Our Advocacy

Parramatta Female Factory – Composite from the 1820s and the 1830s plans

What we are doing

The Parramatta Female Factory Site includes the Convict Female Factory site footprint which is the 1818 Governor Macquarie site, the 1820s Governor Brisbane third class additions and the Governor Gipps courtyard and cells additions. This site needs to be preserved intact in its entirety, just as it is with Port Arthur and Hyde Park Barracks.

World Heritage Status

Our advocacy is to protect, preserve, conserve, interpret historically and make accessible the Parramatta Female Factory Site to all Australians present and future, the site needs to be National Heritage Status and World Heritage Site Status.

Future Use

Our vision for the Parramatta Female Factory Future is reuse as a World Heritage Site – national resource and learning centre, research, education, museum, leisure and tourism activities focused on the Female Factory period.

The Parramatta Female Factory belongs to all Australians.
