Double Bay Compressed Air Ejector Station

The Double Bay Compressed Air Ejector Station features steel caisson technology for collecting and processing sewage through a system of valves and pressurized chambers.

Constructed between 1895 and 1896, this facility became the first low-level sewage pumping station in Sydney, addressing the growing pollution concerns in Sydney Harbour.

The station stands as a testament to late 19th-century engineering solutions that transformed public health practices in New South Wales urban development.

Located in Jamberoo Lane, adjacent to 63 William Street, the station remains accessible for researchers studying historical infrastructure development.

Components manufactured by Pope Maher and Co Sydney and Shone and Aults Patent demonstrate the technical sophistication of Victorian-era sewage management systems.
