Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek says the nine historic defence sites around Sydney Harbour need to attract more tourists and offer a broader range of experiences while preserving their significant heritage value.
Nine historic defence sites around Sydney Harbour must raise revenue and attract more tourists, Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has declared, even as the agency managing the sites scales back redevelopment plans in the face of community pressure.
Instead, the Trust is proposing to use the headland for no more than two events a year – such as heritage open days, temporary exhibitions or community festivals – and cap visitors at 500 a day. The brick buildings of the 10 Terminal will still be redeveloped, including food and beverage. An image supplied by the Harbour Trust shows the timber barracks buildings will be demolished to create an open public space to the right of Middle Head Oval.– makes it clear she wants the Trust to protect heritage at the same time as opening up the sites to more visitors. The portfolio also includes Cockatoo Island, North Head Sanctuary and Sub Base Platypus.
