    The City of Sydney City Planning, Urban Design and Planning, CVUT. Seminar Work by Phoebe Ford. LOCATION The City of Sydney, by M.S. Hill, 1888. State Library of New South Wales. Regional Relations The New South Wales Government conceptualises Sydney as ‘a city of cities’ comprising: The Central Business District (CBD) which is within the City of Sydney Local Government Area (LGA), the topic of my presentation, and North Sydney, which make up ‘Global Sydney’, and the regional cities of Parramatta, Liverpool and Penrith. This planning concept applies the Marchetti principle which aims to create a fair and efficient city which offers jobs closer to homes, less travel time and less reliance on a single CBD to generate employment. The concept is that cities should be supported by major and specialized centres which concentrate housing, commercial activity and local services within a transport and economic network.

  • REDFERN PARK Tree Management Plan
    REDFERN PARK Tree Management Plan Final - Adopted 23 October 2006 REDFERN PARK DRAFT TREE MANAGEMENT PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Redfern Park Tree Management Plan (TMP) was prepared as part of a suite of Tree Management Plans for the City of Sydney’s parks. The TMP forms part of the Redfern Park Plan of Management and informs the Masterplan. A major focus of the TMP is to implement a program of tree removal and replacements that will reinforce the strategies recommended in the 2006 Masterplan. The Tree Management Plan includes a survey of all of the existing trees within the Park (124 trees) and contains relevant heritage, environmental and arboricultural data relating to individual trees as well as distinct groups of trees such as the street tree planting around Redfern Oval. A Safe Useful Life Expectancy (SULE) analysis of the tree population was prepared. From this assessment the following removal and replacement strategies were recommended: • Staged removal and replacement of the boundary planting of Fig trees surrounding Redfern Park, over the next twenty years; • Twenty seven (27) trees to be removed within the Park over the next fi ve (5) years; • Eleven (11) of these trees to be removed from within the Park during the Redfern Oval upgrade; • Paperbarks in Elizabeth Street to be retained until a row of advanced Fig trees are planted within the boundary of Redfern Oval; • Removal of the street trees in Chalmers Street during the Redfern Oval upgrade; and • Removal of selected trees on Phillip Street during the Redfern Oval upgrade; The Tree Management Plan recommends a series of improved techniques to ensure best practice tree monitoring and arboricultural maintenance.

  • History on a Bus
    History on a Bus USING SOCIODRAMA TO ADDRESS RACISM AND RECONCILIATION HELEN KEARINS ABSTRACT In Sydney’s Redfern Park on the 10th of December 1992, the launch of the International Year of Indigenous People, the then Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating delivered a ground breaking speech that gave great hope to people working for reconciliation with Aboriginal Australians. One of those inspired to continue this work, Helen Kearins developed a workshop that assists participants to own racism and move beyond it towards genuine reconciliation with Aboriginal people. In this article, adapted from her 2011 AANZPA Accreditation thesis, she demonstrates the efficacy of sociodrama in this work. KEY WORDS Aboriginal Australians, racism, reconciliation, sociodrama, warm up, White Australians Setting the Scene On my way to or from work in Sydney, I often drive past Redfern Park. Many Australians associate the suburb of Redfern with a stereotype of Aboriginal poverty and dysfunction. Apart from the fact that the stereotype is grossly inaccurate, I have a very different association with Redfern Park. It was here on the 10th December 1992 that Prime Minister Paul Keating gave a speech, often referred to now as the Redfern Park Speech, to launch the 1993 International Year of the World’s Indigenous People. I was there. The speech was significant because it was the first time that an Australian prime minister had acknowledged that, “...the problem starts with us non-Aboriginal Australians”. He went on to say, “It begins I think with an act of recognition” and to name the elements in need of recognition. He emphasised the opportunity provided by this international year to address the injustices suffered by indigenous Australians and to continue working towards reconciliation.

PDCN would like to thank the City of Sydney for the opportunity to make comment on the Draft Public Toilet Strategy 2013, and would like to support its recognition in the provision of universal access to public toilets, and commend its integration universal access and disability into the strategic plan.
