Adopted Level Plans (E1A), 1852-1966

Description

Unique IDAS-0493DateBetween 1st January 1852 and 1st January 1966Date qualifiercircaFormatPlanDescriptionThe adopted level plans are the original master drawings showing street width and levels as adopted by Council.

The plans, when first created, were assigned an alpha-numeric control number consisting of the first letter of the street name and a sheet number, for example, "A4 Adopted", is the drawing of the adopted permanent levels of Albion Lane. At a later (unknown) date, the plans were renumbered and assigned an "E1A" control number - "A4 Adopted" was renumbered "E1A - 2/1". The plans appear to have been sorted into a rough alphabetical order by street name and then assigned an "E1A" number. Each street is assigned a number (for example, Albion Lane is E1A - 2, the first drawing is sheet 1 (E1A-2/1) and subsequent drawings are numbered consecutively (E1A-2/1, 2/2, 2/3 etc). The plans have been sorted into two alphabetical sequences and then assigned their "E1A" number. The first includes drawings E1A -2/1 to E1A-57/1, Albion to York Streets and date to the 1850s and 1860s. The second sequence runs from E1A - 58/1 to E1A - 259 (Allen to Yurong Streets). and dates to 1966.

This system does not include drawings numbered 260 to 263: 260/1 levels of Castlereagh Lane, 261/ not assigned, 262/1 to 26 - permanent levels of Waterloo, Redfern and Rosebery Streets, 263/1 to 5 - permanent levels of several streets in Glebe.

The City Engineer's Department no longer creates E1A plans on a regular basis, so this is essentially a closed series.
