Rum Store

About the Rum Store

The Rum Store building was originally constructed in about 1879. It was an important part of CSR’s operations, but it seems it was never actually used to store rum. In more recent times it was used as offices for CSR engineers and also housed a cafeteria, library and concert hall for CSR workers. Photos of these facilities are displayed inside the building today. The building was restored in 2000 and converted to 13 apartment units, retaining the original hardwood beams, cast iron columns and windows, and sandstone windowsills.

Information on the history of the site is available here JLHistory-RumStore. More information on the history of Pyrmont is available here https://pyrmonthistory.net.au/.

Strata-Specific Questions

Visitors Parking

There are 12 visitor parking spaces available to be shared between the Elizabeth and the Rum Store. Two visitor parking spaces are inside the boom gates. Visitor parking must be shared equitably and not monopolised by residents or long term guests.

As an alternative, you can obtain Visitor Parking Permit vouchers from Sydney City Council for street parking.

Resident Parking

Residents are reminded that vehicles should be properly parked within the allotted parking spot(s) and the vehicle should not protrude beyond the markings on the floor. If you are not using your car space, it can be leased to another resident of the Elizabeth or the Rum Store, but not to anyone else. If there are additional residents within the apartment beyond the number of allocated parking spots, you can apply to Sydney City Council for a Resident Parking Permit.

Garbage Collection

Bins for general waste and recycling are located in the garbage room opposite the front entrance.

Architectural Standards

These Standards must be read in conjunction with the Architectural Standards for the Community Association.  This document can be found here.

Light Fittings: The light fittings on external balconies cannot be replaced.

Window Treatment: Silver curtain lining or Western Red Cedar blinds are permitted.
