Info

The assessment indicates that the proposal as a whole would have little effect on the non-Aboriginal heritage values of the study area. In summary, the planned traffic efficiency improvements that would be introduced adjacent to a number of building façades may slightly affect their visual setting. However the proposal would have no direct impact on the fabric of any building including its façades or associated awnings. There would be locations where traffic would be brought closer to heritagelisted building frontages with associated awnings. This may increase the chance of high-sided vehicles striking these awnings due to the reduced separation distance between kerb edge and the awning. This has been considered as a hazard that would be managed through implemented traffic management controls (refer to section 6.14). In summary the heritage-items whose context and setting would be marginally compromised as a result of the proposal would include the following: NW1: Kent Street: Watch House Terrace (state listed), Red Cross House (state listed), Commercial Terrace Group (locally listed), Andrews Bros warehouse (locally listed) and the Ambassador warehouse (locally listed) NW2: King Street: The Grace building (state listed), former unnamed warehouse (locally listed), ‘Ashdown & Co’ building (locally listed) and the ‘Sydney Arcade’ building (locally listed) R2: Market Street: Gowing Bros building (locally listed), Crystal Hotel (locally listed), Fay’s Chambers (locally listed) and the David Jones Department Store (locally listed) R3: Sussex Street: Unnamed building (state listed), City Bank of Sydney and Post Office (locally listed), Foley Bros warehouse (locally listed) R4: Clarence Street: Transport House (state listed), Watch House (state listed), Pinnacle House (state listed), Commercial building (locally listed) and the ‘Archway Terrace’ warehouse (locally listed) R5: York Street: The Grace Building (state listed) and the Commonwealth Bank (locally listed) S3: Pitt Street: Snow’s Emporium (locally listed) C1: Griffith’s Building, Macquarie Hotel (locally listed), Ballarat House (locally listed), Gordon House (locally listed), and Sheffield House (locally listed) C2: College Street: Land Titles Office (state listed), St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral and Chapter House (state listed), Cook and Phillip Park (locally listed) and the Australian Museum (state listed). The other potential impact relates to the former sandstone plinth to the former palisade fence around Hyde Park (work site: C2: College Street). As the location and extent of the plinth is not known the potential impact is unknown and would be investigated further prior to construction, with additional safeguards and management measures implemented accordingly (refer to Table 6-25). Archaeological potential Table 6-24 summarises the proposal’s potential non–Aboriginal archaeological impacts. Appendix E provides a full assessment of all the potential archaeological deposits described in section 6.3.2. The table describes work that would take place with a potential to disturb the ground to a sufficient depth for there to be a potential archaeological impact. It would relate to the following supporting work and other key construction activities as described in Table 3-2: Drainage work Utility adjustments Pedestrian island relocation Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement 261 Review of Environmental Factors
Lighting pole relocation General signage and traffic signal relocation Road furniture relocation. Where the area of potential archaeology extends over several sections of each work site the table reports the high impact rating recorded in the work site. The table describes the potential impacts based on the significance of the remains and their likelihood to have survived combined with the nature of the proposed work in a given location.
