To ascertain whether the places would meet the criteria threshold for inclusion on the LEP, de-listing from the LEP or inclusion on the SHR Artefact undertook a multi-staged approach to the assessment of these places which included:
Physical surveys of each place (externally)
Historical research about the Hornsby Local Government Area, including historical development, subdivision and detailed property history
Determination whether each place met the criteria threshold based on their significance and integrity
Community consultation with the Hornsby Heritage Committee
- Preparation of report which clearly outlines our findings and recommendations
Preparation of inventories for places which were shortlisted for LEP local heritage listing
“The Hornsby Shire is a treasure trove of heritage sites, some dating back to the mid-1800s and associations with convicts and the first settlers in the area. There are some wonderful examples of built heritage, particularly dating from the inter-war period of the 1920s and 1930s which is strongly linked to the development of the railway
in the area.”
Sarah-Jane Zammit, Artefact Senior Associate
Top image - Hornsby Girls High is one of Sydney’s earliest girls’ high schools which is still in use today. It was opened in 1930 and possesses unusual features associated with the classical and Anglo-Dutch styles of architecture. The large building is a major component of the Edgeworth David streetscape.
Recommendation for 98 places for inclusion as heritage items on the LEP, 80 of which were shortlisted for inventories, recommendation for 4 items to be de-listed from the LEP, and recommendation that 24 items meet the threshold for state heritage significance and should be included on the SHR.
Image - Fagan Park in Galston is a significant cultural landscape with historical, social, architectural, cultural, aesthetic and archaeological significance for the Galston area, Hornsby Shire and all of NSW alike. It has a strong historical association with a number of significant individuals and families who were involved in the development of Hornsby Shire, particularly the Fagan family. It has remnant Sydney Turpentine ironbark Forest, Gardens of Many Nation and the Netherby farm complex. The landscape of Fagan Park has strong associations with past and is held in high esteem by the contemporary communities of the Galston area and the Hornsby Shire. The park is rare by virtue of the date of its first European settlement.
