Why we’re doing this

The Sydney Park brick kilns and chimneys are a symbol of the city’s industrial heritage and holds historical and cultural significance.

The City of Sydney wants to ensure this important place is preserved. An assessment report carried out in 2020 identified that major works are required. We are undertaking works to ensure the historical brickworks site is maintained for the future.

What we’re doing

We need to stabilise the brick kilns and at the same time will renew the landscaping in this area. This work will retain the site’s industrial character and create a special place in the landscape for the community to enjoy.

The focus of works on the brick kilns will be to stabilise the chimneys and kiln structures to make the area safe.

We’re asking for feedback to develop a concept design for the landscaping works. We’re interested in understanding how you currently use the space, what you value about this historic site and your ideas for landscaping this area.

Next steps

We will use your feedback to create a concept design. The concept design will be open for consultation later this year for further community feedback.
