ThePhillip Street Terraces are heritage-listedterrace houses and now mixed commercial buildings, offices and restaurant located at 39-47Phillip Street in theSydney central business district, in theCity of Sydney local government area ofNew South Wales, Australia. The property is owned by the trustees of theNew South Wales Government-owned superannuation fund. It was added to theNew South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[1]
The Heritage Council Restoration Steering (HC RS) Committee considered the prospect of letting the buildings on the basis of a combined residential/commercial use for a suitable lease period, with the cost of restoration work to be borne by the tenants.[1]
In response to a press advertisement the HC RS Committee received 67 expressions of interest in restoring and leasing the terraces, covering a wide variety of uses. Legal action was taken to evict squatters in the buildings. A security fence was erected at the rear of the buildings but a detailed estimate of minor repairs needed could not be made due to difficulties in gaining access due to the squatters.[2][1]
The Phillip Street Terraces was listed on theNew South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[1]
