Land Use CHAPTER 10 Land Use CHAPTER 10 10 Land Use 10.1 Introduction This chapter outlines the current land use and ownership in and around the areas of construction and operation for the BGC Project. It provides a description of the land use patterns within the overall Project Area, and assesses the potential land use impacts of the project. 10.2 Overview The land use patterns in and around the Project Area are shown on Figure 10.1, summarised as: • industrial; • special uses; • commercial; • residential; and • natural/recreational areas. These land use patterns are described in the following sections, with detailed descriptions of the specific areas of the BIP and Southlands, and more general descriptions of the broader surrounding areas. 10.2.1 Botany Industrial Park (BIP) Industry was first established in the East Botany area in the early 1900s. The 1920s and 1930s saw the first establishment of major industries, and manufacturing began at the south end of what is now the BIP in 1942. The 1960s saw the introduction of larger manufacturing plants and the BIP became what is now known as a petrochemical complex. The BIP was subdivided in 1998−1999, and consists of a number of manufacturing plants operated variously by Orica Australia Pty Ltd, Huntsman Corporation Australia Pty Ltd, and Qenos Pty Ltd, as shown in Figure 2.2. In addition to the manufacturing operations, there are various services activities within the BIP, as well as areas that are currently unoccupied and/or unused, following the cessation and/or demolition of historical manufacturing plants.

It remains the property of URS Australia Pty Ltd. Land Use CHAPTER 10 10.2.2 Southlands Southlands (Block 1 and Block 2) is located just to the south-west of the BIP (refer to Figure 1.2). Although the site has never been developed, it has a long history of disturbance and use from a variety of activities, which have included: • commercial peat cutting and sand extraction; • dumping of bottom end furnace ash from coal-fired boilers, mainly from Bunnerong Power Station; • discharge of paper waste slurries and the storage of waste paper; • dumping of general refuse due to poorly controlled access in the past. The only structures on Southlands are associated with the newly installed infrastructure for groundwater remediation, including the groundwater extraction and monitoring wells, and the primary and secondary transfer pipelines. 10.2.3 Surrounding Land Uses As shown on Figure 10.1, the areas within and around the Project Area largely comprise industrial land uses such as chemical manufacturing and food manufacturing, with residential areas to the north, east and west, and various commercial areas, special uses and recreational areas scattered amongst them. Industrial The Botany area is one of Sydney’s major port and industrial regions, and a large part of the surrounding area is committed to industrial land uses. The area contains general industrial and mixed industrial zones, including light industrial, commercial and retail land uses. There are also airport and port related industrial zones, associated with Sydney Airport and Port Botany, described in more detail below. The industrial land uses can be identified within several industrial clusters: • Banksmeadow/Hillsdale/Matraville: The area surrounding the BIP incorporates industrial land uses such as chemical manufacturing, food manufacturing, container storage and port related facilities. Other than the BIP, current major industrial sites include Nuplex Industries, Pacific National, Kelloggs, Solvay Interox, Amcor Fibre Packaging and Nalco; • West Botany: This area adjoins Sydney Airport to the east and comprises a range of industrial land uses including container parks and motor vehicle repair shops; and • Botany/Mascot: This area comprises a variety of industrial land uses, including new industries generally compatible with residential and open space land uses, such as the Lakes Business Park located along the banks of the Mill Ponds at Lord Street. The Business Park tenants include small to large commercial and light industrial businesses, warehousing and distribution, textile manufacturing and food retailing supplies. Botany Groundwater Cleanup Project – Environmental Impact Statement 10-3 CHAPTER 10 Land Use Special Uses There are a number of areas zoned for special purpose land use in the vicinity of the BIP, including: • Sydney Airport: The airport is NSW’s major domestic and international airport, located about 2.5 km to the west of the BIP. As the major international gateway into Australia, Sydney Airport is Australia’s busiest passenger airport, as well as Australia's busiest cargo airport, handling 475,000 tonnes of air freight in 2004 (Southern Cross Airports Corporation Holdings Ltd, 2004); • Port Botany: This is Sydney’s primary port for the handling of containers and bulk liquids, located approximately 1 km to the south of the BIP. Port Botany includes two container terminals to the north (operated by Patrick Stevedores) and south (operated by P&O Ports) side of Brotherson Dock, a number of container parks (Smith Bros, Patrick Port Services and P&O Trans Australia), and a Bulk Liquids Berth from which bulk liquids (LPG, petroleum products, organic chemicals and caustic soda) are transferred to liquid storage facilities operated by other organisations. Sydney Ports Corporation has proposed an expansion of the Port Botany facility, which would consist of a new container terminal facility covering approximately 63 hectares. At the time of writing, this expansion project had not been approved; and • Botany Freight Rail Line: This is a dedicated freight rail line that operates from Port Botany and links into the metropolitan network, forming the western boundary of the BIP. There are also various easements for existing services: • Pipelines under Botany Bay connect the Caltex Oil Refinery at Kurnell with the Caltex terminals at Banksmeadow and Silverwater. • The Sydney to Newcastle fuel pipeline, which is a buried pipeline located on the southern side of the Foreshore Road reserve, connects the Caltex terminal at Banksmeadow with Newcastle. • The Sydney Airport jet fuel line is also a buried pipeline, which connects the Caltex terminal at Banksmeadow with Sydney Airport. The pipeline is generally located on the northern side of Foreshore Road, except for a short section near the Caltex terminal where it is located on the southern side of Foreshore Road. Commercial Commercial development in the area is primarily located in strip centres, local neighbourhood shopping centres and regional shopping centres. Strip centres are located along main roads such as Botany Road in Botany and Mascot. These centres tend to offer basic necessities such as butchers, bakeries, newsagents and fast food outlets. Local neighbourhood shopping centres include Eastlakes and Southpoint Shopping Centres and the regional shopping centre at Westfield Eastgardens (just to the north-west of the BIP).

  • MEU History Pre Pages
    132 UNITED: A HISTORY OF THE MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES UNION IN NSW 15 The Electricity Industry rom its earliest years the Union became involved in the electricity industry, enrolling F members employed in various classifications in the Electricity Department of the City Council, including workers at Pyrmont Power Station, but not embracing those employed as tradesmen.1 Issues over pay and conditions, seniority, and redundancies occurred regularly, particularly with fluctuations in the need for power supply. One early issue in 1915 was that time clocks were not opened until the precise time of ceasing work, which meant that employees could not have a bath before then, resulting in delays in leaving the premises and consequently missed transport connections. This was rectified by management agreeing to open time clocks five minutes before ceasing time.2 By 1924, the City Council had gradually extended its electricity supply area, retailing its power in thirty-four Sydney suburbs, and supplying electricity in bulk to another seven suburbs. However, to achieve this, the City Council had to purchase electricity from the Railway Commissioners. To meet increasing demands, the City Council then constructed the largest electricity generating power station in the Southern Hemisphere, seven miles (eleven kms.) from central Sydney, on the northern shore of Botany Bay. It was called Bunnerong (Aboriginal for Sleeping Lizard), the name of the area on which it was constructed. It was stated in 1928 that “it would stand as a monumental work of members of the Union, who were mainly employed on its construction, there being on site about one thousand employees”.3 Bunnerong Power Station Source: S.

During the quarter the Sydney metropolitan residential property value has jumped up to 30% in comparison to last year’s results. The low interest rate environment was one of the factors in pushing property value up. Residential Market 3 The low interest rates and a long running hot residential property market has seen many off-the-plan apartment sales sell out in record time. The high volume of sales Residential Development Supply 5 result may be a further incentive for developers to actively purchase and submit development approvals, and take advantage of the low interest rate. The Inner Sydney region, within 10 km proximity to the Sydney CBD, is set to become busier Market Observations 7 with many major developments flagged for construction during 2015. Residential development sites are popular to both local and foreign developers. The Economic Fundamentals 8 Inner Sydney sites were hotly contested for by both local and foreign developers whilst Middle and Outer Sydney sites (20km—30km to the Sydney CBD) were mostly acquired by local developers. Many of the recorded development sites in Inner and Middle Sydney were previously industrial sites.
