Abstract

This report is a Conservation Management Plan (CMP) for Hyde Park Barracks, Queen’s Square, Macquarie Street, Sydney. Hyde Park Barracks (HPB) is widely recognised for its cultural significance. In 2010 it was one of 11 “Australian Convict Sites” inscribed on the World Heritage List of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The place is also listed on the National Heritage List, the NSW State Heritage Register and on the City of Sydney Council’s Local Environmental Plan. Hyde Park Barracks is managed as a museum by Sydney Living Museums (SLM), a statutory authority of the NSW Government operating under the Historic Houses Act 1980. Sydney Living Museums (SLM) has received Federal Government grant funding through the Protecting National Historic Sites Programme (PNHS) to facilitate revised interpretation and updated conservation management planning at the Hyde Park Barracks Museum.
