Loyalty Square, Balmain Revitalisation

Inner West Council is developing a new plan for the revitalisation of Loyalty Square in Balmain. Loyalty Square is the place where we commemorate our fallen soldiers each ANZAC Day, as well as the site of the first War Memorial in Australia to be built with funds raised by the community.

The Square is at the heart of historic Balmain and needs to be improved as a space that the whole community can enjoy.

What is this project about?

Council’s Main Streets Revitalisation Program aims to improve the vibrancy and safety of public spaces and local streets by enhancing their character and making them more inviting.

Re-imagining the use of public spaces and regenerating them can drive economic growth and local spend by creating places that people want to visit and stay, rather than just areas to move through.

As a part of the Main Streets Revitalisation Program, Council has developed concept plans for improving Loyalty Square in Balmain.

These proposed plans include an additional wall or structure at Loyalty Square to recognise Balmain service personnel who died during World War I and who are not listed on the existing 1916 War Memorial. The existing Balmain Memorial Wall will be retained.

Funding will be available in 2026 to deliver these improvements to Loyalty Square.

Now, Council wants to hear your thoughts on the proposed improvements to Loyalty Square.

Where is the project?

The project is located at the Corner of Darling Street and Beattie Street, Balmain.

Loyalty Square is a popular meeting space for the community, as well as the location of a heritage significant ANZAC war memorial.

What is being proposed?

The proposed improvements include:

  • A new memorial wall to commemorate 195 local fallen soldiers who died in WW1 after the Memorial was opened
  • Removal of the bollards and chains around the existing war memorial
  • Relocation of the existing memorial plaques to under the fig tree in Loyalty Square
  • Removal of the pergola and wisteria vine
  • New lighting around the square to improve safety at night
  • Landscaping improvements including the renewal of gardens around the square

List of Fallen Soldiers - Background and Research

Sydney Secondary College (SSC) students undertook a research project on behalf of the Balmain-Rozelle RSL sub-Branch.. The former President of the sub-Branch, Ron Glew OAM initiated this project with the support of SSC parents and staff.

This project identified an additional 210 names of service personnel from the Balmain district (Balmain, East Balmain and Birchgrove) who fought and died in World War I.

Students sourced information from the AIF Project and UNSW-curated database systems of World War I AIF enlistments. The students’ research was passed on to the Balmain Association for validation and a copy was provided to the Libraries’ Community History Team at Inner West Council.

Further research was conducted, and the current listing recommends the number of names to be included stand at 195, after the exclusion of service personnel whose stated addresses were not in the target area.
