(only the lower 60% had issues), reducing the scope of works to just re-patching the bottom seems rather minimalist and less than appears necessary. It now seems the bottom works have gone from one extreme to the other. I have asked again for a copy of the report and for a meeting at the pool, when it is is drained for cleaning, to go through and minute an agreed scope of works. So we will see what happens. Relief Manly Ferry Lady Northcott to be retired On the 25th August 1974 a serious fire on the Manly Ferry (Steam Ship) South Steyne lead to the State Government modifying the design of two inner harbour ferries then under construction by Carrington Slipways at Tomago. The modifications included raising the height of the bows at The M.V. Lady Northcott at Manly moored at the Jetcat each end and adding openings in the upper deck, to allow Wharf on Thursday 26th July 2012. Lady Northcott was use of passenger gangways to both the main and reportedly relieving the larger M.V. Collaroy. The irony was promenade decks. M.V.

While changing the whole bottom to a new concrete slab In September 2015 the State Government ordered 6 new was probably overkill as regards the works actually required harbour catamaran ferries from Incat in Tasmania for $52 million. The 6 vessels are to replace existing vessels rather than expand the State owned ferry fleet. (Expansion would put an end to the current costly charter of private ferries for Sydney Ferries services.) The six vessels planned to be withdrawn are the two remaining Lady class ferries - Lady Northcott and Lady Herron - and the four Supercat vessels (which reportedly have just been re-engined). The major issue is that the Lady Northcott (815) and Lady Herron (514) have much higher passenger carrying capacity than the new Heritage class catamaran vessels (400). The Lady class are currently mainly used for the Circular Quay to Taronga Zoo run, which has very high passenger loadings.

It should be noted the decisions on the vessel Lady Northcott early views withdrawals are being made by Transport for NSW, not the contracted operator (franchisee) Harbour City Ferries. The potential concern for Manly Ferry passengers is firstly the withdrawal of the Lady Northcott means the loss of a swell-capable relief Manly Ferry, and secondly the withdrawal of the two Lady class vessels leaves the M.V. Freshwater as the oldest vessel in the Sydney Ferries fleet. Harbour City Ferry sources report all four large Manly Ferries are currently in good condition and there are no plans to replace them. However they are costly to maintain (about $1 million per year each). Thus our Manly community will need to remain vigilant to Above: M.V.

Bottom: Lady Northcott at Circular Quay Wharf 3 in February 1991 (Geoff Eastwood) Little Manly Reserve Since the Cumberland plan of 1948, the land behind Little Manly Beach has been marked as a reserve. Inconveniently much of this land was built on between the 1870s and the 1930s. However since the 1960s Manly Council has been steadily purchasing all the blocks behind the beach - between 32 - 42 Stuart Street. The acquisition pace is not fast and the sites have been acquired in an average rate one every 20 - 25 years. Currently there are only buildings remaining on three blocks - number 34, number 38 and number 40. Number 34 is leased but is heritage listed and eventually will be the only building to remain. Number 40 is being leased to pay out its loan faster, with the medium term plan to demolish it and add this land to the park. Council currently owns all blocks excepting number 40. Due to the redevelopment of number 40 into a new dwelling, it is accepted this property will not be acquired by Council anytime soon. However ultimately this block will effectively divide the park. The administrator has had numerous meetings with members of the community group behind the park. At the Council meeting held at Manly last Tuesday evening the Administrator moved a minute to build a linking timber walkway past number 40 and to put the buildings at number 34 and 40 to better use.

Over the coming weeks and months we will be increasing our fundraising activities and looking at ways to vastly ramp up our ability to earn money.

The small amounts we gain through private donations and sale of items is enough for the day to day running of the association, but we need some serious money if we are to achieve our goal of getting Baragoola slipped and the hull repaired (or areas replaced as needed) if we are to keep this important heritage item going as a viable entity for many years to come.

  • Free-Trade Ferries: a Case for Competition Alexander Philipatos
    Free-Trade Ferries: A Case for Competition Alexander Philipatos EXECUTIVE SUMMARY No. 127 • 27 October 2011 Sydney needs a network of ferries that is able to cater to the city’s changing demographics but is also financially sustainable and responsible. The current state-controlled model has proved inefficient, backward looking, and costly to taxpayers. Sydney Ferries made more passenger trips in 2000–01 than in 2009–10, and has reported persistent deficits for the past six years despite subsidies accounting for over 50% of revenue. A number of accidents in early 2007 prompted a Special Commission of Inquiry (the Walker inquiry) into Sydney Ferries. The inquiry revealed a host of problems and brought them to the forefront of the political debate. Four years later, there is agreement on both sides of politics that the ferry system needs reform. The NSW Coalition government’s franchise reform, with similarities to Brisbane’s model, is a public-private partnership that attempts to address some of the problems outlined in the Walker inquiry. However, the problems discussed in the inquiry are actually symptoms of deeper structural problems. Monopoly and regulation are the root causes of the ferries’ woes and have led to labour, managerial and financial problems. Since the franchise plans do not address the underlying causes, the reforms will not generate lasting progress. Instead, problems will persist because a franchise monopoly is in effect a halfway solution—an attempt to involve the private sector but not allowing the forces of competition to operate. Government control of fares and route structure will continue to increase costs and stifle innovation.

My own research on the Carment and Inglis families’ histories represents one such journey that began about half a century ago. As a boy in Sydney, I was curious about my mainly Scottish ancestry and asked my parents and other relations about it. Although I was Australian-born and never travelled outside Australia until I was an adult, Scottish associations and influences were prominent during my childhood. My Carment and Inglis grandmothers were born in Scotland, while my Carment grandfather received his university education and worked there. Scotland was often mentioned in family conversations.

    Attachment B Eora Journey – Harbour Walk Historical Research Historical Research Materials Eora Journey – Harbour Walk March 2019 This collection of historical writings was produced by Dr Paul Irish of Coast History and Heritage for the Harbour Walk project between December 2018 and March 2019. The items were researched to address specific questions from the project curator, or to provide context and broad themes, and did not involve exhaustive research on any topic. Research was archival only, and did not include consultation with Aboriginal people who may hold knowledge about particular places or subjects. Many of the items included have recommendations about further potential sources of information. If specific projects are developed to implement the Harbour Walk, these and other sources are likely to provide further details that may be useful. A copy of these writings will also be deposited in the City of Sydney Archives, so that it can be accessed by future researchers.
