Not only will you get access to more unexplored markets and communities, you’ll also get the overall “Australian metropolis” experience — a definite add-on! Rémi Dévé reports JUNE 2016 2 HEADQUARTERS Sydney is laying the foundations today for a smart future with the creation of industry-led knowledge hubs in key areas of state strenghts, such as financial services, digital/creative, energy and medical technology. he world of tomorrow will probably be a very different one to what we know today.

  • ICOMOS Heritage Alert Template
    ISC20C HERITAGE ALERT TEMPLATE ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on 20th Century Heritage dd DARLING HARBOUR – A Place for People 9 May 2013 (revision A) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sydney’s Darling Harbour Precinct, built for the 1988 Australian Bi-Centennial Celebration is currently under threat from a government plan to redevelop a large part of the area for commercial and residential development. The NSW Government Development Proposal SSD57521 for ‘Sydney International Convention, Exhibition & Entertainment Precinct’ (SICEEP) outlines the redevelopment of the convention centre, exhibition centre, entertainment facilities and associated public domain works. In addition the Sydney Entertainment Centre is to be demolished. The site slated for demolition and redevelopment has significant 20th century heritage values. It includes the Sydney Exhibition and Convention Centre complex and the waterfront public urban parkland known as Tumbalong Park incorporating an ‘Urban Stream’ and significant landscaping. The Waterfront Promenade incorporating a Spiral Water Feature and Chinese Garden of Friendship are being retained in the SICEEP scheme. Darling Harbour incorporates some statutory heritage items. They are the Pyrmont Bridge, Hydraulic Pumping Station No. 1, a Carousel and various listed archaeological areas including the Darling Harbour Rail Corridor. The Australian Bicentennial buildings are fine examples of Twentieth Century modern Australian architecture. Darling Harbour’s 56-hectare precinct2, managed until 2012 by the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority (SHFA) for the NSW Government agency, State Property, was one of the biggest urban redevelopments to be undertaken in Australia, heralding a new era for urban design of public landscape. The scale of the proposed ‘Sydney International Convention Centre, Exhibition & Entertainment Precinct’ redevelopment is much larger than the existing development and will overwhelm the surviving 19th century historic buildings in the area and significantly compromise and reduce the harbourside landscape setting.
