  • Urban Parks, Urban Icons? the Case of Bicentennial Park in Sydney
    U H P H 2 0 1 6 I c o n s : T h e M a k i n g , M e a n i n g a n d U n d o i n g o f U r b a n I c o n s a n d I c o n i c C i t i e s | 505 Urban Parks, Urban Icons? The case of Bicentennial Park in Sydney Catherine Evans Faculty of the Built Environment, UNSW [email protected] This paper explores the question of how urban parks function as urban icons. It examines Bicentennial Park in Homebush Bay, 12 km west of the Sydney Central Business District (CBD) as a case study. Bicentennial Park was planned and designed between 1983 and 1988, a time when Australia, and its cities in particular, grappled with tensions between celebrating achievements of two hundred years of European settlement and redressing the cultural and ecological harm wrought by those achievements. The research focuses on a review of material related to the design and promotion of the park, and early reviews of the park. The discussion explores the influence of specific ideas about the city and ecology on the transformations of use, materiality, and physical form of the land that became Bicentennial Park. Findings reveal that Bicentennial Park at Homebush Bay was conceived as an awkwardly scripted design, which in turn reflects a convergence of urban planning initiatives, intensifying environmental awareness and ideological tensions within the then nascent Australian- based profession of landscape architecture.

  • Site Analysis
    SITE ANALYSIS Site location + local context The Haymarket takes its name from the local neighbourhood. It sits entirely within an urban context and is bounded by the Pier Street flyover to the north, Harbour and Hay Streets, mixed, low-level commercial streets to the east and south respectively, and the light rail corridor to the west. The site is currently occupied by the Sydney Entertainment Centre in the east and a large multi-storey car park to the west. The raised Sydney monorail, which runs along its western, southern and eastern perimeter and includes the Paddy’s Market station, is to be closed and dismantled in June 2013. The local streets provide good connections into the city and university precincts and wider connections to Central Station. Connectivity to the west has historically been poor, after the introduction of a goods line segregated Ultimo and Pyrmont from the city. Pedestrian access is limited to the heavily trafficked Pier Street with stairs and ramps providing access to grade, and a footbridge from the Powerhouse Museum crossing Darling Drive and connecting with Paddy’s Market monorail station on the south- west corner of the site. SHFA is managing the creation of a new pedestrian corridor called the Goods Line (formerly known as the Ultimo Pedestrian Network or UPN). This project seeks to turn a disused goods line into a linear park supporting a range of activities – similar to the High Line in New York. This new corridor will land at the south-western corner of the site. The existing facilities to the north of the site within SICEEP will be redeveloped in a programme of regeneration to be completed by 2016.

  • Transport in the Cumberland Community Research Report June 2020
    Transport in the Cumberland Community Research Report June 2020 Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 Report prepared by the Social Research and Planning Team, Community and Place, Cumberland City Council 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY Cumberland City Council acknowledges the Darug Nation and People as the traditional custodians of the land on which the Cumberland Local Government Area is situated and pays respect to Aboriginal Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of Australia. Cumberland City Council also acknowledges other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples living and working in the Cumberland Local Government Area. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PARTICIPANTS Cumberland City Council would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who participated in this research. This report would not have been possible without your time and willingness to share your stories and experiences. Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents findings from research into key transport and mobility challenges for the Cumberland community. This research was conducted between August 2019 and April 2020 and is grounded in empirical data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Transport for NSW, amongst other sources, and extensive community engagement. Quality transport options are fundamental to accessing many essential services, education, employment and social and recreational activities. Although three train lines run through the Cumberland LGA, in addition to the T80 high frequency bus route, many Cumberland residents still have difficulties getting around. Major barriers raised by the community relate to reliability, frequency and coverage of services.
