Reg Bartley

Reginald James Bartley (3 February 1899 – 16 January 1982)[1] was a businessman, company director[2] and Lord Mayor of Sydney.

A Civic Reform Association member, Bartley was attacked by a member of the Communist Party of Australia over a proposal to demolish "Maramonah", a mansion in central Sydney, inhabited by 600 squatters, in order to lay out a park.

Bartley's plan was eventually taken up, and the site of the mansion is Fitzroy Gardens in King's Cross.

[2] In March 1946 Bartley was instrumental in moving to demolish the Sydney Mint and the Hyde Park Barracks, stating that they should "make way for modern structures".
