A museum of Sydney Harbour is set to be built on the lower north shore after North Sydney Council voted to lobby the state government to hand over harbourside land when the Western Harbour Tunnel is completed.
The concept plan for the Berrys Bay site envisages a museum, berths for historic vessels, restoration of Woodley Shed for use as a workshop and boatshed, as well as a launch area for canoes, kayaks and small vessels and a ferry wharf.
Berrys Bay would also become the new home of the Sydney Heritage Fleet after the cancellation of a plan to house its collection of maritime heritage vessels around the Australian National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour.
