: Lindfield

Suburb: Lindfield
Population:
Municipality:

Lindfield was originally the traditional land of the Kuringgai (also spelt Guringai) people. It is located on the north shore, 13 kilometres from central Sydney. The name for the railway station and suburb was taken from Lindfield, meaning a clearing in the lime forest, the name of the cottage built by early resident, Francis John List, in 1884 and later moved to Narrabeen. It is assumed that the house was named after the town of Lindfield in Sussex, England. Lindfield has an area of 517 hectares.

Early development
Apart from the early explorers, the first Europeans to arrive in the district were timber-getters. A government convict timber-getting camp was set up about 1810 and known as the Lane Cove Sawing Establishment.

Fiddens Wharf Road led from the sawing establishment and was heavily used by the timber-getters. The timber was transported by jinkers to the Lane Cove River and floated down to Sydney to be used in the rapidly expanding city.

The first land grant was in 1815 with most of the settlement near the Lane Cove River as this was the main transport artery. Once the valuable timber was removed, orchardists and farmers were more readily able to cultivate the land. While landowners still harvested the timber, from the 1840s fruit growing and farming gradually became the primary industries.

Roads and railway
During the second half of the nineteenth century the highway emerged as the major transportation route, with a subsequent increase in settlement. With improvements in roads and the coming of the railway in 1890, fruit growers diversified their plantings, as it became possible to take soft fruit to market.

Along the railway line, land began to increase in value as suburbanisation commenced. Business and professional people moved to the area, which was advertised as offering a healthy lifestyle for their families away from the pollution of the city but with easy rail access to the city.
Situated on Lane Cove Road, now the Pacific Highway, Lindfield, Tom Coleman’s dairy supplied milk for many of the new residents in Roseville, Lindfield and Killara. As many residents kept one or two cows for milk the local police had to deal with the problem of cattle straying from homes and dairies. The Lindfield branch of the Ku-ring-gai Municipal Library now occupies the site of Coleman’s dairy.

Ethel Turner, the author of the Australian classic Seven Little Australians, started her novel in 1893 when she lived in Lindfield at the family home, Inglewood, now called Woodlands.[3]

East Lindfield
East Lindfield is an established residential area with areas of bushland located around the waterways including Gordon Creek in the north, Middle Harbour in the east, and Moore’s Creek Reserve. Other significant park areas are Garigal National Park, Lindfield Soldiers Memorial Park and East Lindfield Park.

Swain Gardens in Lindfield is a shady landscaped garden of camellias, magnolias, Japanese maples and rhododendrons. Council now administers the gardens.

Postwar development
Lindfield’s shopping centre developed between the wars with a second block of shops along Lindfield Avenue. Significant growth occurred in the postwar years and more recently many units have been built along the Pacific Highway and Lindfield Avenue. Lindfield experienced a small increase in population between 1996 and 2001, a result of new dwellings built in the area.
More significant changes in Lindfield are likely. In 2006 Ku-ring-gai Council prepared plans in response to a direction from the Minister for Planning to provide denser housing in and around key commercial centres and to help increase retail and commercial development to cater for the needs of the local community.
