Heritage Impact Assessment Sub Base Platypus, North Sydney Torpedo Factory Renewal Project HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT Source: Harbour Trust, 2020 Prepared for: Sydney Harbour Federation Trust Prepared by: Lucas, Stapleton, Johnson and Partners Pty. Ltd. The Trust Building, Suite 303/155 King Street Sydney NSW 2000 Telephone: (02) 9357 4811 FINAL ISSUE Date: 9th November 2020 © Lucas, Stapleton, Johnson and Partners Pty. Ltd. 2020 Issue Date Reviewed by Approved Draft Issue 23/09/2020 SJ SJ Issue 22/10/2020 SHFT Issue 04/11/2020 SHFT Final Issue 09/11/2020 LSJ LSJ Executive Summary This Heritage Impact Statement analyses the potential heritage impact of a proposal for works to the Torpedo Factory, located at Sub Base Platypus, North Sydney. The proposal involves the demolition of the multi-level, harbour facing portion and part of the High Street portion of the Torpedo Factory building in order to provide additional public space for community use and amenity as part of the greater adaption of the site. The aims and visions for Sub Base Platypus are outlined in the Management Plan: Platypus, North Sydney (2016) and the amended Draft Management Plan: Platypus, North Sydney (2020), which incorporates the current proposal. Sub Base Platypus, North Sydney (Platypus) is a former gas works (1877-1932), torpedo factory (1942-1999) and submarine base (1967-1999), that is now under the care and management of the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust (The Harbour Trust), a Commonwealth government agency. Today, Sub Base Platypus functions in part as a public park with buildings and facilities adapted for a range of cultural, recreational, community and commercial uses, with car parking. Sub Base Platypus is not included on the Commonwealth Heritage List, however it has been identified as possessing potential Commonwealth Heritage values as per the (former) HMAS Platypus Conservation Management Plan 2008, prepared by Clive Lucas, Stapleton & Partners. Sub Base Platypus is not listed on the State Heritage Register. Sub Base Platypus is listed as a heritage item in Schedule 5 of the North Sydney Local Environment Plan (LEP) 2013, as “Gasworks remains, HMAS Platypus”, 1 Kiara Close, North Sydney & 118-138 High Street, North Sydney, Item no. I0859. This report has been prepared by Lucas, Stapleton, Johnson & Partners (LSJ) on behalf of the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust (Harbour Trust), as the proponent. The purpose of this report is to identify the site’s heritage values, assess the potential heritage impacts of the proposal, and provide guidelines and measures for appropriate mitigation of potential impacts in relation to the identified Commonwealth Heritage Values of the place. The assessment has been informed by the Harbour Trust’s Comprehensive Plan, the Platypus Management Plans (current and draft) and the (former) HMAS Platypus North Sydney Conservation Management Plan (CMP) for the site. The report has been prepared in accordance with the principles of the Australia ICOMOS Charter for Places of Cultural Significance (The Burra Charter) and the Commonwealth Heritage Principles in accordance with the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC Act) 1999. Outcomes Based on the assessment of potential heritage impacts undertaken for this report, in our opinion, the proposal to substantially demolish the Torpedo Factory at Sub Base Platypus, North Sydney will have negative impacts on the cultural significance of the building and the place as a whole. Although the (former) HMAS Platypus North Sydney Conservation Management Plan 2008 allows for the removal of buildings and fabric graded as being of Some significance, such as the Torpedo Factory, this is qualified by the requirement that removal is only considered appropriate if the removal of the building is found to be “necessary for community amenity or commercial necessity” (Policy 8 of the CMP 2008). The Harbour Trust, in taking into account the community’s feedback, considers that the current proposal is necessary for community amenity through the provision of additional public open space whilst retaining and interpreting heritage fabric. The proposal will substantially increase the amount of open landscaped area provided for at Platypus, complementing the existing parklands at the northern end of the site. The proposal will also increase the green connection between Platypus and Kesterton Park to the south, offering further public benefit. In our opinion, the proposal will result in the loss of significant fabric, a diminishment of the potential historical and social Commonwealth Heritage Values of the place, a dilution of the robust industrial/maritime/defence character that defines Platypus and will reduce the ability to interpret the significant history of the Torpedo Establishment era of the place. As such, the proposed action is considered as having a significant impact on the environment (specifically, the heritage values) of the place, within the meaning of the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999. It is noted that the Harbour Trust will be referring the proposal to the Minister in accordance with the requirements of the EPBC Act. Opportunities exist to mitigate, in part, the impacts of the proposal within the detailed design documentation via the implementation of interpretation devices and strategies, including (but not limited to): Incorporating as many vestiges of the Torpedo Factory building as possible into the design of the proposed open, landscaped terraces. Retaining physical evidence of the building’s footprint to interpret the full extent of the building. Undertaking further research into the working lives of former employees of the Torpedo Factory (including oral histories), to increase knowledge about the use of the building and social aspects of working at the Torpedo Establishment.

Introduction This Heritage Impact Statement analyses the potential heritage impact of a proposal for works to the Torpedo Factory, located at Sub Base Platypus, North Sydney. The proposal involves the demolition of the multi-level, harbour facing portion and part of the High Street portion of the Torpedo Factory building in order to provide additional public space for community use and amenity as part of the greater adaption of the site. The aims and visions for Sub Base Platypus are outlined in the Management Plan: Platypus, North Sydney (2016) and the amended Draft Management Plan: Platypus, North Sydney (2020), which incorporates the current proposal. Sub Base Platypus, North Sydney (Platypus) is a former gas works (1877-1932), torpedo factory (1942-1999) and submarine base (1967-1999), that is now under the care and management of the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust (The Trust), a Commonwealth government agency. Today, Platypus functions in part as a waterfront public park with some commercial uses and onsite car parking. Platypus is not included on the Commonwealth Heritage List, however it has been identified as possessing potential Commonwealth Heritage values as per the (former) HMAS Platypus Conservation Management Plan 2008, prepared by Clive Lucas, Stapleton & Partners. Places that are owned or leased by the Commonwealth, as is the case with Platypus are still protected under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Sub Base Platypus is not listed on the State Heritage Register. Sub Base Platypus is listed as a heritage item in Schedule 5 of the North Sydney Local Environment Plan (LEP) 2013, as “Gasworks remains, HMAS Platypus”, 1 Kiara Close, North Sydney & 118-138 High Street, North Sydney, Item no. I0859. In December 2016 the Harbour Trust adopted a statutory Management Plan for the Platypus site, North Sydney and in 2020 the Harbour Trust prepared a draft amendment to the Management Plan 2016 (the Draft Management Plan 2020) to provide for the current proposal for the renewal of the Torpedo Factory. The overall aims of the Plan are to: Create a waterfront urban park; Protect, manage and interpret the site’s heritage values; Maximise public access to the site; Revive the site with a mix of new uses that are compatible with the site’s character and constraints; and Protect local environment and amenity. Some of the key aims within the Plan have already been implemented and the Commonwealth Government is providing a further $11.4 million in funding for the Harbour Trust towards the Sub Base Platypus Renewal Project. The purpose of this Heritage Impact Assessment is to identify the site’s heritage values, examine the relevant potential impacts of the proposed works in the context of the relevant planning framework, and identify appropriate measures to mitigate potential impacts.

My friend had arranged for us to visit FILOLI, an historic property nearby. I had no idea what I was about to see…. FILOLI is one of 27 sites owned by the US National Trust for Historic Preservation and is operated by the Filoli Centre. It is located 51 kms outside central San Francisco and is recognised as one of the finest remaining country estates of the early 20th century. FILOLI was built by Mr & Mrs William Bowers Bourn II, a wealthy San Francisco family who relocated to the peninsula after the 1906 earthquake. The Bourns owned the Empire Gold Mine, the largest hard-rock mining operation in California, as well as the Spring Valley Water Company and the Crystal Springs Reservoir. Cambridge-educated Mr Bourn selected the site and called it FILOLI by combing the first two letters from the key words of his credo: “ FIght for a just cause; LOve your fellow man; LIve a good life.” The Bourns engaged Willis Polk, a San Francisco architect to design their country estate. The house is predominantly modified- Georgian in style, containing over 5000 square metres of interior Filoli house from a walled orchard garden in late floor space with 56 rooms, including 10 family bedrooms, 16 winter/early spring bathrooms, 17 fireplaces, a ballroom and a servants’ wing.

Is the Minister aware that country and decentralized industries, particularly those in the engineering field, are having great difficulty in remaining viable owing to freight rates on steel? Does the Minister realize that the recent 7 per cent increase in freight rates means an increase of 14 per cent to those industries which have to cover both inwards and outwards freight? Will the Minister confer with the appropriate Minister in another place with the object of exempting or relieving decentralized industry from the recent increase? The Hon. D. P. LANDA: I am familiar with the fact that certain country and decentralized industries are having difficulties.

Assessor's Summary of Significance: Old Government House and the Government Domain (also known as the Governor’s Domain) at Parramatta Park are primary sites associated with the foundation of British colonial settlement and provide a tangible link to Australia's colonial development of 1788. Convicts built many of the structures in the place and were the labour force which operated the farming and other enterprises that occurred there. The house itself and the surrounding historic elements such as the bathhouse, carriageways and gatehouses, and the remains of Governor Brisbane’s observatory, all reflect the establishment of agricultural production, the administration of the colony, the administration of the convict system in Australia, the commencement of town planning, and the site of some of Australia’s earliest astronomical and botanical endeavours.

    t'tk Office of NSW-- Environment GOVERNMENT & Heritage ED18/314 018/11242 The Hon Paul Green MLC Committee Chair Portfolio Committee No 6 - Planning and Environment Parliament House Macquarie Street SYDNEY NSW 2000 By email: [email protected] Dear Mr Green Thank you for your letter about the inquiry into the music and arts economy in NSW. I appreciate the opportunity to provide a submission on behalf of the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). I attach a list of music and arts venues listed on the State Heritage Register (SHR) under the Heritage Act 1977. It includes cafes, restaurants, bars, gallery spaces and live music venues. This list is indicative only and is based on current use information recorded in the OEH's statutory heritage database, which does not always accurately reflect the various iterations and mixed uses of SHR items. The list shows venues listed on the SHR only. Venues operating out of heritage-listed premises protected under local environmental plans at the local government level are not included. OEH does not collect or hold data that would allow it to report on the number of music and arts venues that have been 'lost' over the past 20 years. The Basement operates from the modern commercial building at 7 Macquarie Place Sydney. This property is not listed on the SHR and therefore is not protected under the Heritage Act. I note the committee's interest in heritage listing or an equivalent statutory mechanism to protect iconic music venues in NSW, and specifically to prevent their closure.
