Bridge Street, 6.30 pm Sunday, 4 March 1866. “Nobel’s Patent
Blasting Oil”, was a quite unknown substance promoted by Mr. Theodorre

blasting oil for spirits, the inquiry focused on the nature of the substance to
suddenly explode, the implications for ships unwittingly importing such
substances and recommended reasonable distances that commercial premises should be
from dwellings to safely continue storing the oil in the city or suburbs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Lands Building is one of the most significant public buildings in Sydney as it was established during Australia’s colonial history and has been used continuously as the administrative centre for land use records and planning Sydney’s growth since that time. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was designed by colonial architect James Barnet and built in stages between 1876 – 1892.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Schofields is named after a thief and convict, who came good,
bought land, supported eight children and a wife, went bankrupt, struck Californian
gold, survived a shipwreck and settled down to run a saw mill along the railway
line.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But things are set to change. The railway line (built in the 1860’s) has
been upgraded and a new station has been built 800 metres south of
the original centre. Master plans are being drawn
up to convert the former pastoral lands into a new town centre that will accommodate
some 9,000 people. It will support not one, but all two major
supermarket chains, well positioned to stare each other down from across the
station.</span></div>

Tamarama swimmers and kinky, Surry Hills laneway markets now, can it? It’s places like Schofields where Sydney’s
increasing population will be living. It’s
an example of modern urban design in Sydney’s north west. So how are we going?</span></div>
