Builder Tennyson Point, Ryde
Tennyson Point is the small peninsular suburb on the Parramatta River — Federation cottages, inter-war heritage and contemporary river-fall on 600–900m² blocks. Substantial fall to the river drives suspended slab engineering. Heritage Conservation Areas in pockets. Wianamatta Shale soil with sandstone outcrops on the river-fall edge. Foreshore Building Line restrictions.
