• Scope and Content
  In 1992, former professional photographer Allan Hedges took aerial photographs of the ADI site at St Marys before development . Delfin Lend Lease now (2009) plans to build 5000 houses, extensive commercial and retail centres, and construct a 900 hectare regional park in a contentious $2 billion project. Australian Defence Industries Ltd (ADI) a former Commonwealth Government operation used this area as a munitions factory from 1989 to 1993. The ADI site and the area now known as the Dunheved Industrial Estate were resumed from private ownership for the war effort in the 1940s and was known as the St Marys Munitions Filling Factory, until the name change to the ADI site in 1989. The munitions factory employed hundreds of local workers right up until it closed in 1994. The Federal Government sold the ADI Site to Lend Lease, Australia's largest property developer, in 2004 for around $105 million.
