History

[edit]

West Botany

[edit]

The City of Rockdale was originally proclaimed as the "Municipal District of West Botany" on 13 January 1871 and covered 23 square kilometres (9 mi2) with twoWards, West Botany Ward and Arncliffe Ward.[3] The proclamation followed a petition signed by 85 residents calling for incorporation that was published in theGovernment Gazette on 22 August 1870.[4] The first election was held on 8 February 1871 at theTempe Family Hotel on Rocky Point Road.[5] The mayor of Marrickville,Charles St Julian, was appointed Returning Officer for the first election of six aldermen and two auditors, which was declared on 14 February 1871:[6]

The first Rockdale Town Hall (1888) on the corner of Rocky Point Road and Bryant Street, Rockdale, c. 1890, was demolished in 1940 to make way for the new Town Hall.

On 28 February 1871, Frederick Keene was appointed the first Clerk.[8] Thomas Willmot was appointed Clerk on 13 August 1872.[9] Thomas Leeder was appointed Clerk on 7 August 1877.[10] Percival Somerville was appointed Clerk on 23 March 1905.[11][12] On 17 December 1886, West Botany Ward was split in two, adding Rockdale Ward and Scarborough Ward and bringing the number of Aldermen from six to nine.[13] Among the main developers during this period wasFrederick Jamison Gibbes, a member of parliament whose name is perpetuated by Gibbes Street inBanksia.[14][15] From 1872, Council met in the first Council Chambers, a small purpose-built stone building on the western side of Rocky Point Road, Arncliffe built by Christopher Bush of St Peters. It continued in use until 11 December 1888, when a newTown Hall was opened by the mayor, William George Judd, on the corner of Rocky Point Road and Bryant Street, Rockdale.[16] The old Council Chambers building was eventually sold in 1904.[17]

Rockdale Municipality

[edit]
The second Rockdale Town Hall (1940), built on the site of the first Town Hall, on 2 June 1953 during celebrations for theCoronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

The name"Rockdale" for the West Botany area was first suggested in 1878, and that name gained more credence whenthe local railway station on the new Illawarra rail line, opened on 15 October 1884, was also given the name Rockdale.[18][19] However, by the time the neighbouring Boroughs ofBotany andNorth Botany (Mascot from 1911) were proclaimed on 29 March 1888, it was clear that a name change was desirable. On 17 May 1888 theParliament of New South Wales passed theRockdale Municipality Naming Act (No.33, 1888), and West Botany became the "Municipal District of Rockdale".[20] On 31 December 1900, a fourth ward was added, Hopetoun Ward, named after the soon-to-befirstGovernor-General of Australia, bringing the number of aldermen to twelve.[21] The 1887 Town Hall was replaced by the current Rockdale Town Hall in 1940, and was designed by Rockdale architectDouglas Gardiner.[22]

The area of the municipality was reduced when the mouth ofCooks River was moved further south of its original position in the mid-1940s, to allow for the extension ofSydney Airport at Mascot. Under theLocal Government (Areas) Act 1948, theMunicipality of Bexley, which was located immediately to the West and had separated fromHurstville in 1900, became the First Ward of Rockdale Municipality.[23] Rockdale was declared a city in 1995 as the "City of Rockdale".[18][24]

2002 corruption inquiry

[edit]

During 2002, two elected officials of Rockdale City Council were at the centre of anIndependent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) inquiry. The inquiry revealed that the deputy mayor, Adam McCormick (Labor) and Councillor Andrew Smyrnis (Liberal) engaged in corrupt conduct with two property developers Con Chartofillis and Terry Andriotakis via two intermediaries, Manuel Limberis and Tony Retsos. The ICAC recommended to the New South Wales Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) that charges be laid against all six individuals under theCrimes Act 1900 (NSW) and theICAC Act 1998 (NSW)s 87.[25][26] Both councillors resigned from council and a by-election was held on 31 August 2002 to replace the two disgraced councillors.

Following consideration of the briefs and evidence involved, the DPP commenced action. It was successful in recording convictions, and the known determinations made by the Courts are as follows:

  • Smyrnis was sentenced to two yearsperiodic detention.[27][28]
  • Retsos was fined $80,000 and sentenced to three years periodic detention.[29]
  • McCormick, protested his innocence; with Smyrnis agreeing to testify against him.[27] McCormick was sentenced to a maximum of five years in custody for receiving $70,000 in bribes in return for delivering Labor Party support for a development application and for lying to the inquiry.[30][31]

Amalgamation

[edit]

A2015 review of local government boundaries by theNSW GovernmentIndependent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal recommended that theCity of Botany Bay merge with the City of Rockdale to form a new council with an area of 50 square kilometres (19 sq mi) and support a population of approximately 153,000.[32] In response to the merger proposal, Rockdale Council indicated their preference to merge with theCity of Kogarah and theCity of Hurstville, forming a single "St George Council".[33][34]

With the proclamation of the majority of council amalgamations on 12 May 2016, Botany Bay Council appealed the decision in theSupreme Court of New South Wales, thereby delaying the proposed amalgamation until a decision was made by the Court. The Supreme Court rejected the appeal in early September 2016, and the Minister for Local Government,Paul Toole, moved quickly to proclaim the formation of Bayside Council on 9 September 2016, with the general manager of Rockdale since 2011, Meredith Wallace, appointed as the new general manager of Bayside Council.[35][36][37][38] On 9 September 2017, the first council consisting of fifteen councillors across 5 wards was elected, and the former mayor of Rockdale, Bill Saravinovski, was elected as the first mayor on 27 September.[39]

Library

[edit]

Rockdale first tried to establish a library service in the late 1880s, with the council appointing the first Librarian, William Henry Hardwick, on 31 October 1890.[159] The Rockdale Free Library was officially opened in the Town Hall bySir Henry Parkes on 10 April 1893 with a modest collection of 200 books.[160] This library, however did not see much use and by 1900 the library's books were described that they would go mouldy but for the moving they get when the attendant dusts them." Rockdale Council therefore resolved to divest council of the library and move the collection to the Rockdale School of Arts.[161][162]

The new Rockdale Library (left) next to the Town Hall, opened in 2016.

Despite several attempts to recreate this library service, Rockdale Council did not devote any time to the project until 1954 when it decided to start a 'Mobile Library' service as a first act to gauge the level of public interest.[163][164]

Beginning in November 1955, the Rockdale mobile library, with five stops and 9,500 books, was funded through a special library levy on ratepayers of 25 pence in the pound. With more than 2500 borrowers registered in the first five weeks, the demand required council to increase the number of stops from five to eleven and employ two extra library staff. This demand continued to grow and Rockdale moved to re-establish a permanent library, opening the first Rockdale library in February 1958 with a stock of 8,002 books. Located behind the Town Hall, in September 1983 the library building was demolished to make way for the Rockdale Council Administration Centre and the Town Hall was refurbished for the Rockdale Central Library opened in September 1984.[165]

The Rockdale Central Library remained in the Town Hall in a northern wing dedicated for the purposed until this section was demolished to make way for a new library, designed by Brewster Hjorth Architects. The new Rockdale Library fronting the Princes Highway was officially opened on 30 July 2016 as the central library for the new Bayside Council.[166][167]

Coat of arms

[edit]
Coat of arms of City of Rockdale
Notes
The arms of the City of Rockdale were granted in 1971 by theCollege of Arms and designed byH. Ellis Tomlinson.[168]
Motto
"Crescit Eundo" (It thrives by progress)
Symbolism
The blue field and the gold wavy chief representBotany Bay and the beaches of the municipality. The inclusion of CaptainJames Cook, who arrived at Botany Bay in 1770, as a supporter, and his ship theHM Bark Endeavour in the compartment is also in reference to this. The other supporter depicts the localDarug Aborigines. TheBanksia flower was first seen here and named after SirJoseph Banks, the Cook expedition's botanist. The five banksia flowers represent the five wards of the municipality in 1969 and the torch in the crest was the original seal of Rockdale. The two blue wings with stars refer toKingsford Smith, Sydney's international airport. The compartment, with red sandstone 'rock' on a grassy 'dale' is a pun on the name of the City.
