Industrial Building Cockatoo Island

Sydney Harbour Federation Trust

The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust commenced a program of works to address maintenance issues on Buildings 57, 58, 123 and 124 on Cockatoo Island. Building 57 is a former Rectifier Room and Building 58 is the former Powerhouse.

Buildings 123 and 124 are timber framed warehouse style buildings. As part of the works, an Archival Photographic Recording of the areas proposed to be altered was required by Heritage NSW.

With the assistance of Duratec Limited, GBA Heritage took each photograph with care, addressing issues such as poor light and distance.

The photographs were printed on archivally stable paper by Photoland and combined in a bound report using archivally stable sheets.

The reports were submitted to and accepted by Heritage NSW, allowing the works program to continue successfully.
