  • Introduction
    Introduction In January 1997, two Sydney Morning Herald journalists produced a brief account of what they perceived to be the most important rock and roll sites in Sydney.1 Their sense of the city's rock histories extended to places of local mythology well beyond popular music's production and consumption: five star hotels as frantic sites of adoration of the Beatles ensconced within; psychiatric hospitals where career paths merged with psychosis; and migrant hostels as sites of cross-cultural ambitions. The article was a rare acknowledgement of the spaces and places of performersand fans' interaction. This thesis constitutes an extended response to the article's implicit desire to recognise alternative accounts of Australian popular music connected to broader city narratives. In analysing the rock music venues of Sydney as sites of interaction between musicians, fans and government, I am principally concerned with three interrelated themes: • The social construction of live performance venues from 1955 amidst the parallel construction of the performer and fan as an 'unruly' subject; • The industrial development of live performance: the live rock venue within commercial/economic structures; and • The dialectical tension of the above in reconciling the state's desire for manageable 'cultural citizens' with broader cultural policy (support for live rock and roll within arts policies). A more detailed explication of these strands is undertaken in Chapter One, in providing a theoretical overview of relations between popular culture and the state, and specific media/cultural/popular music studies approaches to cultural practice and policy. My personal interest in the histories of live rock venues parallels an increased 1 Jon Casimir and Bruce Elder, 'Beat streets - a guide to Sydney's rock and roll history', Sydney Morning Herald, 9th January, 1997, pp.29-30.

At the Summit we prosperity and liveability. The considered new research that highlighted the urgent need for action on climate change and the sheer scale of City defines Sustainability in the challenge we all face, especially city leaders. What is clear is that the next four years are crucial and keeping with the Brundtland will determine whether the world meets the ambition of Report1 of 1987 as meeting the the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature rise to less than 2oC, and to drive efforts to limit the temperature environmental, social and increase even further to 1.5oC. Incremental steps are no longer adequate – we need to dramatically increase economic needs of the present action.

  • Cultural and Community Committee
    CULTURAL SUB-COMMITTEE 16 JUNE 2014 ITEM 4. EXPRESSION OF INTEREST – POTENTIAL FUTURE USE OF STAPLETON HALL AT PADDINGTON TOWN HALL FILE NO: S096423 SUMMARY The draft Creative City Cultural Policy, endorsed for public exhibition by Council on 12 May 2014, expresses the City’s commitment to supporting the cultural and creative life of Sydney. This Policy recommends the City use its powers, services and programs to support a creatively vibrant, distinctive and memorable city that celebrates artists and creativity in all its forms. On 18 November 2013, Council unanimously endorsed the public exhibition of the City of Sydney Live Music and Live Performance Taskforce’s Action Plan, Live Music Matters: Planning for Live Music and Performance in Sydney. On 9 December 2013, Council resolved that the Chief Executive Officer immediately progress with several projects recommended within the Taskforce’s draft Action Plan. One of these projects was to audit City of Sydney indoor and outdoor sites, including Paddington Town Hall, identifying capital infrastructure works (including sound attenuation and purchase of pianos) and changes to current approvals and management plans (including development approvals, hiring policies, insurances, prices and liquor licensing options) required to ensure their suitability as performance spaces. The City of Sydney Live Music and Performance Action Plan, which was subsequently adopted by Council on 7 April 2014, also included an action to optimise City-owned indoor and outdoor facilities for use as live music and performance venues. The City has been approached by a commercial theatre producer who wishes to investigate leasing the main auditorium of Paddington Town Hall (Stapleton Hall) and associated areas within the building for an extended season of a new musical theatre work.

  • Questions on Notice with Answers
    Council 19 August 2019 Item 10 Questions on Notice with Answers Use of Pale Pavement in the City of Sydney 1. By Councillor Scott Question In 2014, the City of Sydney trialled a lighter coloured road surface in Myrtle Street, Chippendale to test its effectiveness in reducing the effects of the urban heat island effect. The trial concluded that (partly as a result of maintenance costs) installing additional street greenery and trees is a more effective mechanism for reducing the effects of the urban heat island. Further, urban greening has co-benefits regarding amenity and biodiversity. In the five years since, further trials and studies conducted have demonstrated the benefits of lighter coloured road surfaces. These include but are not limited to: (a) Lighting research that has shown that a reduction in public lighting of more than 40 per cent is possible through the use of pale pavement. This can mean huge energy savings and associated reductions in C02 emissions. (b) The proliferation of new materials such as CoolSeal which has been successfully trialled in cities with environmental conditions comparable to Sydney's such as Los Angeles. (c) That existing research suggest the 'White Streets' strategy used in Los Angeles could lower surface temperatures by up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. 1. Did the City of Sydney consider the further findings, specifically those found in (a), as a potential benefit in their assessment of the Myrtle Street trial? 2. Has the City of Sydney considered a retrial of pale pavement, or of other light materials, in the period since? 3. Are there any plans to trial pale pavement, or any comparable materials, in the near future? S129275 Answer by the Chief Executive Officer The reduction in energy was considered as a possible benefit in the pale pavement trial.

    Festival Program Join the feast Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra: October 1–31 Melbourne: November 1–30 Good Food Month presented by Citi is coming! Stand by as our top chefs and finest producers prepare fabulous feasts across the country. With events including Hats Off Dinners, Let’s Do Lunch and Bar Hop, Good Food Month is your chance to celebrate Australia’s freshest flavours. goodfoodmonth.com PRESENTED BY GFM_national_brand_artandabout.indd 1 5/08/13 1:51 PM — Welcome The Australian way of doing things has always been about the private life – the quarter-acre block in the suburbs, Sunday afternoon around the barbecue. But it was the public life that drew me to the city – Greek families stopping on their front steps and chatting with neighbours, people out at the park with their dogs, friends meeting for coffee. Now everyone is doing it, heading off to gigs, rolling by on their bikes, pushing prams, snapping photos or just enjoying being outside. This spring, Art & About Sydney celebrates private lives and public places. There’s dance in children’s playgrounds, giant colourful snails in unexpected places, an installation of mirrors revealing Hyde Park in new ways, and even an airing of our dirty laundry in bus stops and shelters. Sydney Life is back, with emerging and established photographers capturing our city in surprising ways, and Little Sydney Lives reveals Sydney from the perspective of some of our youngest artists. Earlier this year, Sydney residents, workers and visitors had their say on how to encourage culture and creativity in Sydney. The ideas ranged from encouraging more live music on the streets with pop-up gigs for up-and-coming musicians, to opening up affordable spaces for artists to create and present their work.
