1.5 The Study AreaThe study area for this report is the route of the Monorail, as shown in Figure 1.1, and the built environment of thestreets it passes through.1.6 Historical ContextThe Monorail, originally known as TNT Harbour Link, is located within two historically important areas of Sydney;the southern section of the CBD and Darling Harbour. As it runs through established street corridors it is in thevicinity of a range of historic and heritage listed buildings.The Monorail was constructed in the late 1980s to provide a transport link to the former rail yard and industrialarea of Darling Harbour which was redeveloped to provide entertainment and exhibition facilities to coincide withthe Bicentenary of Australia.1.7 Heritage ConsiderationsAlthough no part of the Monorail structure itself is heritage listed, the route physically crosses two individuallylisted items, through a Special Area, and is in close proximity to a number of individually listed heritage items, asnoted below.The following heritage items are directly in the path of the Monorail:• Pyrmont Bridge, listed on the NSW State Heritage Register and the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority(SHFA) Section 170 Register• The overall property at 275 Pitt Street, that contains the Galeries Victoria Station and the Former School ofArts but not the heritage item itself (NSW State Heritage Register, Sydney LEP 2005, Draft Sydney LEP 2011)• Darling Harbour Rail Corridor, listed on the SHFA Section 170 Register• Special Area 2, York Street, listed under the Sydney LEP 2005.A list of the identifi ed heritage items immediately adjacent to, and in the vicinity of, the Monorail has been includedin Section 4.0 of this report. While no physical impact will be generated by the proposed removal it is essential thatthe works methodology guards against accidental damage.6Monorail Removal ProjectStatement of Heritage ImpactNovember 2012Graham Brooks & Associates Pty Ltd
