Crown St. WoIlongong. c.1830-1995 I' Anne Bickford & Associates Heritage Consultants for WoIlongong City Council, August 1996 I I' I· 5 I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I A burial ground was established on the coast of Wollongong at what is now lower Crown Street in about 1830, even before the town of ,I Wollongong was laid out by government surveyors. From about 1830 to 1840 it was used by all denominations and in 1841 it became the Roman Catholic Burial Ground. At its closure in 1861 there were 155 burials listed in the Burial Register, but as many as 200 people may be I buried there, as the Register reflects not so much the number of burials as the availability of the priest to record them. After the cemetery was ,I closed three further interments of the Andrew Lysaght family were made, to accompany an earlier Lysaght burial. This is the .oldest cemetery in the Wollongong area and is thus of considerable historical I significance. In 1969 under the Old Roman Catholic Cemetery, Crown Street, I Wollongong Act, the cemetery was divided up by the Department of Lands between Trustees of the Wollongong Sportsground Trust, the Department of Main Roads, and the Wollongong City Council. The I Council remodelled its portion of the cemetery into a rest park, called Andrew Lysaght Park, and mounted the remaining legible headstones I from the old cemetery into a commemorative wall in the park. The purpose of this Conservation Plan is to discuss the history and significance of the old cemetery, to assess its original location and I boundaries, and to respond to other issues referred to in the brief. As a new Entertainment Centre is to be built on the Wollongong , Sports ground Trust's site, and adjacent Andrew Lysaght Park is to be remodelled as its eastern forecourt, a Conservation Plan is necessary to address the heritage issues involved and to provide advice concerning I the burials. Using the historical research generated by this Conservation Plan, between December 1995 and March 1996 ·an archaeological excavation I took place on the Wollongong Sportsground Trust's site to see if any graves lay in the path of the Entertainment Centre development.

  • Plan of Management for Andrew Lysaght Park and That the Park Continues to Be Maintained As a Rest Park
    Andrew Lysaght Park Plan of Management PLAN OF MANAGEMENT FOR ANDREW LYSAGHT PARK Adopted 16 DECEMBER 2002 Wollongong City Council 1 Andrew Lysaght Park Plan of Management INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Andrew Lysaght Park is a unique and special public place. It was originally part of a Roman Catholic Cemetery, with burials being recorded between 1830 and 1914. As Wollongong’s oldest burial ground it is the resting-place of some of the city’s pioneering families. First created as a direct result of the Old Roman Catholic Cemetery, Crown Street, Wollongong Act, 1969, Andrew Lysaght Park is Crown land dedicated as a public park and is required to be maintained by the trustee, Wollongong City Council, as a rest park. Council redeveloped the Park as a foreshore plaza and raised terrace in 1998, in conjunction with the construction of the Wollongong Entertainment Centre building. Its rest park status was acknowledged through the display of headstones and other memorials from the former cemetery, together with a number of pieces of public art in the southern end of the park. It was intended that the site function as a key urban space between the foreshore and the Wollongong Entertainment Centre complex. Andrew Lysaght Park has recently been under a number of development pressures associated with the adjoining WIN Stadium and the Entertainment Centre. Community concerns in regard to the impact of these developments on the Park and more specifically burial sites has resulted in significant community debate and the enactment of the Wollongong Sportsground and Old Roman Catholic Cemetery Legislation Amendment (Transfer of Land) Bill 2001.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] A History of Aboriginal Illawarra, Volume 2 : Colonisation Abstract Near Broulee Point, south of Batemans Bay, once stood a wooden look-out platform used for generations by Leonard Nye’s family. The Dhurga were fisherfolk and through the ages they would gather to assess the seas and the weather before setting off. The oj b of the lookout who remained there was to signal those on the water and on the beach below about the location and direction of sea mammals and shoals of fish. Such lookout posts exist also at Hill 60 at Port Kembla and up and down the South Coast, and it is from them that people observed the passage of James Cook’s ship in 1770. One of them told her granddaughter Coomee, who died at Ulladulla in 1914, all about “the first time the white birds came by”. During the vessel’s slow northward movement along the South Coast over eight days, heavy surf at Bulli Beach prevented a provisioning party from getting ashore on 28 April.

The Right Worshipful the Lord Mayor Alderman Harry Graham, fi rst Mayor of the Councillor Alex Darling AM 2007 City of Greater Wollongong 1947 FOREWORD Where have all the years gone? I was thirteen when the Greater City of Wollongong was gazetted by the State Government on 12 September 1947 and living in Harbour Street near South Beach at the time. How Wollongong has changed over the past 60 years. Back then it was a coastal working town, with steel making and coal mining its primary economic heart. Today Wollongong is known as a regional centre with a population fast approaching 200000 residents and an economic diversity in education, tourism and traditional manufacturing wrapped up in the tag “City of Innovation”. The past 60 years have indeed been exciting ones of growth and maturity and this commemorative book 60 Stories For 60 Years includes many stories that have infl uenced the lives of local citizens over this time. On behalf of Wollongong City Council I congratulate those whose memories were chosen to be published in this commemorative book and thank all residents who provided a memory of the past 60 years. Yours sincerely Alex Darling AM Lord Mayor City of Wollongong WOLLONGONG CREST The City of Greater Wollongong Council wrote to the Illawarra Historical Society on 13 August 1948 stating that the newly formed Council invited designs for a new “Council Crest”.
