Hornsby Junction Remodelling and Commuter Car Park Projects Non
Hornsby Junction Remodelling and Commuter Car Park Hornsby Junction Remodelling and Commuter Car Park Non-Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment Report to Jacobs on behalf of Transport for NSW January 2016 Page i Hornsby Junction Remodelling and Commuter Car Park EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Artefact Heritage has been engaged by Jacobs Group (Australia) Pty Ltd (Jacobs), on behalf of Transport for NSW, to undertake a non-Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the proposed Hornsby Junction Remodelling and Commuter car park. The Proposal includes the following scope of works: • Hornsby Junction Remodelling: installation, removal and reconditioning of track work, overhead wiring and signalling infrastructure between Waitara and Asquith. The Proposal would also include a new train driver’s walkway and a train ‘turnback’ facility (track work that allows trains to pass from one track on a diverging path) located about 30 metres south of Bridge Road, Hornsby. • Commuter car park: new multi-storey car park structure that provides approximately 230 additional parking spaces. The Proposal would also include a new vehicular entry and exit from the George Street/Burdett Street intersection (via reconfigured traffic signals) and the relocation of the high voltage overhead power lines (owned by Sydney Trains) from the site of the existing commuter car park. Overview of findings This HIA concludes that the construction of the commuter car park would have a moderate visual impact on two items of local heritage significance: • The Hornsby Railway Station group and Barracks, listed on the Railcorp (now Sydney Trains) section 170 register: The proposed carpark is likely to result in a moderate visual impact to the heritage railway station through the introduction of a structure currently occupied by ground-level carparking. -
M2 Upgrade Environmental Assessment NSW Roads and Traffic Authority 23
3. Project alternatives This section outlines the project development process, examines the possible alternatives to the project and explains the design decisions that have led to the formulation of the preferred project that is the subject of this environmental assessment. Director-General’s Requirements Where addressed Project justification This justification must include an assessment of alternatives considered Chapter 3 demonstrate that the project will enhance the use of public transport Sections 3.1, 9.1 demonstrate that the project will not unduly induce traffic and exacerbate congestion in Sections 3.1, 9.1 the medium to longer term within the adjoining subregions The assessment must specifically address how the proposed park and ride facility will Section 3.1.3 enhance public transport patronage, including a cost benefit analysis 3.1 Alternatives to the project As demonstrated in Chapter 2 of this report, there is a need to address existing constraints and traffic congestion on the M2 Motorway, as it currently operates as the second most trafficked corridor in Sydney. In its current form, the M2 Upgrade project provides an opportunity to better utilise an existing asset, by adding to it to increase its capacity. A range of alternatives to the M2 Upgrade project were identified and considered as part of the development of the project, including the following: x Alternative one – Do nothing. x Alternative two – Other road based improvement options, including: Line marking to add additional lanes within the existing carriageway. Upgrade of the local sub-arterial and arterial road network. x Alternative three – Provision of public transport – increase provision for public transport within the M2 Motorway catchment. -

In December 2006, WCC announced that it had signed contracts with the Charter Hall Group to purchase the 99-year lease- hold of the Depot for what has been reported to be in excess of $51 million. WCC’s General Manager, John Owen, says redevelopment of the site will bol- ster economic activity in the industrial area, and allow the council to use the lease income on other projects such as Artarmon Library and the Chatswood Youth Centre. No doubt, the deal also offers certainty for the building of the new $150 million Civic Place in Chatswood, plans for which have been dogged by questions over funding.

Urban Consolidation – Its Impact on Sense of Place
Urban consolidation – Its impact on sense of place. Prepared for Planning and Urban Development Program The Faculty of the Built Environment University of New South Wales By: Christina Heather - 3132447 The photo on the front describes some urban consolidation occurring within the Ku-ring-gai Council Local Government Area. The aerial photo is not up-to-date. Since the aerial photograph was taken, two other large sites, of similar size, have been excavated surrounding this house. Source of Aerial photograph: Department of Lands 2008. ABSTRACT Australia is one of the most urbanised societies in the world and the urban processes that have led to Sydney’s formation and growth have been dynamic. Population growth has placed pressure upon transport, health and education services, land availability and housing costs. Urban consolidation has been imposed by the State Government to limit urban sprawl, to ensure that all councils contribute to the supply of medium density housing, and to develop more space-efficient residential land use practices. This thesis examines the impact of urban consolidation on selected communities within middle-ring suburbs in metropolitan Sydney. It is argued that whilst urban consolidation is a positive force for change, a key element – the socio-cultural – is not being given due consideration. This thesis considers whether urban consolidation as expressed in the Transit Oriented Development approach has compromised the sense of place in some communities. The research findings indicate there is a risk that the lack of effective planning measures for better managing urban consolidation at the local level may lead to dramatic changes in the social-cultural character of suburbs. -

Fact Sheet 4
CHATSWOOD CBD Fact Sheet no.4 The Cammeraygal People: The Cammeraygal people of the Guringai nation lived in the Willoughby area until the 1820s and are recorded as being in the northern parts of the Sydney region for approximately 5,800 years. By 1830 there were no Aboriginal people following a traditional lifestyle in the area. Geography: Chatswood is a north shore suburb lying 10 kilometres north of the Sydney CBD. Chatswood CBD is defined by Archer Street in the east, the Pacific Highway in the west, Albert Street to the south and Help Street/ Ferguson Lane in the north. Demographics: In 1865, 400 people lived in the Municipality of North Willoughby and almost all of the land in East Chatswood was owned by a few large landholders. The NSW Statistical Register states that the population of Willoughby comprised 3,921 people in 1890. In 1961 the population of the Municipality had grown to 53,683. Since those days the population of central Chatswood has grown rapidly, especially since the 1980s with the construction of numerous modern apartment blocks. In the 2011 Australian census, the total population of Chatswood was 21,194 people; 10,068 (47%) were male and 11,126 (53%) were female. The number of residents born in Australia was 7,850. Of those born overseas, the most common countries were China (excluding Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) (2,888), South Korea (1,642), Hong Kong (1,148), England (598), and Taiwan (526). The most common ancestry groups were Chinese (6,645), English (3,723), Australian (3,118), Korean (1,816), and Irish (1,258).
