6.1 INTRODUCTION

6.1.1 INTRODUCTION

A heritage study investigates the history of a local government area, identifies, and then assesses, items and places of heritage significance that demonstrate this history. The study explains why the items are significant and recommends ways to manage and conserve this significance.

A heritage study contains:

a history of the area using the NSW historic themes;

research and field work that describe the identified heritage items and a condition survey for each heritage item identified during the study;

summary inventory sheets for each heritage item, including a heritage assessment and statement of significance;

study-wide and specific heritage item management and promotional recommendations.

A heritage study provides information to support:

the community’s sense of identity – including its beginnings, the present and its potential;

future management of heritage items; education programs to raise awareness about

the community’s heritage assets, for better understanding and appreciation;

community engagement and sense of ownership of its heritage assets;

heritage tourism strategies that can generate business in the local area, and target a range of special heritage places that council can support and promote to visitors;

Council’s cultural plan.

Heritage is one of the components that enables communities to retain their physical links with the past, to develop and maintain community pride and well-being.

6.1.2 STUDY PURPOSE

The purpose of the Heritage Study is:

to assess places proposed as potential heritage items to determine their heritage significance;

to undertake a targeted review of the heritage listings of the consolidated LEP (LEP2008);

to inform consultation with the community about potential listings.

to inform the comprehensive Local Environmental Plan (LEP2011) with regard to listing of heritage significant properties;

to review and respond to the directions and actions of the Metropolitan Strategy and Draft Inner North Subregional Strategy;

The Heritage Study is a key component of the Local Study which will inform the comprehensive LEP that is to be completed by 2011.

6.1.3 STUDY AREA

The study area is the whole of the City of Ryde Local Government Area. The places investigated are:

those nominated through the community based heritage study;

church buildings; and stone markers.

6.1.4 BACKGROUND

A comprehensive heritage study of the City of Ryde, Ryde Heritage Study was undertaken in 1988 by Jonathon Falk Planning Consultants Pty Ltd in association with Rodney Jensen and Associates. This Study included a thematic history and recommended a number of places which had sufficient significance to be considered heritage items.

The Ryde Heritage Study was reviewed by Jennifer Hill and Associates in conjunction with Council’s Heritage Advisory Committee in 2000 in order to determine which places should be recommended to Council for listing as heritage items or heritage conservation areas in Ryde Planning Scheme Ordinance.

In 2003 Ryde Planning Scheme Ordinance (RPSO) was amended to include:

heritage clauses; a list of objects and places which have either

local, National and State and/or Aboriginal significance (listed in Schedule 15);

a list of conservation areas (Schedule 16); and a map identifying the location of heritage items

and heritage conservation areas.

As a result of a Council resolution on 3 June 2003, LEP2008 added a new item, no. 95 Bowden Street.

The consolidated LEP (LEP 2008) transferred the existing heritage listings from RPSO into the heritage schedules of the Plan. As a result of submissions on the Draft LEP Council resolved on 5 May 2009 that:

8 Arthur Street be removed as a heritage item, and

39 Delhi Road and 3 Julius Avenue be removed as heritage items.

A community based heritage study was commenced with Council’s Heritage Advisory Committee in 2003.

6.1.5 HISTORICAL CONTEXT

The original inhabitants of the Ryde area were the Wallumedegal people. European settlement dates from 1792 when the first land grants were made along the northern bank of the Parramatta River.

Ryde remained largely agricultural until the 20th Century when its character changed from a largely dispersed rural settlement to an area with more closely settled residential localities. The suburbanisation of Ryde followed the expansion and upgrading of transport infrastructure such as railways, trams, bridges and roads; and the subsequent industrialisation of certain areas and the subdivision of rural allotments.

In 1901 the Municipality of Ryde had 3,222 residents; a decade later in 1911 the population had almost doubled to 6,281. During the period 1901 to 1921 the number of dwellings had increased from 636 to 5,985; 1933 saw 27,861 people in 6,465 homes; and in 1945 there were approximately 35,000 people in 8,500 residences.

Suburban growth in Ryde after the Second World War was rapid but was not managed by planning measures other than through the proclamation of “Residential Areas” which were localities supposedly (though not consistently) reserved solely for homes. In Ryde, the proclamation of Residential Areas arose as a result of residents objecting to noisy and smelly industries being built near where they lived.

Land use planning as currently understood was introduced by New South Wales’ first statutory plan, the County of Cumberland Planning Scheme, which was gazetted in 1951. The scheme was a comprehensive and coordinated town plan for metropolitan Sydney, the purpose of which was to guide and control growth. The Scheme introduced land use zoning, suburban employment zones, open space acquisitions, and the idea of a 'green belt' for greater Sydney. Different land uses were separated into different areas. These land uses included: living areas, restricted living areas, industrial areas, business centre, special use, open space and green belt.


6-7

Heritage

In 1965, the Cumberland County Council Plan was discarded, with the result that thousands of hectares of farmland were 'released' for housing, incrementally whittling away the green belt to accommodate ongoing population increases due to immigration and the post war 'baby boom'.

6.1.6 CURRENT SITUATION

The City of Ryde currently has a range of heritage items and heritage conservation areas listed in the heritage schedule of LEP2008. These places demonstrate the historical development of the City of Ryde and contribute to its character.

6.1.7 PLANNING CONTEXT

METROPOLITAN STRATEGY AND DRAFT INNER NORTH SUBREGIONAL STRATEGY

The Metropolitan Strategy and Draft Inner North Subregional Strategy (Draft INSS) include directions and actions which seek to protect and enhance heritage assets. The Draft INSS states:

The cultural heritage of the Ryde municipality includes some important nineteenth century historic buildings such as Addington, Willandra and Brush Farm House and also industrial heritage along the Parramatta River. The area also contains distinctive post Second World War examples of residential, commercial and industrial development.

sures on cultural heritage in the subregion include increasing land values and resulting development pressure……..A key challenge is to balance the need to accommodate increasing development pressure with the need to conserve places and streetscapes of

heritage value that contribute to the character of the subregion.

The Metropolitan Strategy and Draft Inner North Subregional Strategy also set out a series of Directions and Actions relating to heritage, including:

E2.4 Protect Aboriginal cultural heritage

IN E2.4.1 When preparing Principal LEPs, councils should consider a review and assessment of Aboriginal cultural heritage values.

IN E2.4.2 Guidance on the level and type of assessment and consultation required will be provided to councils by the Department of Planning and the Department of Environment and Climate Change.

E6 Conserve Sydney’s cultural heritage.

E6.1 Provide a consistent approach to identify and protect Sydney’s cultural heritage

IN E6.1.2 Where existing heritage studies are out of date or inadequate, council’s will review and/or update them as part of preparing their principal LEPs.

E6.2 Recognise where Sydney’s cultural heritage contributes to its character and manage change appropriately to reinforce local distinctiveness.

B6.2.1 The Department of Planning in consultation with local councils will develop and approach to mage conservation areas whilst achieving growth targets.

Heritage

A response to the relevant Directions and Actions of the Metropolitan Strategy and Draft Inner North Subregional Strategy is included in Appendix I.

DRAFT RYDE LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN 2008

Draft Ryde LEP 2008 is used as a reference rather than Ryde Planning Scheme Ordinance as it is this document which will be amended to form the comprehensive LEP.

LEP 2008 includes heritage clauses and heritage listings in Schedule 5. There are 201heritage items and 4 heritage conservation areas.

COMPREHENSIVE LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN

The City of Ryde is required to prepare a comprehensive local environmental plan (LEP) by 2011. This LEP is required to be based on the Standard LEP template. The LEP has mandatory clauses for heritage conservation. These are attached in Appendix E.

The heritage clauses in LEP2008 are the same as those in the Standard LEP so there will be no change to the clauses for the comprehensive LEP.

Section 117 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act allows the Minister for Planning to give directions regarding the principles, aims, objectives and/or policies to be achieved or given effect to, in the preparation of LEPs. Section 117 Direction 2.3 Heritage Conservation is relevant to this Heritage Study. This Direction requires councils to ensure LEPs have provisions that facilitate the conservation of:

Heritage places Aboriginal objects or places protected under the

NPWS Act Aboriginal areas, objects, places and landscapes

identified by an Aboriginal heritage survey.

A copy of the Direction and is included in Appendix F.

The Department of Planning has also released a number of planning circulars and practice notes which provide guidance on the way in which the Standard LEP is to be used in the development of new LEPs.

6.1.8 RECENT HERITAGE STUDIES

LANDSCAPE AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF BRUSH FARM ESTATE

The Landscape and Archaeological Assessment for the former Brush farm Estate Eastwood, NSW was prepared by Geoffrey Britton in association with historical archaeologist Siobhan Lavelle and cultural landscape historian Colleen Morris in December 2004.

Brush Farm House is a remarkable and rare survivor from one of the earliest formative periods of the Australian colony and, together with rare extant evidence of early intensive agriculture, remaining distant view prospects and a likely significant archaeological resource, it is certainly on a par with the neighbouring Estate remnants of exceptional cultural significance at Parramatta.

The present Estate curtilage, immediately surrounding Brush Farm House, is a small area of land much reduced from the former Blaxland (and earlier Cox) farm which encompassed an area to Shaftsbury Road in the east to just beyond King Street in the west, Terry Road to the north and Victoria Road to the south. (The land west of Marsden Road is within the Parramatta City Council Local Government Area.)

Given its relative intactness and rarity, the current and future conservation of the remaining Brush Farm cultural resources - with clearly demonstrated significance for Australia, New South Wales and the City of Ryde - is therefore of concern. There are many surviving Estate elements that have the capacity to interpret the development and functions of the former Estate core.

Heritage

The study:

outlines the historic extent of the Brush Farm Estate;

identifies of extant landscape and archaeological elements of the Brush Farm Estate;

identifies the primary and secondary view corridors.

provides conservation policies and strategies that could be incorporated into:

Plans of Management. Heritage Conservation Plans and

management practices. landscape natural area and archaeology

conservation management practices; and recommends actions relating to the cultural

elements, archaeology, native vegetation, landscape and view lines for Brush Farm House, Brush Farm Park and an expanded curtilage.

Council resolved on 19 July 2005 that a draft implementation plan be prepared to guide the implementation of the recommendations listed in the Brush Farm Estate study. This implementation plan is currently being prepared. While this implementation plan is yet to be finalised, a number of the recommendations have been actioned.

RYDE FORESHORE NATURAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE STUDY

The natural and cultural heritage study of the Parramatta River foreshore has been prepared by the heritage consultants Godden Mackay Logan. The purpose of the study is to assist in the identification of heritage items as well as to inform future planning and management of the ‘Riverwalk’ trail. The report also provides a series of thematic histories to illustrate the heritage of the Ryde foreshore and an interpretation framework to put forward ideas for future on-site interpretation.

The foreshore study includes updated inventory sheets for some existing heritage items along the foreshore, and also proposes a number of new heritage items. These items will be included in the comprehensive LEP as new heritage items if this is the resolution made by Council when the foreshore study is reported to Council.

The updated inventory sheets and proposed new heritage items are not addressed in this Heritage Study.

6.1.9 ABORIGINAL HERITAGE

Little is known about the original inhabitants of the Ryde district. All of the information that we have is from the accounts of Europeans in the first few years of the founding of the colony. The territory from Sydney Cove to Parramatta, on the northern side of the Parramatta River, was thought to be that of the Wallumedegal, and had the Aboriginal name Wallumetta, the territory of the Wallumede people.

There are a number of Aboriginal places in the City of Ryde which are listed in Draft LEP2008. The places include sites of rock engravings and middens. The sites provide an important insight into how Aboriginal people occupied and used the landscape in the pre-contact period.

Aboriginal cultural heritage is also protected in New South Wales under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 which provides statutory protection for Aboriginal objects and places.

Council has recently resolved to join a partnership of Councils in order to collectively fund and employ an Aboriginal Heritage manager to assist participating Councils in the effective conservation and protection of Aboriginal heritage sites. The other partnership Councils are North Sydney Council, Lane Cove Council, Willoughby Council and Warringah Council. The partnership will commence in March 2010.

6.2 METHODOLOGY

6.2.1 SELECTION OF PLACES FOR INVESTIGATION

The places selected for investigation of their heritage significance are:

those nominated through the community based heritage study

church buildings stone markers

COMMUNITY BASED HERITAGE STUDY NOMINATIONS

A community based heritage study was commenced with Council’s Heritage Advisory Committee in 2003. A project scope was first determined and a standard nomination form prepared. The project was then presented to the Heritage Advisory Committee and support for the project obtained.

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 items.

As a result of this initial investigation selected places were investigated in detail by Council’s Heritage Officer to evaluate their heritage significance. The assessment was recorded on heritage data forms. The draft data forms were reviewed by a number of members of the Heritage Advisory Committee, as well as Council’s Local Studies Librarian, and any comments incorporated into the sheets.

The tables below separate the places which were investigated for their heritage significance from those which were not further investigated.

The methodology of the assessment of the heritage significance is discussed in section 6.2.2.

CHURCHES

Churches are important and often prominent buildings within the City of Ryde, and an aspect of the history of Ryde which has not been investigated comprehensively. Many of the earliest churches such as St Anne’s were recommended for heritage listing by previous heritage studies but later churches appear not to have been investigated. It is considered that church buildings are a gap in the heritage assessment of the built environment of Ryde.

The City of Ryde Community Information 2009 directory was used to obtain a list of churches. Council’s Heritage Officer then undertook an initial investigation of the entire list in order to identify those churches which warranted a more detailed investigation. The detailed investigation of each church was undertaken in accordance with the NSW Heritage Branch guidelines for the assessment of heritage significance. Churches which did not warrant further investigation were those which did not display aesthetic values sufficient to reach the threshold for local heritage listing. The assessment of heritage significance was undertaken in accordance with NSW heritage branch guidelines discussed in section 2.2.

Twenty nine churches were investigated, and all these, with the exception of the former St. Kevin’s church in Eastwood and St. Chad’s in Putney, were built in the Post-War period. The churches share a common general history in that they are representative of the suburbanisation of Ryde after WWII and the corresponding establishment of new community buildings to service the new communities.

St. Kevin’s church in Eastwood, and St. Chad’s in Putney were built in the Inter-War period and display architectural characteristics typical of this time. The architectural character of all the other churches is “Modern Ecclesiastical”. However the churches vary considerably in design displaying a wide variety of structures, forms and materials.


6-13

Heritage

A number of the churches investigated display insufficient architectural merit to satisfy the aesthetic criteria for heritage listing. The churches also demonstrate insufficient heritage values with regard to their historical, with their association with important people or events, or research potential. They were therefore not investigated further. (Note that an investigation of social significance was outside the scope of this study. See section 2.7 Limitations)

STONE MARKERS

A study of stone markers was undertaken in 2009 by, Dr Peter Mitchell with the support of Council’s Heritage Officer and Heritage Advisory Committee. The study, Stone boundary markers within the City of Ryde, completed in August 2009 has been used as the basis for investigation of stone markers for heritage listing.

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 12 inches (300mm) wide 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.

In Ryde, quartz sandstone is the material used for alignment posts, and presumably the material came from local quarries. Within the City of Ryde nine posts have been located in situ and the former location of two others is known (see table below). 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.

The stone marker study was used as a basis for the assessment of heritage significance of the known alignment posts.

The study is included as Appendix D.

Heritage

6.2.2 ASSESSMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

The assessment of significance for each place investigated was undertaken in accordance with the NSW Department of Planning (Heritage Branch) guidelines. The steps in assessing significance are:

Summarise what you know about the item Describe the previous and current uses of the

item, its associations with individuals or groups and its meaning for those people

Assess significance using the NSW heritage assessment criteria

Check whether you can make a sound analysis of the item’s heritage significance

Determine the item’s level of significance Prepare a succinct statement of heritage

significance

Heritage significance is assessed because it is important to understand the heritage values of a place before making decisions about the place. This is likely to include decisions about ways which will retain these values in the future. The main aim in assessing significance is to produce a succinct statement of heritage significance, which summarises an item’s heritage values. The statement is the basis for policies and management structures that will affect the item’s future.

An extract of the NSW Department of Planning (Heritage Branch) guidelines for assessing heritage significance are included in Appendix G.

6.2.3 ABORIGINAL HERITAGE

The Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) has issued guidelines to assist councils in the Sydney Metropolitan area to address Aboriginal Cultural heritage in the preparation of LEPs. A copy of the guidelines are included in Appendix H. The guidelines recommend that two types of Aboriginal cultural heritage assessments (archaeological and cultural) be undertaken in order to inform the preparation of local environmental plans.

As part of the Heritage Study a search of the Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System

(AHIMS) held by DECCW was undertaken. The AHIMS register includes a database of all Aboriginal objects, Aboriginal places and other Aboriginal heritage values in New South Wales which have been reported to the National Parks and Wildlife Service. The AHIMS register lists 59 Aboriginal sites in the City of Ryde, many of these are not listed in Ryde Planning Scheme Ordinance nor draft LEP2008. The list was provided to Council by DECCW on the basis that it was not to be made public, and the guidelines state that information which could identify the precise locations of known Aboriginal sites should not be included in LEPs. It is noted however that most of Aboriginal places in the AHIMS appear to be located on public land within parks, mainly in Lane Cove NP.

The Department of Planning (through the Sydney Region East Team) has advised that Aboriginal heritage items are no longer to be included in the heritage schedules of LEPs as these places are already protected by other legislation (National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974).

On advice from the Department of Planning it is assumed that Aboriginal places currently listed in draft LEP2008 will be removed from this LEP. Changes for the comprehensive LEP are therefore not required (unless the Department changes its view on this matter.)

6.2.4 REVIEW OF HERITAGE LISTINGS IN LEP 2008

The heritage listing in the consolidated LEP (LEP 2008) were reviewed with regard to the following matters:

any items which had been demolished; any heritage items or heritage conservation areas

which have changed extent as a result of subdivision or required a review of the places heritage significance;

places listed as separate items even though they are located on the same property allotment;

corrections to existing listings, as a result of such things as name changes or clarifications or corrections, street addresses and the like;

changes required in order to ensure consistency between the heritage map and the heritage schedule.

6-16


Heritage

It is recommended that items located on the same property but currently listed separately in the heritage schedule of LEP2008 be amalgamated into a single listing so that there is one listing for an individual property. Likewise, it is recommended that individual properties which are currently joined together in one listing be separated.

6.2.5 UPDATED INVENTORY SHEETS

Draft updated inventory sheets for some existing heritage items have been prepared by heritage consultants, Godden Mackay Logan. The list of updated sheets is tabled below and a copy of each sheet is included in Appendix B.

6.2.6 LIMITATIONS

The broad limitations of this study are:

a new thematic history of the City of Ryde was not undertaken (the history of the City of Ryde prepared by a professional historian for the 1988 heritage study was used and supplemented with additional research where necessary);

a comprehensive review of all existing heritage items listed in the Draft Ryde LEP 2008 was not undertaken;

the assessment of significance for most proposed items is of the external form of buildings and does not include an assessment of interiors, the exceptions are the interiors of three churches, Holy Spirit, St. Kevins and St. Anthonys, which were included in the assessment;

the assessment of significance for the church buildings does not include an assessment of social significance (there was not the opportunity to meet with the congregations of the different churches in order to assess the importance of each church building to the associated community);

limited community involvement (although consultation will be undertaken with owners of items recommended by this study to be made heritage items);

an Aboriginal heritage study was not undertaken; and

a landscape study was not undertaken.

6.3 CONSULTATION 6.3.1 STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION

The Draft Heritage Study 2010 was presented to Council on 20 April 2010. At this meeting Council resolved to consult affected landowners regarding the Draft Ryde Heritage Study 2010, prior to considering properties in the Draft Local Environmental Plan (LEP) Heritage Schedule.

The Draft Heritage Study 2010 recommended that:

71 properties be included as heritage items in the City of Ryde Comprehensive LEP, including 47 dwellings, 2 public buildings, 13 churches and 9 stone survey markers.

4 heritage items be deleted from the City of Ryde Comprehensive LEP Heritage Schedule.

Property descriptions and name information of 15 heritage items be updated.

The boundaries of Maxim Street Conservation Area be amended.

All affected land owners were advised by mail on 19 May 2010 and given until 18 June 2010 to make submissions (a period of 30 days). Opportunities to discuss the proposals with planning staff were provided at two drop-in sessions at the Civic Centre held on:

Monday 24 May 2010 between 12.30 pm and 6.00 pm, and

Monday 31 May 2010 between 12.30 pm to 6.00 pm.

A briefing session was also held on Monday 31 May 2010 from 6.00pm.

The information mailed to land owners was circulated to the Heritage Advisory Committee for their comment and included;

the relevant data sheet regarding their property; proposed additional heritage items list; brochure Heritage Listing Benefits for owners by

the NSW Heritage Office City of Ryde information sheet regarding what it

means to be heritage listed.

6.3.2 RESULTS OF CONSULTATION

Council received submissions from 7 landowners who supported the heritage listing of their properties, 2 from landowners who supported being removed from the heritage list or conservation area. 34 landowners objected to heritage listing. A number of affected property owners attended the Civic Centre to obtain additional information before formalising their views in writing. The summary of the consultation was as follows:

Heritage

The land owners who supported the listing of dwellings gave the following reasons for support;

Preservation of Victorian, Federation and Californian Bungalow houses and other structures adds greatly to the amenity of the Ryde area and should be encouraged.

Heritage listing records the achievements, success, skills and work of all Australian people in building our nation.

The land owner who supported the listing of the two churches did not give a reason for support.

Of the submissions made by land owners objecting to heritage listing, the main issues raised are summarised as follows:

Loss of property values, generally as advised by local real estate agents.

Some land owners have been approached for heritage listing on previous occasions.

Did not agree that their property should be listed when other better properties of the same architectural style were not proposed to be listed.

The poor condition of their property, including structural and maintenance issues.

Their property had lost original features, including chimneys, and original timber windows, and doors.

Limitations for redevelopment (and demolition) if the property is heritage listed.

Listing would impose limitations on carrying out renovations.

Of the submissions made by affected owners of churches, the main concerns raised against the proposed listing are summarised as follows:

Limitations on carrying out renovations. The Church buildings had little heritage

significance. The religion and the church community is the

socially significant entity not the building. Listing limits redevelopment plans. Listing limits the capacity of the building to meet

the changing needs of the church community.

Arguments regarding economic hardship, loss of property values, and maintenance are in themselves not a valid planning consideration in determining heritage significance. However it is recognised that heritage listing does limit development potential for some sites.

At their meeting of 23 June 2010 the Heritage Advisory Committee (HAC) were advised of the issues raised in submissions and heard presentations from a number of landowners who opposed heritage listing. The HAC recommended to Council that:

The proposed heritage listings of dwellings not proceed, unless supported by the property owners.

The proposed de-listing of properties proceed and the Maxim Street conservation area be reduced in size as proposed.

A comprehensive heritages study be undertaken for the City of Ryde in accordance with NSW Heritage Branch guidelines.

A consultation strategy is developed as part of a future comprehensive heritage study.

Heritage

The HAC recommendations were reported to Council on 17 August 2010 and the Council resolved:

(a) That properties identified in Table 2 as circulated by Memo and tabled at the meeting (dated 16 August 2010 from Group Manager Environment and Planning) be included in the Draft Ryde Comprehensive Local Environmental 2011 Environmental Heritage Schedule 5 and maps.

(b) The boundary of the Maxim Street Heritage Conservation Area be amended as shown on the plan attached to the report of the Heritage Officer dated 26 July 2010 and be included in the Draft Ryde Comprehensive Local Environmental Plan 2011 Environmental Heritage Schedule 5 and maps.

(c) That four Heritage Items identified in Table 3 be deleted from the Draft Ryde Comprehensive Local Environmental Plan 2011 Environmental Heritage Schedule 5 and maps.

(d) That the property descriptions and information of fifteen listed heritage items identified in Tables 4, 5 and 6 be updated and amended in the Draft Ryde Comprehensive Local Environmental Plan 2011 Environmental Heritage Schedule 5.

(e) That a report be attached to the Heritage Study that outlines the results of the consultation process and outcomes (including Council’s resolutions).

(f) That the properties that have been rejected from this process not be considered by Council in any future heritage studies.

(g) That the proposed Heritage Study in the Management Plan for 2011-2012 be discontinued and be removed from the 2011-2012 Plan.

(h) That Council not pursue compulsory heritage listing of any property unless the land owner of the property applies for a heritage listing of the property. Council on 2 November 2010, resolved to list 14 Miriam Rd. West Ryde as a heritage item in the Comprehensive Local Environment Plan

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)

6.4.3 ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES

SUBDIVISION

It is recommended for the purposes of clarity, that separate properties currently amalgamated into the same heritage item be listed as separate items so that each individual property has its own listing.

The following item is currently one item which includes 4 separate properties. The properties used to be combined into one larger property but were subdivided when The Laurels Nursing Home moved out. Only 2 of the properties have heritage significance (1 See Street and 1A Angas Street). The other properties have insufficient heritage values to warrant listing (38 See Street has a modern house, 1B Angas Street is a vacant allotment).

Tramline monument

The monument which was erected in 1908 by Council to celebrate the extension of the city tramline to Hatton’s Flat (Top Ryde) was moved to the old bus terminus when the Civic Centre was built in the early 1960’s. It was moved again as a result of road works associated with the construction of Top Ryde City shopping centre which commenced construction in 2008. The current location is adjacent to the rear of Ryde Civic Hall at 1 Devlin Street, Ryde. The information in the heritage schedule needs to be updated to state the current location of the monument.

6.4.4 MAXIM STREET HERITAGE CONSERVATION AREA

The review of the Maxim Street Heritage Conservation Area has resulted in a recommendation that the extent of the existing conservation area be reduced as the northern half of the conservation area does has insufficient heritage values to warrant inclusion. The reasons for this are that this northern section is dominated by residential flat buildings and single detached houses built mainly in the 1960s. The part of the conservation area proposed to be retained is characterised by predominantly single storey Californian bungalow style houses built in the 1920s.

An updated inventory sheet of the conservation area has also been prepared and is attached in Appendix B.

MAXIM ST. CONSERVATION AREA


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

Study prepared by Dr Peter Mitchell for the City of Ryde Heritage Advisory Committee, August 2009.


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:


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:


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


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).


shows evidence of a significant human occupation is associated with a significant event, person, or group of persons


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.


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.


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).


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


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


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).


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.


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).


is important for its associations with an identifiable group is important to a community’s sense of place


is only important to the community for amenity reasons is retained only in preference to a proposed alternative


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.


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.


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).


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


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


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.


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).


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


is not rare is numerous but under threat


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).


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


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.

DECWW ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE GUIDELINES


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.
