Where thought bubbles go to die : White Bay s long history of failed ideas

Advertisement The argument over what should become of the old White Bay power station and adjoining land in Rozelle has been raging for 40 years, with more than a dozen proposals from casino to naval base.

The White Bay power station lies defunct in 2020. Credit:Dominic Lorrimer The defunct coal-fired power station, built before and during World War I, looked set for demolition after it closed in 1984. But instead it survived long enough to be appreciated for its historical and cultural value, and was listed on the heritage register in 1999.
