Statement of significance:


	Alexandra Canal is of high historic, aesthetic and technical/research significance. Historically, it is a rare example of 19th century navigational canal construction in Australia, being one of only two purpose built canals in the State, with one other known example in Victoria. It has the ability to demonstrate the NSW Governments initiative to create water transport as a means of developing an industrial complex in the Alexandria and Botany areas and exploiting the use of unemployed labour to achieve its scheme. It played a seminal role in the changing pattern and evolution of the occupation and industrial uses of the local area and nearby suburbs, which included filling large areas of low lying land for development. Aesthetically, intact original sections of the canal, comprising pitched dry packed ashlar sandstone, provides a textured and coloured finish which is aesthetically valuable in the cultural landscape. It is a major landmark and dramatic component of the industrial landscape of the area, particularly as viewed from the Ricketty Street Bridge and along Airport Drive. Scientifically, the excavation of the canal provided a valuable contribution to the understanding of the changing sea-levels along the eastern seaboard and the antiquity of the aboriginal presence in the area. Intact original sections of the fascine dyke sandstone construction are rare examples of late 19th century coastal engineering works. The area has been assessed as having no potential to contain historical archaeological material associated with the development or occupation of the area, either prior to or since the construction of the canal. As a result, the study area would contain no material of historical significance, or material that could contribute to the significance of Alexandra Canal itself.

Description


Designer/Maker:	New South Wales Department of Public Works
Builder/Maker:	New South Wales Department of Public Works
Construction years:	1887-1899
Physical description:	Alexandra Canal is an adapted artificial waterway (formally known as Sheas Creek) which stretches 4.5 km from its southern point at Cooks River to the north near Huntley Street, Alexandria. Its banks are formed by pitching comprising sloping dry sandstone capped with a sandstone caping. It extends from approximately 0.5 metres below low water mark to approximately 1.5 metres above high water mark. It is spanned by 4 bridges: Shell pipeline bridge, Sydenham to Botany Railway line, Canal Road Bridge and a small footbridge. The head of the Canal connects to the Sheas Creek Stormwater Channel, located off Maddox Street in Alexandria, leading under Huntley Street and entering Alexandra Canal. The eastern side of the Canal north of Coward Street is occupied by a series of former mid-twentieth-century woolstore buildings, now used for a variety of purposes (though some are derelict), which are recognised as heritage buildings.
Physical condition and/or Archaeological potential:	The upper deposits of the study area would consist entirely of introduced fill deposits associated with the reclamation of this area and the construction of the Canal in the 1890s. These introduced fill deposits would have no potential to contain archaeological material associated with the used of this area prior to the construction of the Canal. The study area is also unlikely to contain extensive deposits associated with the development and occupation of this area prior to reclamation and the construction of the Canal, though any such material would be located well below the current ground surface. The historical use and development of the study area prior to the construction of the Canal would limit the potential of this area to contain historical archaeological material beneath the introduced fill deposits. The study area would also be unlikely to contain any substantive remains associated with the use of this area since the construction of the Canal or the adjacent woolsheds. The proposed route of the Cycle and Pedestrian Path does not extend across any areas formerly occupied by woolsheds at the southern end of the study area. The method of construction of these sheds would preclude the presence of substantial structural remains and the relatively dated of construction and operation of these structures would also limit the potential for any material associated with this building to be considered as relics within the meaning of the NSW Heritage Act. On the basis of this evaluation, the route of the proposed Cycle and Pedestrian Path has no historical archaeological potential. It is noted that evidence of pre-European occupation of this areas, as well as evidece of the pre-European environment, was discovered during the construction of the Canal in the 1890s below the low water mark. There is always the potential for introduced deposits to contain Aboriginal material, such as isolated stone stools, that have been redeposited and therefore have no contextual significance.
	Date condition updated:03 May 00
Modifications and dates:	The south-western walling of the canal beyond the Shell bridge is rendered rubble walling. The south-eastern face is rendered rubble walling almost to the railway bridge. These alterations to original fabric reflect alterations to the course of the canal near its junction with the Cooks River during the three phases of airport expansion. 2018: Sydney City Council has combined three former depots into the state-of-the-art Alexandra Canal Depot. This sustainable facility provides waste, cleansing and maintenance services to the southern half of the city. Over 1600 solar panels on its roof generate energy which is stored in metropolitan Sydney's first industrial-scale Tesla battery. This can store electricity to meet the daily needs of 50 homes and 50,000 mobile phones (SCC news, 8/2018).


Current use:	Stormwater channel
Former use:	Aboriginal land, farm, navigational canal

History

Historical notes:

The "Eora people" was the name given to the coastal Aborigines around Sydney. Central Sydney is therefore often referred to as "Eora Country". Within the City of Sydney local government area, the traditional owners are the Cadigal and Wangal bands of the Eora. There is no written record of the name of the language spoken and currently there are debates as whether the coastal peoples spoke a separate language "Eora" or whether this was actually a dialect of the Dharug language. Remnant bushland in places like Blackwattle Bay retain elements of traditional plant, bird and animal life, including fish and rock oysters (Anita Heiss, "Aboriginal People and Place", Barani: Indigenous History of Sydney City http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/barani).

With the invasion of the Sydney region, the Cadigal and Wangal people were decimated but there are descendants still living in Sydney today. All cities include many immigrants in their population. Aboriginal people from across the state have been attracted to suburbs such as Pyrmont, Balmain, Rozelle, Glebe and Redfern since the 1930s. Changes in government legislation in the 1960s provided freedom of movement enabling more Aboriginal people to choose to live in Sydney (Anita Heiss, "Aboriginal People and Place", Barani: Indigenous History of Sydney City http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/barani).

Sheas Creek:
Sheas Creek is a tributary of the Cooks River which begins in the once sandy hills of the present Surry Hills east of Redfern. Dredging commenced in 1887 to adapt Sheas Creek to a canal, with the intention of creating manufacturing and industrial opportunities in the area by offering shipping as a means of transporting cargo. The canal was intended to be the 'Birmingham of Australia' and was constructed under an unemployed work relief scheme.

The canal was originally lined with a fascine dyke as were sections of the Cooks River. The original canal started to the south-west of the exisitng Sydenham to Botany railway bridge and extended to the Canal Road Bridge. In 1894 the canal was to be extended to Buckland Street, Redfern, however only part of this section was ever constructed, the limit of the canal was to the south of Huntley Street, Alexandria.

During this period scientists were called in to record the finding of dugong bones displaying butchery marks and stone axes, which were the subject of an acedemic paper. As sections of the canal were completed, wharves were constructed along the canal to encourage its use.

The canal, as originally planned, was substantially completed in 1900. Major changes to the canal occurred when the airport was expanded over three phases from 1947 to 1970. These changes included altering the course of the canal near its junction with the Cooks River. The canal was never considered a success, its use limited by the shallow draught of the vessels that could use it, constant silting, tidal factors and the advent of commercial road transport in the 1930s. This change became permanent when the two lifting span bridges that crossed the Canal were altered to become fixed in the 1930s. By the early 1940s the navigational use of the canal declined to such an extent that is was decided not to maintain the wharves and they were demolished.

The canal was listed for refurbishment by the former South Sydney Council in 1997 as a response to large parts of the area being transformed from industrial to residential use. Sydney Water launched a $4m cleanup a year later, but this plan was soon abandoned. The South Sydney Redevelopment Corporation, a body created to oversee Green Square, then granted students from the University of NSW $5000 to create designs that would transform the canal into a 'stunning water and green recreational corridor'. By 1999 a $300m plan was announced that would place 25,000 residents, cafes and boating facilities along the canal to create the 'Venice of Sydney'. By 2008, due to costs and difficulties with remediating the waterways and land sites the plans were placed in the 'too hard' basket. One recent grasp to keep the canal (renewal) dreams alive came in 2011 when there were calls for coal seam gas exploration to be carried out on the adjacent industrial land. Today the water continues to be riddled with pollution and the EPA has erected signs warning locals of teh severity of the contamination prohibiting both fishing and disturbance of sediments in the canal (Clark, 2018).

The canal in 2018 was (partly) repurposed as a sustainable depot for Sydney City Council staff, powered entirely by industrial sized renewable batteries. It is at the centre of plans to repurpose the foreshore as a Council depot. Lord Mayor Clover Moore launched the new depot last week, which is powered by 1600 solar panels and a battery capable of storing 500-kilowatt-hours of energy. The canal is central to a $40m naturalisation project by Sydney Water, and the industrial area surrounding it now hosts new forms of business and enterprise, such as high-tech industry, creative spaces and retail, distribution facilities, as well as the new Council depot' Moore said. It is not clear how much of this ($40m) money will go into restoring Alexandra Canal to its former health, despite significant regeneration work being undertaken on its shores (ibid, 2018). Council has combined three former depots into the state-of-the-art Alexandra Canal Depot. This sustainable facility provides waste, cleansing and maintenance services to the southern half of the city. Over 1600 solar panels on its roof generate energy which is stored in metropolitan Sydney's first industrial-scale Tesla battery. This can store electricity to meet the daily needs of 50 homes and 50,000 mobile phones (SCC news, 8/2018).

Assessment of significance


SHR Criteria a) [Historical significance]	Alexandra Canal was built during the 1890s depression using unemplyed labour. It is one of two navigational canals built in NSW and is the only canal built to provide access for water transport for the delivery of cargo in NSW. The canal, the warehouses and factories around it, the bridges that cross it and the remains of the wharves are evidence of attempts by the government to encourage development in the area.
SHR Criteria c) [Aesthetic significance]	Sections of the canal exhibit relatively intact sections of ashlar stonework which are excellent examples of late 19th century coastal engineering works that provide a pleasantly textured and coloured finish to the canal. The canal is a major visual landmark in the area and has strong landmark appeal, particularly as viewed from the Ricketty Street Bridge.
SHR Criteria d) [Social significance]	Item does not have any notable outstanding social values.
SHR Criteria e) [Research potential]	The discovery of butchered Dugong bones, aboriginal axes and the remains of an ancient forest in this area, all of which were found beneath the then low water mark during the excavation of the canal, were the subject of an acedemic paper. This paper contributed to the scientific understanding of the changing sea-levels along the eastern seaboard and the antiquity of the aboriginal presence in the area. The Canal exemplifies and is rare tangible evidence of Government initiatives of canal tranportation and implementation of pre 20th century unemploymnent relief schemes.
SHR Criteria f) [Rarity]	Alexandra Canal is one of two extant navigational canals in NSW and one of the few built in Australia in the 19th and 20th century. It was the only purpose built canal constructed to provide navigational access in industrial areas in NSW.
SHR Criteria g) [Representativeness]	Alexandra Canal is a representative example of a late nineteenth century coastal navigational canal.
Integrity/Intactness:	The course of the canal, at the southern end near the Cooks River, has been altered due to airport expansion. Sections of the stonework south of the railway bridge near the Tempe Reserve have been removed while the remainder is substantially intact.
Assessment criteria:	Items are assessed against the State Heritage Register (SHR) Criteria to determine the level of significance. Refer to the Listings below for the level of statutory protection.

Recommended management:

Manage the place and its significant components in accordance with the Heritage Council State Owned Heritage Asset Management Guidelines and the Minimum Standards of Maintenance and Repair in the NSW Heritage Regulations. Manage significant site elements in accordance with a Conservation Management Plan (CMP). If no CMP exists, consult with Asset Management Commercial Services with respect to commissioning a CMP. When commissioning a CMP, do so in accordance with the Model Brief for CMPs available on ConnectNet. Seek endorsement of the CMP from the Heritage Council of NSW. Works undertaken in accordance with a Heritage Council-endorsed CMP do not require further approval under the NSW Heritage Act. Involve heritage professionals as required under the terms of the CMP, or as otherwise determined necessary. Review CMP every 5 years or in a major change of circumstances, whichever is sooner. Review of a CMP should only be undertaken following consultation with Asset Management Commercial Services . When commissioning a CMP review, do so in accordance with the Model Brief for CMPs available on ConnectNet. Where no CMP is in place, or where works are outside the scope of the existing CMP, assess heritage impacts of proposed works in accordance with Sydney Water Environment Impact Assessment guidelines (e.g. undertake a Heritage Assessment and/or Statement of Heritage Impact as required, obtain Heritage Council approval as required). Consult with the Heritage Manager, Environment and Innovation, when major works are planned which affect items of State heritage significance. Undertake archival and photographic recording before major changes, in accordance with Heritage Council guidelines. Lodge copies of the archival record with the Sydney Water Archives and the NSW Heritage Office. Where the item is listed in a Local Environmental Plan Schedule of Heritage items, determine if works are exempt from approval under the LEP provisions. Where works are not exempt, obtain necessary approvals from the local council, in accordance with SWC EIA Guidelines.
