Piper Street Park

In the Piper Street Park in Annandale is the Whites Creek Aqueduct. Completed in 1897, the Whites Creek Sewage Aqueduct is a major and highly visible component of the Northern Main Sewer extension of the Bondi Ocean Outfall Sewer. The arches and carrier of the aqueduct are one of the first major constructions undertaken using reinforced concrete in NSW and one of the first in Australia and the slender proportions of the supporting arches and sewage carrier make it not only functional, but also a major landmark for Sydney. The aqueduct is also a major element of the historic built environment of the local area, and a long held part of the recreational reserve.
