The demolition of the North Shore Gas Works at Neutral Bay

Formerly a gasworks, torpedo factory and submarine base, Sub Base Platypus is an emerging public domain on the foreshore of North Sydney, homeland of the Cammeraygal People. The Harbour Trust envisions Sub Base Platypus as community hub where historic spaces are revealed, reimagined and activated by a range of cultural, recreational and commercial uses.
