The members of the Heritage Advisory Committee sought nominations from members of the community groups they represented. Nominations were then
collated into a list.
The community based heritage study identified 74 potential heritage places. The list of potential places
was reviewed and each place visited to determine which places did not warrant an assessment of their heritage significance for any of the following reasons:
. dwellings which had been demolished and a new dwelling constructed;
. dwellings which had been substantially altered from their original form; . dwellings and churches which had little aesthetic significance; . buildings which have been, or approved to be, demolished; and . buildings which were already listed as heritage

Masonic Hall,186 Rowe Street, Eastwood
Council at the meeting on 20 February 2007, considered a report on the Draft Master Plan for Eastwood Town Centre. Council’s resolution on this item included the following recommendation.
That in response to feedback from the community, Council advise the owners of the Masonic Centre and all other property owners on that block, that Council would consider a development application for demolition of the Masonic Hall, subject to the provision of a clear public benefit such as the public hall space being incorporated into any future development.
In the 23 June 2009 the developer’s heritage consultants, Paul Davies Pty Ltd, advised that the Former Eastwood Masonic Temple was considered to:
. have diminished historical and social significance due to loss of its original use and historical association with the Masonic movement; . have diminished aesthetic significance due to the location within the Rowe Street streetscape lacking any historical context and also due to its now uncharacteristic setback within the Rowe Street streetscape; . be a modest representative but not rare or remarkable example of its type, and of minimal aesthetic significance in comparison with other Masonic Temples/Former Masonic Temples outlined in Table 4.1; and . be particularly difficult in terms of possible adaptive reuse due to its location within the centre of a high activity retail precinct.
On the 3 February 2009 Council consented to the demolition of the Masonic Hall (LDA 2007/936)

UPDATED INVENTORY SHEET: MAXIM STREET HERITAGE CONSERVATION AREA
MAXIM STREET HERITAGE CONSERVATION AREA
Description
The Maxim Street Heritage Conservation Area (HCA) is a residential area located immediately to the west of Main Northern Railway line and at the southern end of Maim Street. The HCA is located at the top of a slight hill and sits slightly above the surrounding residential area. Maxim Street goes up an over the hill and the HCA is comprised of a row of houses each side of the street facing towards each other. The HCA has a regular subdivision pattern with the lots on the western side of the street backing onto the railway corridor. The houses form a group of simple brick and tile single storey Californian bungalows of similar design and scale. The houses each have a distinctive high battened gable end to the street and a verandah. The houses sit in a garden setting and these gardens and mature trees make a significant contribution to the attractive streetscape. Within the group there are two earlier Federation style dwellings at numbers 22 and 24.
History
The land in which the Maxim Street HCA is located was first granted to William Kent in 1797. The area remained agricultural until it was subdivided for residential use as part of the Miriam Hill Estate in 1886. The impetus for subdivision was the opening of the railway in 1886. The southern part of Maxim Street was formed with the Meadowbank Township subdivision on the 6 October 1906.
The first houses were built at numbers 22 and 24 about 1910, and the remainder of the houses were built about 1920.
Statement of Significance
The Maxim Street HCA demonstrates an important historical phase of the areas development, the replacement of agricultural estates with speculative subdivision for residential suburbs after the opening of the railway line at the end of the 18th Century. The group of dwellings is representative of residential development in the earlier part of the twentieth century in West Ryde.
The HCA is reasonably intact and has aesthetic significance for the consistency of architectural style and attractive streetscape.

STONE BOUNDARY MARKERS WITHIN THE CITY OF RYDE
ALIGNMENT POST 2
This is brief description of stone boundary markers that have been located within the City of Ryde in 2009. Dr Peter Mitchell prepared the report for the Heritage Advisory Committee and assistance from members of the community who identified a number of stones is acknowledged.
Tabled at the HAC meeting on 26 August 2009.
STONE BOUNDARY MARKERS WITHIN THE CITY OF RYDE.
History and purpose.
Prior to 1836 there was little standard marking form of on official survey points. After that the letters PM (Permanent Mark) were often used and from 1852 the broad arrow was required.
Mile posts.
Governor Macquarie began the use of mileposts between 1814 and 1816. They were first installed on the main roads out of Sydney and distances were measured from the obelisk on the edge of Hyde Park at the end of Bathurst St. This datum was used from about 1818 but the datum was later shifted to the GPO so true distances on early mileposts differ from those on later ones by about 600m. A number of original mileposts remain around Sydney, although not always in situ. One example is located opposite 567A Great Western Highway, Pendle Hill, and is listed as being of low state significance by the RTA. The history of this stone is documented at: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=heritage.show&id=4300441
Mileposts were often secondarily used by the Department of Lands as survey points and a new Department of Main Roads standard in 1934 replaced the original system.
Milestones are larger stones, usually well dressed and they carry distance information carved into the surface. No certain examples are known in Ryde but two of the stones listed below may be half-mile posts (3 and 9).
Alignment posts.
Alignment posts first came into general use with the Survey Regulations of 1864 and 1872 when all town road surveys had to include them. They were described as wooden blocks, round or square, 2 feet (600mm) long and 6 inches (300mm) across that were placed on the kerb of the principal streets not less than 10 chains (67m) apart.
They served two purposes. Early ones marked the alignment of the road. Later they were also used to mark the building lines in new subdivisions. It was left to the municipal council as to how they were made and marked, although they were all supposed to have a broad arrow carved on the side facing the road. A typical post may stand 30cm above ground level and extend up to 100cm into the ground. Council was responsible for providing the posts and surveyors were responsible for putting them in place. In practice wooden posts or wrought stones were commonly used and their original locations are marked as black squares on survey plans.
In Ryde quartz sandstone is the material used for both alignment posts and kerb stones and presumably they all came from local quarries. In the city most of the remaining kerbstones are of Bowral ‘trachyte’ (actually a micro- syenite from Mt Gibraltar) and there are known examples where this rock was used for alignment posts.
By 1914 alignment posts were rarely placed as concrete blocks with survey pins or cast iron castings became the standard. By 1963 alignment posts were no longer mentioned in the Regulations.
Within the City of Ryde nine posts have been located in situ and the former location of two others is known (see Table and Figures). In the early 20th century there must have been several hundred, as every subdivision had at least eight and the main roads had them at 67m intervals. Road widening, and installation of concrete kerbing has removed almost all and the nine that are left have survived by chance.
Other known examples in Sydney.
One alignment post has been preserved by the RTA in a museum at 99 Phillip Street, Parramatta and is listed as being of State Significance. This stone was one of more than 350 placed along Old Windsor Rd between Parramatta and Windsor in about 1830. The history of this stone is documented at: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=heritage.show&id=4300731
Another is known in situ on the corner of Randolph and Clyde Streets, Granville. It is not known whether it has been listed in Parramatta’s LEP Heritage Schedule.
An example of a cast iron alignment pin dating from about 1882 has been listed by the RTA in the Botany area as being of local significance and is documented at: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=heritage.show&id=4309671
Heritage status.
All of these stones or pins are legal survey marks and are protected under the Surveying Act 2002. However they are of low accuracy, probably rarely used, and may not even be registered as survey points.

ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES
Extract from Assessing Heritage Significance guideline (updated 2001), from the NSW Heritage Manual prepared by the NSW Heritage Branch, Department of Planning.
NSW HERITAGE ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
An item will be considered to be of State (or local) heritage significance if, in the opinion of the Heritage Council of NSW, it meets one or more of the following criteria. While all criteria should be referred to during the assessment, only particularly complex items or places will be significant under all criteria. In many cases, items of environmental heritage will be significant under only one or two criteria. In using these criteria it is important to assess the values first, then the context in which they are significant. Decide the appropriate context by considering similar items of local and State significance in each of these contexts.
These criteria were gazetted following amendments to the Heritage Act which came into force in April 1999. The Heritage Council determines the criteria for State significance and issues guidelines to assist in their application
Criterion (a)
An item is important in the course, or pattern, of NSW’s cultural or natural history (State significance);
OR
An item is important in the course, or pattern, of the local area’s cultural or natural history (local significance).
Guidelines for INCLUSION
. shows evidence of a significant human activity . is associated with a significant activity or historical phase . maintains or shows the continuity of a historical process or activity
Guidelines for EXCLUSION
. has incidental or unsubstantiated connections with historically important activities or processes . provides evidence of activities or processes that are of dubious historical importance . has been so altered that it can no longer provide evidence of a particular association
Types of items which meet criterion (a) include:
. items which demonstrate strong associations to past customs, cultural practices, philosophies or systems of government, regardless of the intactness of the item or any structure on the place; . items associated with significant historical events, regardless of the intactness of the item or any structure on the place; . significant cultural landscapes and other items demonstrating overlays of the continual pattern of human use and occupation; and/or . items where the physical fabric (above or below ground) demonstrates any of the points described above.
The inclusion guidelines are pointers to assist in making an assessment against this criterion, but should not constrict the consideration. Similarly, the attributes described in the exclusion guidelines can be used to check if the fabric of the item or place meets the criterion, or to check a judgment that an item does not meet this criterion.
The level of heritage significance at State or local levels can only be determined by comparison with other like items. The attributes described for criteria (f) and (g) can assist in the determination of significance. A heritage item is not to be excluded on the ground that items with similar characteristics have already been entered on a statutory list.
7.2 Criterion (b)
An item has strong or special association with the life or works of a person, or group of persons, of importance in NSW’s cultural or natural history (State significance);
OR
An item has strong or special association with the life or works of a person, or group of persons, of importance in the cultural or natural history of the local area (local significance).
Guidelines for INCLUSION
. shows evidence of a significant human occupation . is associated with a significant event, person, or group of persons
Guidelines for EXCLUSION
. has incidental or unsubstantiated connections with historically important people or events . provides evidence of people or events that are of dubious historical importance . has been so altered that it can no longer provide evidence of a particular association
Types of items which meet this criterion include:
. items which demonstrate strong associations to a particular event, historical theme, people or philosophies, regardless of the intactness of the item or any of its structures; . items associated with significant historical events, regardless of the intactness of the item or any structure on the place; and/or . items where the physical fabric (above or below ground) demonstrates any of the points described above.
The inclusion guidelines are pointers to assist in making an assessment against this criterion, but should not constrict the consideration. Similarly, the attributes described in the exclusion guidelines can be used to check if the fabric of the item or place meets the criterion, or to check a judgment that an item does not meet this criterion.
For example, a place may be considered significant because an important historical figure was said to have lived there. However, further research may reveal insufficient evidence of that fact, or that the period of habitation was too brief to be relevant to the life and work of the historical figure.
The level of heritage significance at State or local levels can only be determined by comparison with other like items. The attributes described for criteria (f) and (g) can assist in the determination of significance. A heritage item is not to be excluded on the ground that items with similar characteristics have already been entered on a statutory list.
7.3 Criterion (c)
An item is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in NSW (State significance);
OR
An item is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in the local area (local significance).
Guidelines for INCLUSION
. shows or is associated with, creative or technical innovation or achievement . is the inspiration for a creative or technical innovation or achievement . is aesthetically distinctive . has landmark qualities . exemplifies a particular taste, style or technology
Guidelines for EXCLUSION
. is not a major work by an important designer or artist . has lost its design or technical integrity . its positive visual or sensory appeal or landmark and scenic qualities have been more than temporarily degraded . has only a loose association with a creative or technical achievement
Types of items which meet this criterion include:
. items which demonstrate creative or technical excellence, innovation or achievement; . items which have been the inspiration for creative or technical achievement; . items which demonstrate distinctive aesthetic attributes in form or composition; . items which demonstrate a highly original and influential style, such as an important early (seminal) work of a major architect; and/or . items which demonstrate the culmination of a particular architectural style (known as climactic).
The inclusion guidelines are pointers to assist in making an assessment against this criterion, but should not constrict the consideration. Similarly, the attributes described in the exclusion guidelines can be used to check if the fabric of the item or place meets the criterion, or to check a judgment that an item does not meet this criterion.
An item may be considered significant under this criterion if it is a major landmark in a town, or it is the first major work in a particular architectural style. It will not be significant if its landmark qualities have been diminished by surrounding development, or it is only one of many examples of the architectural style.
The level of heritage significance at State or local levels can only be determined by comparison with other like items. The attributes described for criteria (f) and (g) can assist in the determination of significance. A heritage item is not to be excluded on the ground that items with similar characteristics have already been entered on a statutory list.
7.4 Criterion (d)
An item has strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in NSW for social, cultural or spiritual reasons (State significance);
OR
An item has strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in the area for social, cultural or spiritual reasons (local significance).
Guidelines for INCLUSION
. is important for its associations with an identifiable group . is important to a community’s sense of place
Guidelines for EXCLUSION
. is only important to the community for amenity reasons . is retained only in preference to a proposed alternative
Types of items which meet this criterion include:
. items which are esteemed by the community for their cultural values; . items which if damaged or destroyed would cause the community a sense of loss; and/or . items which contribute to a community’s sense of identity.
Items are excluded if:
. they are valued only for their amenity (service convenience); and/or . the community seeks their retention only in preference to a proposed alternative.
The inclusion guidelines are pointers to assist in making an assessment against this criterion, but should not constrict the consideration. Similarly, the attributes described in the exclusion guidelines can be used to check if the fabric of the item or place meets the criterion, or to check a judgment that an item does not meet this criterion.
Note the use of the adjective ‘particular’ in this criterion. An item does not need to be known to or valued by the whole community in a town or geographical area to be significant.
The ‘particular’ community may be defined by such things as a common ethnic background or religious belief or profession.
Care must be taken not to confuse heritage significance with amenity or utility. For example, a community may seek the retention of an older building in preference to its replacement with a more intensive development of a site. In such cases, there must be evidence that the item is separately valued in accordance with this criterion or one of the other criteria to have any validity as a significant heritage item.
The level of heritage significance at State or local levels can only be determined by comparison with other like items. The attributes described for criteria (f) and (g) can assist in the determination of significance. A heritage item is not to be excluded on the ground that items with similar characteristics have already been entered on a statutory list.
7.5 Criterion (e)
An item has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of NSW’s cultural or natural history (State significance);
OR
An item has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the area’s cultural or natural history (local significance).
Guidelines for INCLUSION
. has the potential to yield new or further substantial scientific and/or archaeological information . is an important benchmark or reference site or type . provides evidence of past human cultures that is unavailable elsewhere
Guidelines for EXCLUSION
. the knowledge gained would be irrelevant to research on science, human history or culture . has little archaeological or research potential . only contains information that is readily available from other resources or archaeological sites
The inclusion guidelines are pointers to assist in making an assessment against this criterion, but should not constrict the consideration. Similarly, the attributes described in the exclusion guidelines can be used to check if the fabric of the item or place meets the criterion, or to check a judgment that an item does not meet this criterion.
In addition to a detailed examination of surviving physical fabric, documents, oral history and other sources of evidence can often assist the assessment of whether a site has the ability to reveal valuable archaeological, technical, or scientific information.
For example, it may become apparent that the buried footings of a colonial house have little integrity if there is historical evidence that the site has been so disturbed that there will be no additional archaeological deposits associated with the use of the house.
The level of heritage significance at State or local levels can only be determined by comparison with other like items. The attributes described for criteria (f) and (g) can assist in the determination of significance. A heritage item is not to be excluded on the ground that items with similar characteristics have already been entered on a statutory list.
7.6 Criterion (f)
An item possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of NSW’s cultural or natural history (State significance);
OR
An item possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the area’s cultural or natural history (local significance).
Guidelines for INCLUSION
. provides evidence of a defunct custom, way of life or process . demonstrates a process, custom or other human activity that is in danger of being lost . shows unusually accurate evidence of a significant human activity . is the only example of its type . demonstrates designs or techniques of exceptional interest . shows rare evidence of a significant human activity important to a community
Guidelines for EXCLUSION
. is not rare . is numerous but under threat
The inclusion guidelines are pointers to assist in making an assessment against this criterion, but should not constrict the consideration. Similarly, the attributes described in the exclusion guidelines can be used to check if the fabric of the item or place meets the criterion, or to check a judgment that an item does not meet this criterion.
For example, a park in a country town may be said to be a rare example of Victorian public garden design, but further research may reveal that it is a representative example, as there are many such parks in country towns in NSW. If it is one of the few remaining examples of an important 19th century garden designer, or contains species not found in similar gardens elsewhere, it may qualify as rare in the NSW context. Assuming it is the only garden of its type in the local area, it is likely it would also be rare in the local context.
The level of heritage significance at State or local levels can only be determined by comparison with other like items or by proving that there is no documentation on similar items. This helps in determining the heritage significance of an item
7.7 Criterion (g)
An item is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of NSW’s
cultural or natural places; or cultural or natural environments
(State significance);
OR
An item is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of the area’s
cultural or natural places; or cultural or natural environments (local significance).
Guidelines for INCLUSION
. is a fine example of its type . has the principal characteristics of an important class or group of items . has attributes typical of a particular way of life, philosophy, custom, significant process, design, technique or activity . is a significant variation to a class of items . is part of a group which collectively illustrates a representative type . is outstanding because of its setting, condition or size . is outstanding because of its integrity or the esteem in which it is held
Guidelines for EXCLUSION
. is a poor example of its type . does not include or has lost the range of characteristics of a type . does not represent well the characteristics that make up a significant variation of a type
The inclusion guidelines are pointers to assist in making an assessment against this criterion, but should not restrict the consideration. A fine representative example needs to demonstrate key characteristics of its type or class. The intactness of the physical fabric of an item (its integrity) is another attribute that can be used to qualify the rare or representative criteria – see Section 6 of these guidelines. The attributes described in the exclusion guidelines can be used to check if the item or place meets the criterion or to check a judgment that an item does not meet this criterion.
For example, a group of Victorian cottages in a place with many examples of 19th century architecture, such as Bathurst or the inner suburbs of Sydney, may have representative value. In another city or suburb in which most of the 19th century architecture has been replaced they may be assessed as rare.
The level of heritage significance at State or local levels can only be determined by comparison with other like items. The attributes described for criteria (f) and (g) will assist in the determination of significance. A heritage item is not to be excluded on the ground that items with similar characteristics have already been entered on a statutory list.

Appendix H DECWW ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE GUIDELINES
This page is intentionally left blank
DECCW ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE GUIDELINES.
Extract from The Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECCW) General Guidelines for Strategic Planning – Metropolitan Sydney (Updated July 2008).
3. ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE
3.1 Assessment Guidelines
The Metropolitan area is known to have a rich and diverse Aboriginal history. Areas of significance to. Aboriginal people can generally be expected to occur across the region. This includes both traditional and contemporary associations of Aboriginal people with the environment as well as physical sites (ie that contain archaeological evidence).
The DECC has a statutory responsibility for the identification, management and conservation of Aboriginal heritage under the NPW Act. The DECC also has a strong commitment to working in partnership with Aboriginal people to manage and conserve Aboriginal cultural heritage Climate change is likely to have an impact on Aboriginal cultural heritage.
Aboriginal heritage issues should be addressed up front and at the earliest possible stage of the planning process. The DECC recommends the completion of two basic types of Aboriginal cultural heritage assessment to inform the preparation of draft EPIs:
. an archaeological assessment - this involves the identification and assessment of Aboriginal objects (often referred to as "sites") and their management based on archaeological criteria; and . a cultural heritage assessment - this involves consultation with Aboriginal stakeholders (groups and individuals) and can include historical and oral history assessment and broader values assessment (eg. landscape and spiritual values).
The outcomes of the archaeological and consultation components of the Aboriginal heritage assessment should be compiled into a single mapping of high, moderate or low Aboriginal cultural value1. Options for conserving areas of Aboriginal heritage significance within EPIs and other strategic planning tools should be fully explored in discussion with the Aboriginal community.
In the Metropolitan area the most comprehensive and current best practice approach to undertaking Aboriginal cultural heritage assessments is provided in the Consultation Protocol and Precinct Assessment Method that has been adopted for the Western Sydney Growth Centres. These documents can be provided by DECC on request.
1 Previous assessments that have incorporated this methodology include: Jo MacDonald Cultural Heritage Management (2002) Archaeological Assessment of Aboriginal Sites: Eastern Creek Strategic Landuse Study, SEPP59 Lands in Blacktown Council, NSW, Jo MacDonald Cultural Heritage Management Pty Ltd, 2002.
The DECC strongly recommends that planning authorities incorporate an assessment and consideration of Aboriginal heritage values during preparation of draft EPIs. This provides the best opportunity to identify and develop options for protection. It also provides a much more productive forum to engage with Aboriginal stakeholders and to provide them with meaningful input to the decision-making process.
While there will still be a need to assess Aboriginal heritage impacts at the development application stage, and to include the Aboriginal stakeholders in that process, decisions at this level will be far more robust if they can be informed by a higher strategic level of assessment There will also be more scope to contemplate streamlining the assessment and approvals process at the DA stage if comprehensive strategic assessments have been undertaken and conservation outcomes achieved through the land use plan.
DECC is currently considering policy and legal avenues to accommodate more area-based consents for Aboriginal heritage where appropriate.
INFORMATION SOURCES
There have been many site-specific (and some LGA-wide) Aboriginal cultural heritage studies undertaken in the Metropolitan area. However, there has been no comprehensive assessment or regional study of Aboriginal heritage.
In most cases, assessments will therefore need to be undertaken as recommended above. Information on known sites (ie. areas that have been surveyed) and existing assessment reports is held by the DECC's Aboriginal Heritage Information System (AHIMS). For further information on AH I MS go to http://www.nationalparks.nsw.ciov.au/npws.nsf/ContentIAborigina+Heritace+Information+Manaqement+System.
The following reference may also be useful:
• Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Regional Studies: an illustrative approach (David Guilfoyle, DEC, 2006)
3.2 Recommended Planning Outcomes
The DECC recommends that areas of Aboriginal cultural value be afforded similar protection under a planning instrument to areas of biodiversity value That is, for areas of identified Aboriginal cultural heritage value the following options should be considered:
. application of the Environment Conservation E2 zone (first preference), or theE3 or E4 zones, with permitted uses limited to those that are consistent with the protection of the conservation values present within the zone; . the use of overlays to identify areas of sensitivity (however, information should not be . included in EPIs that would identify the precise locations of known Aboriginal sites. This is necessary to avoid possible vandalism or damage); . inclusion of development controls and heads of consideration; and . the provision of more detailed controls in DCPs.
