This includes:[1] The vent shaft is presently sited as a prominent element surrounded by open landscape adjacent the escarpment and as part of what is now Bondi Golf Course.

The pedestal is rusticated and splayed up to a base which is part fluted where it meets the shaft and smooth rendered up to the remaining section of capital.

Immediately to the south of the base is a series of concrete access lids to the chamber below with three steel vents and cowls probably dating from the mid to late 20th century.

A painted brick access structure is located to the south east of the shaft, which has a flat concrete lid and would date from the mid to late 20th century.

A chain wire mesh fence surrounds the base of the vent shaft which dates from the late 20th century.

[1] The inscription on the southern face of the pedestal reads "Metropolitan Board of Water Supply and Sewerage erected 1910".

[1] In terms of integrity the vent shaft and pedestal would be reasonably intact although it has a number of later appendages and missing its original capital.

The visual curtilage extends from the western topographical ridge top to the ocean on the north and south of the vent shaft.

[1] The Bondi Sewer Vent was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 15 November 2002 having satisfied the following criteria.

[1] The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.

The vent stack demonstrates the early advances in the use of reinforced concrete, particularly in regard to sewer and structural engineering.
