Waverley Reservoirs, Heritage-listed water reservoirs in Bondi Junction, Australia
The Waverley complex includes four concrete reservoirs, with the first circular structure featuring brick elements and a grassed-over roof at Paul Street.
Built in 1887, Waverley Reservoir No.1 marked the final addition to the Botany Swamps Scheme, later receiving water from the Upper Nepean through the Hudson Scheme.
The name Waverley originates from Barnett Levey, Australia's first free male Jewish settler, who named his property after Sir Walter Scott's literary work.
The reservoir system supplies water to Eastern Suburbs through gravity and connects to Bellevue Hill via a dedicated pumping station.
The circular concrete structure earned the name Stonehenge due to its cast iron ventilation caps arranged in a line across the reservoir's roof diameter.
