Abstract

A total of seven 9.2 inch Coastal Artillery Batteries were installed for port defence around the Australian coastline. The Oliver Hill Battery on Rottnest Island 19km west of the Port of Fremantle is the only remaining one in Australia with possibly only two others worldwide. The Consultant carried out a Heritage Assessment on behalf of the Rottnest Island Authority and prepared a Conservation Plan.
