Dunlop Reserve (RESERVE), NSW Details
History
The name is seen as a link to the industrial and heritage background of the site especially as Dunlop Avenue has been closed and added to the development. (Drummoyne Council letter dated 28 April 1998)
Description
A reserve on Birkenhead Point at Drummoyne with access to Thornley Street. On the east and south east it is bounded by Iron Cove. On the other sides it is bounded by commercial and residential development. At the time of the naming proposal the reserve had not been dedicated so the new DP number was not available. The area had been covered by Lot 1 of DP 615713 and Lot 11 of DP 615713. It will become Lot 102 in the new plan of subdivision.
Origin
The land was first used for the manufacture of rubber goods from approximately 1885 by the Perdriau Rubber Company. In 1928 this company amalgamated with the Dunlop Rubber Company and the factory continued operating on the site until the early 1970s. (Drummoyne Council facsimile dated 16 June 1998)
