  • MANLY FERRIES BALGOWLAH, BARRENJOEY and BARAGOOLA
    MANLY FERRIES BALGOWLAH, BARRENJOEY and BARAGOOLA Tony Prescott and Ross Willson This article originally appeared in The Log, vol. 12, no. 3 New Series (25 August 1979), pp. 78-85 It has been edited for digital publication on 27 December 2007. © The authors 2007. Drawings © Peter Nicolson 1970. Baragoola in the 1980s, in her final years as a government-operated ferry. (Tony Prescott) INTRODUCTION The popular image of the Manly ferry during the present century has very much evolved around the "class" (to use a naval term loosely) of six very similar double-ended screw steamers built for the Port Jackson Co-operative Steamship Co. Ltd. and the Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Co. Ltd. between 1905 and 1922. These six steamers were to be eclipsed in size, speed, accommodation and glamour by the Scottish-built Dee Why and Curl Curl of 1928 (The Log, May 1977) and South Steyne of 1938 (The Log, August 1983, November 1983). However, the smaller boats were to prove more economically practical in the long-term and two of them, both to be described in this article, are still in service while the Scottish boats have been withdrawn. Up to the early years of this century, the Port Jackson company operated a fleet consisting almost entirely of paddle steamers. The reason for the relatively late transition to screw propulsion lay in the necessity of using double-ended ships due to the configuration of Sydney Harbour with its many coves and the difficulties of turning in the Circular Quay terminus. Smaller double-ended ferries had been found to operate quite successfully with screw propulsion, but the Manly service had speed and heavy weather requirements which necessitated fine bows on the ships.

  • Advisory. Research. Valuations. Projects
    charterkc.com.au ADVISORY. RESEARCH. VALUATIONS. PROJECTS. INTRODUCTION Melbourne continues to emerge as a city of international significance. It was ranked as the world’s most liveable city for seven consecutive years between 2011-2017 and was ranked second in 2018 and 2019. Melbourne contains two universities ranked in the top 100 global universities. Victoria, the second-largest economy in Australia, contracted by -0.5% over FY 19/20 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the year to October 2020 the total number of people employed in Victoria fell by 124,600. Broad based industry shutdowns over the August – October period as a result of a second wave of COVID-19 infections caused a further contraction in the Victorian economy. As a result Victoria’s economic recovery is likely to be slower than that of other Australian states. DEMAND CONSIDERATIONS Victoria is the fastest-growing state in Australia and has recorded the highest population growth rate since Q3-2015. The majority of this growth has occurred within metropolitan Melbourne. Victoria in Future 2019 projections forecast that over the 2016 – 2051 period metropolitan Melbourne will house an additional 1.57 million households. Recent population growth across metropolitan Melbourne has been underpinned by high levels of overseas migration. The current border restrictions in place as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic will result in population growth falling below that forecast in the short term. SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS Melbourne’s housing stock is predominantly represented by detached housing; however, policy aspirations aim to achieve greater levels of higher density dwellings to accommodate future population growth.
