Millers Point & Walsh Bay Heritage Review

The Millers Point and Walsh Bay Heritage Review commenced in April 2006 to provide a detailed examination of the heritage values of the existing ‘Special Area’ at Millers Point and Walsh Bay (Sydney LEP 2005). A draft of the Review was exhibited in late 2006 and all submissions were considered in the finalisation of the Review.

The Review was completed in March 2007 and at its meeting of 07 April 2008 the Council considered a report on the Review. Council resolved to create a new Millers Point Heritage Conservation Area to replace the existing ‘Special Area’ and heritage streetscapes, and to list 8 new heritage items at Millers Point. The proposed heritage items are.

Proposed Item Address
Abraham Mott Hall 2 Watson Road
Bureau of Meteorology Building 9 Upper Fort Street
Fort Street Primary School 1005 Upper Fort Street
Kent Street Tennis Court and Pavilion 96-108 Kent Street
Messengers Cottage for Sydney Observatory 9A Upper Fort Street
Argyle Street Laneway Argyle Street Laneway
Lance and High Lane retaining wall and steps Lance and High Lane
Watson Road Steps Watson Road

A map of the proposed Millers Point Heritage Conservation Area can be viewed by opening Attachment F to the Council Report (see the links at the bottom of this page).

How the review will be used

The proposed Millers Point Heritage Conservation Area and 8 heritage items will be incorporated in the Heritage Item Schedule of the new City Plan LEP.

Other recommendations of the Review including those relating to significant views and vistas will also inform the preparation of the City Plan LEP.

Exhibition of the review

A draft of the City Plan LEP is scheduled for statutory public exhibition in late 2009. Owners of proposed heritage items and community and government stakeholders will be notified and provided with an opportunity for comment.
