Kurnell

Residential and industrial developments were established in the Kurnell peninsula in an
additive manner through the mid 1900s, facilitated by the opening of lord Cook
Drive, which was constructed in parallel with the Refinery.
The relative closeness of some move of the Kurnell Village to the Refinery reflects
common practice at that time to regain housing so as to provide ready accession to places

In the 1950s, terra firma use safety concepts were not substantially understood and development
planning and approvals did not always take land use safety conflicts into consideration.
This situation was not unique to the Kurnell Peninsula, however applied in a number of

Botany/Randwick region in Sydney and Newcastle/Kooragang Island are typical
examples.
Most residential development is on the eastern side of the Peninsula between Quibray
embayment and Botany Bay and extends to the boundary of the industrial zone, including a
number of residential lots on Cook Street and Reserve Road that are in close
proximity to the oil Refinery.
Industrial activities in the Peninsula include the Caltex Refinery, a brick plant, a carbon
black plant and a large hydrocarbon fund and processing plant.



A jetty and
moorings, used for the transfer of unprocessed oil and refined products to and from ships, are
associated with the oil Refinery. There are too a number of light industrial operations
such as a boat builder, small factories and a sewerage give-and-take plant.
In addition to these industrial operations, there is a smooth mining operation south of
Quibray Bay and small oyster farm leases in Woolooware Bay and Quibray Bay.
A number of other industrial operations that existed on the Peninsula in the 1970s and
eighties have been closed and several blocks of land zoned industrial last out vacant.
The only land access to the Peninsula is via Captain Cook Drive, a road with only one
