Abstract Title: Bronze Southern Doors of the Mitchell Library, Sydney. The building of the major part of the Mitchell Library (1939 - 1942) resulted in four pairs of bronze entrance doors, three on the northern facade and one on the southern facade. The three pairs on the northern facade of the library are obvious to everyone entering the library from Shakespeare Place and are well documented. However very little has been written on the pair on the southern facade apart from brief mentions in two books of the State Library buildings, so few people know of their existence. Sadly the excellent bronze doors on the southern facade of the library cannot readily be opened and are largely hidden from view due to the 1987 construction of the Glass House skylight between the newly built main wing of the State Library of New South Wales and the Mitchell Library. These doors consist of six square panels featuring bas-reliefs of different early printers’ marks and two rectangular panels at the bottom with New South Wales wildflowers. -

Concrete Slab and Arch Bridges 101 Masonry Bridges Heritage Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW 2005 1 Historical Overview of Bridge Types in NSW: Extract from the Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO MASONRY BRIDGES IN NSW 1.1 History of early bridges constructed in NSW Bridges constructed prior to the 1830s were relatively simple forms. The majority of these were timber structures, with the occasional use of stone piers. The first bridge constructed in NSW was built in 1788. The bridge was a simple timber bridge constructed over the Tank Stream, near what is today the intersection of George and Bridge Streets in the Central Business District of Sydney. Soon after it was washed away and needed to be replaced. The first "permanent" bridge in NSW was this bridge's successor. This was a masonry and timber arch bridge with a span of 24 feet erected in 1803 (Figure 1.1). However this was not a triumph of colonial bridge engineering, as it collapsed after only three years' service. It took a further five years for the bridge to be rebuilt in an improved form. The contractor who undertook this work received payment of 660 gallons of spirits, this being an alternative currency in the Colony at the time (Main Roads, 1950: 37) Figure 1.1 “View of Sydney from The Rocks, 1803”, by John Lancashire (Dixson Galleries, SLNSW). -
Phillips, Michael
Australian Earthquake Engineering Society 2013 Conference, Nov 15-17 2013, Hobart, Tas Measuring Bridge Characteristics to Predict their Response in Earthquakes Michael Phillips1 and Kevin McCue2 1. EPSO Seismic, PO Box 398, Coonabarabran, NSW 2357. Email: [email protected] 2. Adjunct Professor, Central Queensland University, Rockhampton, Qld 4701. Email: [email protected] Abstract During 2011 and 2012 we measured the response of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (SHB) to ambient vibration, and determined the natural frequencies and damping of various low-order resonance modes. These measurements were conducted using a simple triaxial MEMS acceleration sensor located at the mid-point of the road deck. The effectiveness of these measurements suggested that a full mapping of modal amplitudes along the road deck could be achieved by making many incremental measurements along the deck, then using software to integrate these data. To accommodate the briefer spot-measurements required, improved recording equipment was acquired, resulting in much improved data quality. Plotting the SHB deck motion data with 3D graphics nicely presents the modal amplitude characteristics of various low order modes, and this analysis technique was then applied to a more complex bridge structure, namely the road deck of Sydney’s Cahill Expressway Viaduct. Unlike the single span of the SHB, the Cahill Expressway Viaduct (CHE) dramatically changes its modal behavior along its length, and our analysis system highlights a short section of this elevated roadway that is seismically vulnerable. On the basis of these observations, the NSW Roads & Maritime Services (RMS) indicated that they will conduct an investigation into the structure at this location. -

The O'Farrell Government risks a dangerous precedent here with respect to the need for any traffic studies, for any reason, in the future.

Macquarie Street and East Circular Quay Sydney New Year's Eve
December 2018 2018 Sydney New Year’s Eve – Macquarie Street and East Circular Quay Sydney New Year’s Eve attracts over a million people to Sydney Harbour and more than one billion people across the globe. Getting in and out of the city is different on New Year’s Eve. There will be road closures, on-street fencing and diversions to help people get around safely. Changed parking conditions Once a road is closed, you, your guests, or suppliers / contractors will not be able to gain access to or exit from car parks and loading docks. Sections of Macquarie Street will be closed from as early as 4am on the morning of New Year’s Eve. It is an offence to drive on closed roads, even from car parks. Plan your movements ahead of time. Special event clearway parking restrictions These will be in place on Macquarie Street, Circular Quay and throughout the Sydney CBD early on New Year’s Eve until New Year’s Day. Clearways are strict ‘no-parking’ zones, even for local residents and mobility scheme permit holders. Vehicles in clearways will be towed and a fee will apply. Special event clearways will be in effect from: 2am on New Year’s Eve to 4am on New Year’s Day on Macquarie Street between Bridge Street and the Opera House roundabout (both sides). 6am on New Year’s Eve to 4am on New Year’s Day on roads through East Circular Quay and remainder of the Sydney CBD. Look for the bright yellow signs and read them carefully when parking, particularly on the night before. -

TMP SUBJECT: (4.4) 2015 Sydney Running Festival - Traffic Management Plan AUTHOR: Report of Manager Traffic and Transport Operations, Michaela Kemp DESCRIPTION/SUBJECT MATTER: Events & Sports Australia has submitted an application for the annual Blackmore’s Sydney Running Festival to be held on Sunday 20th September 2015. The event comprises four different courses with similar routes to last year’s event. The North Sydney leg for each course will start from Bradfield Park via Alfred Street, Middlemiss Street, Arthur Street Tunnel/ Lavender Street and Pacific Highway to the Harbour Bridge. Road closures between 4am and 11am and special event clearways between 1am and 10am in areas of Milsons Point, Lavender Bay and Kirribilli are proposed on the day. These will be implemented under Police and RMS control. The applicant has also provided Traffic Control Plans for pedestrian management between Milsons Point Train Station and the event marshalling area in Bradfield Park. The plans include water-filled and crowd control barriers on the western side of Ennis Road and Broughton Street, closure of the exit on the western side of Milsons Point Train Station in liaison with Sydney Trains, and a reduced temporary 40 km/h speed limit for Broughton Street during the event. Speed limit authorisations require approval from RMS. Standard or Guideline Used: RMS Traffic Control for Work Sites, AS 1742.3; RMS Special Events Guide Signs & Lines Priority: N/A Precinct and Ward: Various, Victoria Impact on Bicycles: Bicycle access to be managed under traffic control as outlined in plans Impact on Pedestrians: Impacts as outlined in plans Impact on Parking: Clearways to be imposed in some areas, as outlined in plans RECOMMENDATION: 1.
