The purpose of the Development Control Plan The purpose of this Development Control Plan (DCP) is to amend the Sydney Development Control Plan 2012 (SDCP2012), adopted by Council on 14 May 2012 and which came into effect on 14 December 2012.

  • Phillip and the Eora Governing Race Relations in the Colony of New South Wales
    Phillip and the Eora Governing race relations in the colony of New South Wales Grace Karskens In the Botanic Gardens stands a grand monument to Arthur Phillip, the first governor of New South Wales. Erected 1897 for the Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, the elaborate fountain encapsulates late nineteenth century ideas about society and race. Phillip stands majestically at the top, while the Aboriginal people, depicted in bas relief panels, are right at the bottom. But this is not how Phillip acted towards Aboriginal people. In his own lifetime, he approached on the same ground, unarmed and open handed. He invited them into Sydney, built a house for them, shared meals with them at his own table.1 What was Governor Arthur Phillip's relationship with the Eora, and other Aboriginal people of the Sydney region?2 Historians and anthropologists have been exploring this question for some decades now. It is, of course, a loaded question. Phillip's policies, actions and responses have tended to be seen as a proxy for the Europeans in Australia as whole, just as his friend, the Wangal warrior Woolarawarre Bennelong, has for so long personified the fate of Aboriginal people since 1788.3 The relationship between Phillip and Bennelong has been read as representing not only settler-Aboriginal relations in those first four years but as the template for the following two centuries of cross-cultural relations. We are talking here about a grand narrative, driven in part by present-day moral conscience, and deep concerns about on-going issues of poverty, dysfunction and deprivation in many Aboriginal communities, about recognition of and restitution for past wrongs and about reconciliation between black and white Australians.

  • The Tank Stream Today
    Front cover photo: In the Tank Stream today. Photograph: Sydney Water. The Tank Stream Mason’s marks in the block work inside the Tank Stream tunnel. In recognition of the importance of the Tank Stream to the people of Sydney and New South Wales, it was protected by a Permanent Conservation Order in 1989 and entered on the NSW State Heritage Register in 1999. The Tank Stream is recognised as being of national importance to the European settlement of Australia. Aboriginal occupation Due to the almost immediate impact of European colonists, our knowledge of Sydney’s Aboriginal people is limited. Early settlers casual and systematic observations provide some insight, but basic information is missing or ambiguous. Even the names of the Aboriginal landscape with the names of the stream and the other features in the catchment have been lost. Recently researchers favour Gadigal (often spelt Cadigal) as the name of the group that had some rights and obligations for the land around Sydney Cove. The Gadigal spoke the coastal dialect of Dharug, which makes them part of a larger group within the Sydney region.
