Drummoyne Reservoir, Heritage water reservoir in Drummoyne, Australia.
The Drummoyne Reservoir features a seven-story concrete tower on its southern side and includes a large tank with a colonnaded tank stand in classical style.
Engineer J. G. S. Purvis designed this elevated service reservoir for the Metropolitan Board of Water Supply and Sewerage, which operated from 1913 until its disconnection in 1994.
The structure represents a significant shift in Australian water infrastructure, combining reinforced concrete and mild steel instead of traditional brick or timber construction methods.
Located 25 minutes from Sydney's central business district, the reservoir site spans 1800 square meters and requires heritage approval for any modifications or development plans.
The reservoir employed the Monier concrete reinforcement system, marking one of the earliest applications of this technology in New South Wales elevated service reservoirs.
