Middle Head

Submissions invited

 

The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust has prepared a Draft Management Plan for its land at Middle Head precinct.

The Middle Head precinct was most recently used for institutional and military purposes before being vacated by Defence in 1998. The remaining complex of buildings is set within open lawns, ringed by the bushland of Sydney Harbour National Park.

Other significant features of the site include the former Mosman Golf Clubhouse and Middle Head Oval. Much of the original vegetation has been removed, however there are areas of remnant bushland within the precinct, particularly along Middle Head Road.

The key aims of the Draft Plan are to:

  • Conserve and interpret the Commonwealth Heritage values of Middle Head;
  • Maximise public access by providing pathways and parking areas;
  • Adaptively re-use buildings in a manner that retains and conveys their heritage value;
  • Allow some buildings to be modified, removed or replaced with new buildings;
  • Retain the precinct's institutional garden-like character and expand bushland areas on the periphery; and
  • Integrate the precinct with adjoining lands as part of a unified Headland Park and network of open space.

The Draft Management Plan will be on public exhibition from 29 November 2006 to 25 January 2007 at the following locations: Mosman Council, Mosman Library, the Harbour Trust Offices, Mosman and online at www.harbourtrust.gov.au

Submissions are invited until 5pm 25 January 2007, addressed to Draft Management Plan Submissions – Middle Head, Sydney Harbour Federation Trust, PO Box 607, Mosman NSW 2088 or by email to consulttrust@harbourtrust.gov.au
