A rail replacement bus can take more than 42 minutes to travel from Central Station to International Airport Station. By train, from Central Station to International Airport Station via Wolli Creek it will only take between 17 and 24 minutes, including interchange and wait time at Wolli Creek. Wolli Creek is not a usual station to interchange at for many of our customers. Because of this, many of our customers may be travelling on a route unfamiliar to them, and we need your help to assist them with accurate interchange advice. Your assistance is crucial to the success of this train plan. Please make the targeted Wolli Creek interchange announcements. Thank you.

    3.4. HISTORICAL TIMELINE The following tables contains a chronology of significant events in the history of the site and the subject building as summarised from Sections 3.2 and 3.3 and building/development application information drawn from the City of Sydney Planning Cards. The development of the site can generally be separated into four phases of development, as follows: 1. New Belmore Market 1893 - 1913 2. Wirths Hippodrome 1914 – 1926 3. Capitol Theatre 1927 – 1991 4. Restored Capitol Theatre 1992 – Present Table 4 – Historical Timeline Date Event 1866 Construction of Belmore Markets begins on a site bounded by Castlereagh, Hay, Pitt and Campbell. 1869 Belmore Markets opens on 14 May. Phase 1: New Belmore Markets 1893 Second Belmore Markets (Capitol site) open. Used for theatrical and circus performances on Saturday nights. 1910 Council decides that the Tivoli and Capitol (two theatres) would be erected on the sites of the old and new Belmore Markets. 1912 Wirth Bros takes a 10-week lease on the new Belmore Theatre for a ‘circus and hippodrome’. The council claimed the auditorium could be used as hippodrome, circus, theatre, opera house, concert hall, vaudeville entertainment hall or for photo plays (early silent motion pictures). Phase 2: Wirths Hippodrome 1914-1915 Belmore Markets dismantled and re-erected as the Hippodrome – home of Wirths Circus in Australia.

Many of the difficulties the Gallery currently faces are a legacy of staged, incremental development. In most instances each phase has been initiated in order to accommodate the expanding needs of the Gallery’s audiences. The existing heritage fabric of the Gallery limits direct access for people with a disability and families with prams, and maintains a singular small and closed, yet attractive, facade to the entrance. ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES MASTERPLAN FRAMEWORK 44 5 Heritage JOHNSON PILTON WALKER 45 5 Heritage History Brief history of the Art Gallery of New South Wales Major Milestones The Art Gallery of New South Wales traces its origins to a public meeting on April 24, 1871, which established an “Academy of Art” for ‘the purpose of promoting the fine arts through lecture, art classed and regular exhibitions.’ The physical realisation of this ambition however, first begins with the assembly of a collection in the Art Walter Liberty Vernon’s design Vernon’s completed galleries and vestibule The Asian Wing Annex at the International Exhibition of 1879. Since 1885, the collection has been housed and displayed at its current location in the Domain, adjacent to the eastern entrance to the Royal Botanic Gardens.
