Waverley at Federation

DESCRIPTION

Variant titleA Waverley Library Local History FactsheetAuthor/CreatorWaverley LibraryContentsWaverley's early days were full of challenges, both economic and municipal. Established in 1859, Waverley's early council meetings were scattered, held in places like the Charing Cross Hotel. In 1913 a new Council Chambers was built, addressing the inadequacies of the 1861 building. Economic challenges in the 1890s prompted strict budgeting, with Mayor H.C. Evans requesting a rate increase for essential services. The council also embraced technology, hiring a typist in 1903. Meanwhile, Bondi's growth as a residential area was fueled by a tram service, attracting both residents and visitors. Tamarama boasted an amusement park with performances and concerts.TypeFactsheetCollectionLocal History Factsheets
