Flemington Sale Yards Plans, 1907-1911

Description

Unique IDAS-0492DateBetween 1st January 1907 and 1st January 1911Date qualifiercircaFormatPlanDescriptionThis series consists of plans showing details of land owned and acquired by Council at the site of the Flemington Sale Yards.

In February 1907 Council accepted a proposal by the Comptroller of Assets and instructions from the Lord Mayor to extend and remodel the Cattle Sale Yards at Flemington by resuming two portions of land. One consisted of a triangular piece of land situated in the middle of the Sale Yards and the second fronted onto Parramatta Road which was convenient to the site of the new abattoir and contiguous to existing cattle sale yards. The formal resolution resuming the land was passed in June 1907 and arrangements were made for compensation to land owners Messrs Pitt Son and Badgery.

The plans in this series show land owned by Messrs Pitt Son and Badgery bad acquired by Council, survey details, levels and bearings and drawings pertaining to the remodelling scheme.

Council controlled the function of markets, sale of cattle/produce even when they were relocate outside the city boundaries. In June 1880 an Act of Parliament permitted Council to acquire the land known as the Homebush Saleyards, this acquisition was completed on 1 November 1882. The accommodation was increased in 1894 and again in 1906, this latter extension is reflected in the plans in this series. Council controlled the saleyards until 1913 when legislation was passed permitting the Government to construct new saleyards at the Homebush Abattoirs.
