This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust, established in 2001 to protect nationally significant sites on Sydney Harbour. To celebrate this milestone, we are proud to share a series of videos telling the Harbour Trust’s story from the perspective of our community.
Filmed remotely during the 2021 lockdown, the series will introduce you to the passionate individuals who laid the Harbour Trust’s foundations and contributed to its growth and direction - all in defence of the world’s best harbour.
In this video, Colonel John Platt (Retd), CSC discusses his history with the Royal Australian Army’s School of Artillery at North Head, where he arrived as a junior officer in 1974 before rising to the rank of Commanding Officer in the mid-90s. He notes that being the final Commanding Officer of the School of Artillery at North Head (it was relocated to Puckapunyal, Victoria in 1998) was a ‘great honour’, due in part to its coastal parkland setting. Finally, he emphasises the importance of the Harbour Trust’s ongoing efforts to not only preserve the environmental qualities, First Nations heritage and military history of its protected sites but to also ensure the community’s connection to these sites endures.
