    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.

Ltd. Architects 49 Clarence Street, SYDNEY, N.S.W. 2000. Telephone: (02) 297281 July, 1984 SUMMARY The Wood ford Academy is by far the oldest building group on the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. Since 1978 it has been owned by the National Trust of Australia (NSW) which has carried out some essential maintenance and adaptation work. This report analyses the documentary and physical evidence of the place and formulates a statement of significance. From this and other considerations a conservation policy is proposed. This, in brief, suggests how development and uses of the property should be guided and what immediate work should be carried out irrespective of considerations of future use. The main points of this report can be understood by reading the following sections.

  • A. Windsor Heritage Walk – Thompson Square Precinct
    A. WINDSOR HERITAGE WALK – THOMPSON SQUARE PRECINCT 500m walk 30 minutes Map nos. 1 – 10 It is suggested you start exploring Windsor at Thompson Square. This walk features many fine examples of nineteenth and early twentieth century buildings. The square was named by Governor Lachlan Macquarie in honour of his friend Andrew Thompson and was originally the centre of the village known as Green Hills which was proclaimed the town of Windsor by Governor Macquarie in December 1810. Please note that this brochure includes many privately owned buildings which are not open for public inspection and may be viewed from the public street only. 1. Thompson Square The square, which originated in 1795, was named after Andrew Thompson who arrived in the colony as a convict aboard the Pitt in 1792. Despite his felonious associations, Thompson was appointed constable at Green Hills by Governor John Hunter in 1796 and became a highly respected land owner and prosperous businessman operating a store on the square from 1799. Thompson died in October 1810 aged just 37 years and was buried in St Matthews Church of England Cemetery. His epitaph penned by Governor Lachlan Macquarie commemorated the untimely death of a ‘most useful and valuable man’. A refurbishment of the square was completed to celebrate the bicentenary of the European settlement at Sydney Cove in 1988. The memorial includes an anchor, symbolising the river trade between the productive farmlands of the Hawkesbury and Sydney on which the colony relied during the early days of the settlement. The plaque records the names of many of the early European families who settled in the Hawkesbury district from 1794.

  • Blue Mountains
    © Lonely Planet Publications 106 www.lonelyplanet.com 107 Around Sydney Sydney’s suburbs spread over a broad coastal plain like spilt honey, hemmed in by rugged country on three sides and the Pacific Ocean on the other. The area sustains Australia’s larg- est concentration of people, the urban melange thinning as the kilometres stretch inland. AROUND SYDNEY Beyond the city, bushwalking tracks, cycling paths, scenic train routes and roads connect a small-town smorgasbord, interspersed with gorgeous waterways, uncrowded beaches and magical national parks. The proximity of these delights to Sydney means that public transport is often a viable option – you can cover a lot of ground on day trips, with or without your own wheels. To the west, the wooded foothills of the Great Dividing Range rise to the lofty Blue Mountains, with their heaven-sent scenery and quirky villages. To the south, Royal National Park harbours lost-to-the-world beaches, rainforest pockets and precipitous cliff-scapes. Inland, fertile soils support the rural settlements of Macarthur Country and historic Macquarie towns, extending south to the dignified Southern Highlands. Occupying a hefty chunk of Sydney’s north, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park’s dense bush- land and sandstone outcrops are cut by shimmering inlets. Further north, the landscape is defined by the meandering brown snake of the Hawkesbury River, with its ferry crossings, oyster farms and sleepy towns. Beyond here are the inland lakes and surf-centric communi- ties of the Central Coast. HIGHLIGHTS Hole up

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.
