Some of the earliest public buildings constructed after the first European landing were gaols and barracks to house convicts. As the rest of the country opened up to European settlers, gaols were established in strategic country locations to consolidate government authority. Today, Corrective Services NSW owns and manages some of the most significant heritage properties in Australia. These properties not only serve the purposes of Corrective Services, but also act as a repository of important layers of Australian history that tell us much about ourselves as a people and as a nation. State government instrumentalities and corporations are major custodians of our heritage assets, and as such have responsibility for managing the State’s heritage. Corrective Services is one of over 80 NSW Government agencies which own or manage heritage assets, and these assets form a significant part of overall Government property holdings. In accordance with State Government policy, Corrective Services NSW has an important role in recognising and caring for its heritage assets on behalf of the community. The preparation of this Register shows a commitment from Corrective Services NSW towards sound management of its significant portfolio of heritage assets. The following Heritage & Conservation Register is part of a suite of documents which have been prepared to fulfill Corrective Services’ obligations to its heritage assets under the Heritage Act 1977 (NSW). 3 Department of Justice NSW HERITAGE & CONSERVATION REGISTER JUNE 2017 4 Department of Justice NSW HERITAGE & CONSERVATION REGISTER JUNE 2017 TABLE OF CONTENTS VOLUME 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND 1.1.1 Update of Draft Heritage & Conservation Register (S.170 Register) 1.2 ASSET MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS OF THE NSW HERITAGE ACT 1977 1.2.1 Heritage & Conservation Register (S.170 Register) 1.3 PRELIMINARY HERITAGE & CONSERVATION REGISTER 1.4 METHODOLOGY AND LIMITATIONS 1.5 ASSESSMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE 1.5.1 Assessment Criteria 1.5.2 Rankings of Significance 1.6 CURTILAGE ANALYSES 1.6.1 Emu Plains Correctional Centre 1.6.2 Kirkconnell Correctional Centre 1.6.3 St Helier’s Correctional Centre 1.7 DELETED ITEMS 1.8 FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS REGISTER 1.9 AUTHORSHIP 1.10 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 1.11 FUTURE ACTIONS 2.0 HERITAGE & CONSERVATION REGISTER: BATHURST CORRECTIONAL CENTRE BERRIMA CORRECTIONAL CENTRE BROKEN HILL CORRECTIONAL CENTRE COOMA CORRECTIONAL CENTRE 5 Department of Justice NSW HERITAGE & CONSERVATION REGISTER JUNE 2017 VOLUME 2 2.0 HERITAGE & CONSERVATION REGISTER CONTINUED E - L EMU PLAINS CORRECTIONAL CENTRE GOULBURN CORRECTIONAL CENTRE GRAFTON CORRECTIONAL CENTRE KIRKCONNELL CORRECTIONAL CENTRE LONG BAY CORRECTIONAL COMPLEX VOLUME 3 2.0 HERITAGE & CONSERVATION REGISTER CONTINUED M - Z MARY WADE CORRECTIONAL CENTRE SILVERWATER CORRECTIONAL COMPLEX SILVERWATER WOMEN’S CORRECTIONAL CENTRE ST.

This review involved: transferring all existing data onto State Heritage Inventory software; commissioning of a thematic history to provide a background structure for the Register; and the entry of additional data and images. The project also involved the collection of a bibliography of relevant documents to assist CSNSW with the heritage management of these properties. For several larger sites, the commission was extended to include a detailed investigation of an appropriate heritage curtilage for significant elements. Due to a number of complexities, the draft Heritage and Conservation Register was not submitted to the Heritage Council of NSW for ratification. In late 2011, GAO was commissioned by CSNSW to complete minor revisions to the register and facilitate adoption by CSNSW and ratification by the Heritage Council of NSW. 1.1.1 UPDATE OF DRAFT HERITAGE AND CONSERVATION REGISTER (S.170 REGISTER) In 2017, GML Heritage (GML), was commissioned by the Department of Justice (DJ), to prepare an updated Heritage and Conservation Register. DJ now incorporates Corrective Services NSW. Since 2012, a small number of properties have been divested from the Corrective Services portfolio, and additional properties have come under the DJ umbrella, including the former Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) assets. The former Department of Corrective Services procured a Heritage and Conservation Register as required under section 170 of the NSW Heritage Act 1977 (July 2009). The work was completed and submitted to the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) – Heritage Division in 2012. A number of minor comments were received from OEH mostly in relation to the level of heritage significance (local vs State) attributed to a number of sites. GML 9 Department of Justice NSW HERITAGE & CONSERVATION REGISTER JUNE 2017 conducted fieldwork and analysis for sixteen built heritage elements in five correctional facilities across NSW. These included: Berrima Correctional Centre • Arts and Crafts Store • Dangerous Goods Store • Farm Buildings • Officer Amenities Broken Hill Correctional Centre • Demolished Watchtower • Inmates Pergola (Old Gaol) • Showers Grafton Correctional Facility • A-Wing (or One Wing) • Perimeter Wall (Old Gaol) • Visiting Facilities Long Bay Correctional Centre (Outer Complex) • Camelot Building • Perimeter Fence • Vagg Building Silverwater Correctional Facility • Prisoners Children Cottage • Blaxland House • Caroline Chisolm House The primary objective of the 2017 update is to reconcile OEH comments on the draft heritage register and update and finalise existing data using the State Heritage Inventory software. This includes the update of divested properties such as Norma Parker Periodic Detention Centre and the inclusion of one DJJ asset, the Mary Wade Correctional Centre (formerly Juniperina Juvenile Justice Centre) in Lidcombe. 10 Department of Justice NSW HERITAGE & CONSERVATION REGISTER JUNE 2017 1.2 ASSET MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS OF THE NSW HERITAGE ACT 1977 Under the Heritage Act 1977 (the Act), Government agencies have specific obligations to manage their assets on behalf of the community. These obligations relate to appropriate identification, management and conservation of heritage assets under the ownership or control of the specific agency. 1.2.1 HERITAGE AND CONSERVATION REGISTER (S.170 REGISTER) Under Section 170 of the Act, all government instrumentalities are required to establish and maintain a Heritage and Conservation Register that details each item of environmental heritage that the agency owns or occupies. This register, referred to as the Section 170 Register, comprises individual inventory entries for each item or place that has been identified to be of heritage significance. Listings are usually undertaken on standard inventory forms and a heritage database developed by the NSW Heritage Branch. Listings generally include the following information: • history of the item or place; • physical description of the item or place; • assessment of heritage significance using NSW Assessment Criteria, and a summary Statement of Significance; and • other summary information such as condition and management issues. This S170 Register subsequently forms part of the State Heritage Inventory, an electronic, non-statutory database maintained by the NSW Heritage Branch Items of State significance are considered for listing on the State Heritage Register under the NSW Heritage Act 1977. The Heritage and Conservation Register must be kept available for public inspection at the head office of the agency and at the Heritage Council. Management

  • Fact Sheet — Parklands
    Fact Sheet — Parklands The parklands at Sydney Olympic Park provide 430 hectares of open space, recreation areas, wetlands and waterways for the people of Sydney located in the heart of the growing metropolitan Sydney. • One of Australia’s largest urban parklands, Sydney Olympic Park is a diverse and special place where protected remnant woodlands, rare saltmarshes, waterbird refuge and mangroves stand alongside places of heritage significance to create a unique parkland setting. • A lasting legacy of the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the parklands have been designed and built on land formerly used by government industries including the State Abattoirs, State Brickworks and Commonwealth Department of Defence, and are the result of remediating industrial land — an internationally recognised leading environmental remediation and urban renewal project. • Today, the parklands are playing an increasingly important role as both a local park and as a significant regional park destination as Sydney grows. The parklands are an association of many different parks and places brought together as a single entity for management purposes. • The suburb of Sydney Olympic Park covers an area of 640 hectares, of which 430 hectares are parklands. • There are now over 2.7 million visits to the parklands annually, representing 27.5 percent of Sydney Olympic Park total visitation. • The parklands include the leisure and play areas of Bicentennial Park, Wentworth Common and Blaxland Riverside Park; the sporting grounds at Wilson Park and Archery Park, and Monster and Mountain X facilities; the state heritage listed Newington Armory; the more natural areas of Newington Nature Reserve and Badu Mangroves; the Brickpit and 100 hectares of wetlands and waterways.

  • 7 the Sullivan Family
    77 TTHHEE SSUULLLLIIVVAANN FFAAMMIILLYY PATRICK SULLIVAN Patrick Sullivan was born in 1808 in the townland of Lisdeen, situated about two miles from Kilkee on the Kilrush to Kilkee Road in County Clare, Ireland. His parents were James Sullivan and Mary Kennedy. It is thought that Patrick was probably the eldest son. He had one brother, John, who died in 1827 aged 16, and four younger siblings. His father was a small farmer who died sometime before 1834. Patrick’s father James Sullivan, and Partners, were listed in the Tithe Applotment Books of 1828 as holding (leasing) two acres of first quality land in Lisdeen. Nearby, John Sullivan also leased land – both first and second quality, totalling over two acres. It appears that James and John Sullivan split their father’s land upon his death - just over four acres, creating yet smaller holdings and further diminishing the amount of land available to support these poor families. The Sullivans would have been tenant farmers paying rent to Protestant landlords, some of whom were absentee owners. Potatoes were the main crop grown and turf cutting was another form of employment which helped support the families and was used to provide fuel for the winter months. Men, women and children took part in turf cutting. Cattle Fair Day at Kilkee, County Clare, Ireland. Image courtesy County Clare Library The Sullivans had relatives named McInerney living in the Lisdeen area although it is not known whether they were connected to the Sullivan or Kennedy side of the family. Land records around 1827-1828 show a number of Sullivans, McInerneys and Kennedys living on rateable land in townlands in the Kilfearagh Parish.
