Conservation Management StrategyEnmore Park5.0 Exemptions under the Heritage Act(a) Demolition: The items cited under Policy 4 above may be demolished.(b) Damage or despoil: No item of heritage significance should be damaged or despoiled.(c) Moving of relics or objects. With regard to objects, there would be no objection torelocating the rocket or the stone fountain at the entrance to the Park off Enmore Road.toanother location in the Park. The two sandstone entrance portals and the bus shelter alongEnmore Road should not be moved or relocated.(d) Excavation for relics. As it is not anticipated there would be archaeological items belowthe surface of the Park, the issue of excavating for, or moving, a relic is not likely toarise.(e) New development. Any work under policies 4 above and 9 below, and as shown in futurelandscape master plans.(f) Alterations. Any work under policies 4 above and 9 below, and as shown in futurelandscape master plans.(g) Trees and other vegetation: Trees identified as having heritage significance should becarefully maintained by a skilled arborist until they fall into senescence. At that stage,they may be removed. Trees with no heritage significance may also be removed,although their retention should be considered on amenity or aesthetic grounds under theTree Preservation Order.6.0 Archaeological material. Not applicable7.0 Gaps in existing knowledge about the ParkNo details or images have yet been located of the original fountain and bandstand that wereinstalled in the very early years of the Park.The provenance of the octagonal stone fountain at the entrance to the Park off Enmore Road hasalso not yet been established; nor has that of the late Victorian/Edwardian lamp posts.Lack of information about these elements, however, should not be regarded as a reason to alteror remove them, since it is assumed they have some - if low to moderate - significance.8.0 Distribution of this documentDecisions regarding the distribution of this document are essentially a matter for MarrickvilleCouncil. It is assumed that a copy would be provided to Council’s heritage planner and/oradviser, and to the landscape projects branch of Council. It could also be made available to theLocal History Centre and Council archivist.As the Park is not of State significance, it is not necessary for this CMS to be deposited in theHeritage Office library, although it could be if desired.When works contracts are being let, a copy should be made available to the head landscapecontractor so that due respect will be given to the recommended treatment for heritage items.9.0 Public safetyThe Park is open to the public at all times and possible risks will have been routinely assessedand dealt with. No new issue of public safety is likely to arise as a consequence of advice orrecommendations in this CMS.Mayne-Wilson & Associates34Conservation Landscape Architects
Conservation Management StrategyEnmore Park10.0 Conservation needs and interpretation requirementsThe need to conserve the Park’s contributory heritage elements has already been addressed inPolicy 3 above. Most of these needs are covered by routine park maintenance.Whether or not the Park requires interpretation to its users is a matter for Council to decide. IfCouncil wished to draw attention to the 19 th century origin of the Park – and thereby explain thereasons for its style and furnishings, there could be advantage in having a few illustrated signs attwo or three key access points. These could provide succinct information on the history of thePark, supported by a few historical images. Regrettably, however, no vivid or compellingimages have yet been located; nor have significant events been associated with it.If, however, vandalism or graffiti is considered to be a significant problem, then perhaps a brassplaque set in concrete giving essential historical facts would be sufficient. This could be locatedeither at the Enmore Road main entrance or at the rondel in the centre of the Park.11.0 Confidential mattersThere are no confidential matters to be addressed.12.0 ReviewGiven the uncomplicated nature of Enmore Park, it would not appear necessary to replace thisCMS with a formal CMP. If that is agreed, the CMS should be reviewed every five years. If not,then a formal CMP should be prepared within the next five years.13.0 Concluding RemarksLike other parks in the Marrickville LGA, Enmore Park has evolved slowly over the last 120years. It has been mostly a park for passive recreation and informal sports and games, as well asa place for holding community events. The swimming pool complex, a comparatively recentaddition to the Park, provides the one purpose-built sporting/recreation facility (beyond theroutine children’s playground), and this is already being considered for review and expansion.The Park derives its significance mainly from its long period of use and the value attached to itby the local community, rather than from any special qualities. However, it is a welcome,generous green open space in an area of dense built form, an amenity much appreciated andvalued by local residents in small houses on tight allotments.The elements which contribute to its significance comprise hardy, typical fabric found in mostparks in the Sydney region, and their management and maintenance requirements are mostlyroutine. This report has identified those elements which have some significance, and theconservation principles and practices which should be adopted and implemented. They are notonerous, and most can be carried out in the course of routine park maintenance.Not every group of trees, or single tree, are worthy of being individually listed, but are worthy ofretention and need to be protected by over-arching controls. The approach is similar to that forurban conservation areas – in which diverse and recurring features contribute to significance butare not individually suitable for listing, and only a few elements might be individually identifiedas heritage items within the overall listing.The greater challenge for Council lies in the extent to which it adopts proposed changes –upgrading, redesign, and enhancement – proposed in the landscape masterplan.
