History

A bird's-eye view of Dacey Garden Suburb (1918)

Daceyville was named after John Rowland Dacey (1854–1912),[2] a state parliamentarian for the area from 1895 to 1912, who urged the creation of a garden suburb modelled on the garden suburb of Letchworth in London, England. The plan was executed after his death with a plan to provide low-cost housing for working-class people in Australia's first garden city. Sir John Sulman (1849–1934) planned the estate on crown land that had been reserved as a water conservation site.[3] Daceyville was listed on the Register of the National Estate in 1991.[4]

Trams

The former Dacyville tram line opened in 1913 with services from Circular Quay via Waterloo. The line branched from the Botany Road line at Gardners Road, and passed east along Gardners Road to join the lines at Anzac Pde at what was known as Daceyville Junction. It included a large collection of sidings at the former Rosebery Racecourse, now the site of The Lakes Golf Course. Some services were extended to Maroubra Beach via the Anzac Parade lines. The line closed in 1957.

Educational facilities

Daceyville Public School is situated on a five-acre site between Bunnerong Road and Banks Avenue. Application was originally made for a public school in the area in 1913, but only an infants school was initially approved. This opened at Astrolabe Road in 1914. It became a primary school in 1917.

As the suburb grew, the school became inadequate and a new site of five acres was obtained from the Housing Board, at the present site. A new building was constructed in 1921, but the new school rapidly outgrew its new premises, leading to further extensions that were completed in 1925.[5]
