10297 of 2009 Little Bay South Pty Limited v Randwick City Council

JUDGMENT Introduction 1 In response to the arrival of smallpox in Sydney in 1881, the government of the day set up a temporary "sanitary camp" or quarantine station on a coastal bushland site at Little Bay on the La Perouse Peninsula. The camp was officially commissioned as a hospital in December of that year and was known as "the Coast Hospital". In 1934 it became the Prince Henry Hospital of Sydney.
