HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT & RESEARCH DESIGN APPENDIX H Sydney Metro City & Southwest Chatswood to Sydenham - ARD Sydney Metro City & Southwest Chatswood to Sydenham Historical Archaeological Assessment & Research Design Report to Jacobs / Arcadis / RPS FINAL_14102016 October 2016 Page i Sydney Metro City & Southwest Chatswood to Sydenham - ARD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Project Background The proposed Sydney Metro City & Southwest Chatswood to Sydenham project (the project) is the subject of this Historical Archaeological Assessment and Research Design (ARD). The project would involve construction and operation of an underground rail line, about 15.5 kilometres long, and new stations between Chatswood and Sydenham. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) identified the potential for archaeological constraints and the need for the preparation of a historical ARD (mitigation measure NAH2) at all surface construction sites except Artarmon traction substation and Marrickville dive site (southern). This ARD has been prepared to comply with mitigation measure NAH2. The ten sites that are considered in this report are: x Chatswood dive site (northern) x Crows Nest Station x Victoria Cross Station x Blues Point temporary site x Barangaroo Station x Martin Place Station x Pitt Street Station x Central Station x Waterloo Station x Power Supply Routes – various locations near the metro rail line route. Archaeological Management The station and construction sites have been divided into archaeological management zones based on archaeological potential and construction impacts as submitted with the EIS. Archaeological management zone mapping provided in Section 13.3 is based on a ‘traffic light’ coding: x Red (Zone 1): Direct impact to significant archaeology. Archaeological investigation required prior to any construction impacts (bulk excavation etc.) x Amber (Zone 2): Potential impact to significant archaeology. Prepare Work Stage Specific Archaeological Method Statement (AMS) once construction methodology and impacts are known. Archaeological investigation is likely required x Green (Zone 3): Unlikely to contain significant archaeology. Construction to proceed with unexpected finds procedure as nil-low potential for significant archaeological remains.

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.
  • The Laird of Shoalhaven

    The Laird of Shoalhaven

    lllawarra Historical Society Bulletin April, 1980 13 THE LAIRD OF SHOALHAVEN: Miss Rachel Roxburgh, the speaker at our February meeting, is well known to most of our members, either personally or by reputa­ tion, particularly for her work on the National Trust. Her subject was "The Berry Estate at Coolangatta." Alexander Berry, born in Fife in 1781 , studied medicine at St. Andrews and Edinburgh, and became a surgeon in the East India Company's service. After three voyages to the East he left the service and medicine, partly, it is said, because he disliked the flog­ ging of seamen, partly because he saw greater opportunities in trading. Over the next few years he made several trading voyages, in the course of which he visited Van Diemen's Land , New South Wales and New Zealand, where he rescued the survivors of the Boyd massacre (including Betsy Broughton, afterwards Mrs. Charles Throsby of Throsby Park). Deciding to settle in New South Wales, Berry and his brother-in­ law Edward Wollstonecraft established a mercantile business in Sydney, and obtained from Governor Brisbane a promise of a grant of 10,000 acres on condition of taking and maintaining 100 convicts. They selected a site on the Shoalhaven. Wollstonecraft died not long after the qrant issued; but Berry expanded his estates by further grants and purchases till Coolangatta ultimately became the capital of a principality of more than 40,000 acres. He established on Brough­ ton Creek a private town, which now bears his name. To give his domain reliable communication with Sydney, he had a canal cut between the Shoalhaven River and Crookhaven, enabling ships to bypass the perilous bar at the river-mouth.

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.

    Nsn Summer | 2007 North Sydney Given Sound Bill of Health

    northsydneynews |nsn summer | 2007 North Sydney given sound bill of health North Sydney Council has been given a sound sustainability rating by asset management consultants Jeff Roorda & Associates. Mr Roorda told Council that its sustainability ratio of .7 was the highest of any council the company had assessed to date. The company was commissioned by council to assess the sustainability of North Sydney’s infrastructure and develop an asset management plan. The ratio assigned to assets was a measure of the average amount council spends on assets divided by the amount that should be spent for optimal maintenance. As well as giving us an overall rating, the plan rates individual asset categories. Regional roads (ratio of 1.28), footpaths (1.09), bus shelters (.85) street signs (.81) and local roads (.79) have acceptable ratings, while seawalls (.65) and drainage (.62) have been identified as priorities and have received additional funding from this year’s infrastructure levy funds (see page 11). Council’s overall financial position was also assessed as sound by Auditors Spencer Steer and Associates. The operating result for the year was a surplus of $7.138 million. General Manager Penny Holloway said she was pleased but not surprised by the good bill of health. “North Sydney is debt free, we operate on a small surplus each year and have $48 million invested. This achievement is particularly impressive when you consider that North Sydney continues to have the lowest average rates in Sydney and a high level of customer satisfaction with our services.” Other key financial results for the 2006/2007 financial year included: • a total amount of $3.194 million worth of unrestricted cash and investments, which is available for day-to-day operations • developer contributions increased substantially compared to the previous financial year • user charges and fees, as well as investment interest, provided additional revenue.

Balls Head Coal Loader Wharf Heritage Assessment 3. Coal Loader Structural Report ___________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Balls Head Coal Loader Wharf - Nomination on the State Heritage Register and Application for an Interim Heritage Order AUTHOR: Stephen Beattie, Manager Development Services ENDORSED BY: Joseph Hill Director City Strategy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report has been prepared in response to recent correspondence from the RMS indicating their intention to demolish the Balls Head Coal Loader Wharf in its entirety, due to safety risks posed by the deteriorating structure. The RMS is currently preparing a Review of Environmental Factors for the full removal of the wharf. The Coal Loader Wharf is currently listed as a heritage item within NSLEP 2013.However, the Coal Loader Wharf was assessed as having heritage significance at State level in the Waverton Peninsular Industrial Sites Conservation Management Plan 2000. This matter was extensively discussed in the Report of David Banbury, Landscape Architect which was considered by Council at its December 2015 meeting. The Office of Environment and Heritage advised Council, in a letter dated 27 January 2016, that if a detailed study of the subject item concludes that it may be of state significance, consideration should be given to its nomination on the State Heritage Register. In light of the current RMS proposal to demolish the wharf in its entirety, it is now considered appropriate that the nomination for listing on the State Heritage Register be expedited, in order to ensure the best possible conservation outcome for the Wharf.
