Rozelle Tram Depot

[1][2][3] Access to the depot was controlled by a signal box situated near the staff waiting room which also served as a changeover point for drivers.

Constructed in stages from 1904 the depot was a 25 road car shed accommodating 96 carriages, this was gradually increased to 125 by 1907.

[2] The depot at one stage contained six historic Sydney trams, some of which date back to the 1930s, as well as a Leyland Royal Tiger Worldmaster bus that has been heavily vandalised.

[10][11] In 1995 and 1996, the adjacent Harold Park Paceway was reconstructed and expanded over Johnstons Creek and the original tram depot access road.

Summary phases of the former Rozelle Tram Depot site until the 2000s: A development proposal submitted in 2005 that included multi-storey apartments, underground car parking and commercial offices ran into opposition from residents.

[9] On 10 December 2010 it was announced the entire Harold Park Paceway site had been purchased by Mirvac to be redeveloped for medium-density housing.
