The largest single army construction project at Sydney in WWII was Fort Oxford, built in 1943 by E.G.M. Cape and Company of Montreal at a cost of $780,000. In 1947 and 1948, the army stripped the coastal fortifications and placed the equipment into immediate reserve at Fort Petrie and Killkenny Barracks where it could be properly preserved, ready for quick reinstallation should war again seem likely. At Oxford and Fort Lingan, only the main components of the heavy guns at were left in place under the charge of a few caretakers.
In 1953 or 1954 the stored equipment was removed, possibly shipped to NATO partners in Europe still conceivably at risk of naval assault on their shores.
