EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1. BACKGROUND Architectural Projects were commissioned by the Department of Planning and Environment to prepare this Heritage Impact Assessment for the proposed State Significant Precinct (SSP) at 36-50 Cumberland Street (Sirius Site) to consider the potential impact any new development may have on heritage items in the vicinity. 1.2. SUMMARY OF HISTORICAL CONTEXT The Sirius Site is located on the traditional land of the Cadigal Aboriginal people. The site was developed from the 1820s. The Rocks traditionally contained larger houses on the ridge that were substantial and well built. By the 1840s the area became a fashionable suburb. Following 1837, town houses similar to those existing in The Rocks area were erected on Bunker’s Hill (east of the site). A number of substantial blocks of townhouses were built at the northern end of Cumberland and Gloucester Streets, none of which remain today. The Myles Buildings (34-38 Cumberland Street), Goodsir’s Buildings (30-32 Cumberland Street) and Young’s Buildings (20-24 Cumberland Street) and Purchase’s single town house (18 Cumberland Street) were constructed. By the 1850s the area had declined considerably. In November 1900 The Rocks Resumption Plan was announced. Most of The Rocks came into public ownership in 1900 following an epidemic of bubonic plague, when lands were resumed by the government and large areas of housing were demolished. An advisory board consisting of Messrs Hickson, Davis and Vernon submitted a scheme for the replanning of the area in 1903, which was the basis for the realignment of streets and redevelopment of The Rocks, which included development of terrace housing and residential flat buildings. Prior to the First World War a limited redevelopment program for housing in The Rocks commenced and continued into the 1920s. Following realignment of Cumberland Street, a number of housing board buildings were erected between 1913-1916. These consisted of bond stores, warehouses and government office buildings such as the Rowan Bond Stores at 36-50 Cumberland Street, and the Ajax Warehouse at 23 George Street North. In January 1915, the first building in Sydney built of reinforced concrete was erected by the Public Works Department at 23 George Street .This occupied the northern part of the site. South of the 23 George Street, and the Ajax building warehouse, the Rowans Bond Store can be seen in a 1930 photo which indicates the construction of arches to the Sydney Harbour Bridge . The construction of Sydney Harbour Bridge (1925—1932) split The Rocks peninsula along its spine and changed the street configuration and housing typology in the area, with the area west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge being identified as Millers Point. In the late 1950s, the construction of the Cahill Expressway across Circular Quay

  • 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.
