Folder Eveleigh's Tourism Potential by REDWatch, last updated: Oct 30, 2008 10:13 PM
With its mixture of active heritage in the Blacksmith Shop and the Large ant the retention of many of the former railway buildings and associated manufacturing equipment Eveleigh has great potential as a rail heritage tourism destination. The RWA's Heritage Interpretation Strategy envisages "Use of the Heritage Walk Bridge, the Baggage Carriage and Coffee shop as part of an organised Heritage Walk through the North Eveleigh and ATP sites. This will use audio discs available for hire as well as tours organized by volunteer guides". Here you can find information about Eveleigh's tourism potential.

As has been shown by the attendance at the Open Day to save the Operational Heritage Blacksmith in the Australian Technology Park, there is substantial interest in this site which preserves former Eveleigh rail yard equipment and operational skills. Having fought to preserve an operating Blacksmith the challenge is to turn this area into an important attraction within Eveleigh. You can read more about the Blacksmith and the Campaign to save this operation here on the ATP part of the website.

Under the RWA proposed zoning the Large Erecting Shop could be replaced by an up to 12 storey building and the ongoing heritage rail tours, maintenance and training could have been lost. There has been a long campaign to save the this operational heritage and RailCorps decision to retain the building for heritage rail use has been welcomed. In the campaign to save the "Large" there have been proposals made to include a tourism element along side its heritage operations.
