservation Area boundary as set out in figure 6.1 and 6.2.

  • From Its First Occupation by Europeans After 1788, the Steep Slopes on The
    The Rocks The Rocks is the historic neighbourhood situated on the western side of Sydney Cove. The precinct rises steeply behind George Street and the shores of West Circular Quay to the heights of Observatory Hill. It was named the Rocks by convicts who made homes there from 1788, but has a much older name, Tallawoladah, given by the first owners of this country, the Cadigal. Tallawoladah, the rocky headland of Warrane (Sydney Cove), had massive outcrops of rugged sandstone, and was covered with dry schlerophyll forest of pink-trunked angophora, blackbutt, red bloodwood and Sydney peppermint. The Cadigal probably burnt the bushland here to keep the country open. Archaeological evidence shows that they lit cooking fires high on the slopes, and shared meals of barbequed fish and shellfish. Perhaps they used the highest places for ceremonies and rituals; down below, Cadigal women fished the waters of Warrane in bark canoes.1 After the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Tallawoladah became the convicts’ side of the town. While the governor and civil personnel lived on the more orderly easterm slopes of the Tank Stream, convict women and men appropriated land on the west. Some had leases, but most did not. They built traditional vernacular houses, first of wattle and daub, with thatched roofs, later of weatherboards or rubble stone, roofed with timber shingles. They fenced off gardens and yards, established trades and businesses, built bread ovens and forges, opened shops and pubs, and raised families. They took in lodgers – the newly arrived convicts - who slept in kitchens and skillions.
