Fort Denison Stonework Conservation Backgound and Significance Fort Denison is of national and international significance as an exceptionally fine and intact example of a nineteenth century defence fortification that is unique within Australia. The Fort is the only island site entirely covered with a fortification within Australia and retains the integrity of its completed 1862 form. As well as being one of the primary defences on Sydney Harbour, Fort Denison has provided an ancillary service of continously measuring meteorological data about tidal patterns since the early 1900’s. Conservation Work Undertaken to Date A three year program of ‘catch-up’ stonework conservation commenced in 2007 with partnership funding between the Centenerary Stonework Program and DECC. Year 1 of the works included repairs to the slipway, external repairs to the West Room and repointing to external areas to prevent water ingress. Scope of Works Proposed for 2008-2009 Year 2 of the programmed works will include external repairs to the Tide Gauge Room, completion of the works to the Slipway, chimney repairs, paint and metals strategies as well as site drainage improvements.
