The Story of Conybeare Morrison
THE STORY OF CONYBEARE MORRISON F ew designers have made such an indelible mark on Sydney’s urban spaces, infrastructure and architecture as Darrel Conybeare and Bill Morrison. Together, these two have produced innovations so pervasive through Sydney that they have become part of the ‘furniture’ – yet their significance has largely gone unrecognised. Outdoor Design Source takes a closer look at Conybeare and Morrison’s contribution to the design of the Harbour City and seeks to discover the secret to their extraordinary partnership. 66 LUMINARY I www.outdoordesign.com.au LUMINARY 67 "Their work has subtly and skilfully become part of the fabric of Sydney's metropolitan landscape."

(1010046) Policy Challenges for Metropolitan Greenspace in Sydney
POLICY CHALLENGES FOR METROPOLITAN GREENSPACE IN SYDNEY Catherine Evans, Robert Freestone UNSW, Sydney, UNSW, Australia INTRODUCTION Greenspace has long been recognised as a crucial urban amenity for environmental, social and economic reasons. Garvin (2001, 11) maintains that ‘it is impossible to understand fully the functioning of cities and suburbs or plan adequately for their future’ without a ‘deep appreciation of parks and the way they affect every aspect of our lives’. Internationally, a wide range of research projects, strategic plans and planning guides, prepared by and for government authorities and not-for-profit agencies, attests to an increasing demand for well integrated and high quality greenspace in urban regions (Veal, 2009). Recent Australian work has ranged from evaluating the adequacy of standards of provision for the compact city (Byrne and Sipe 2010; Searle, 2011) to considering the contribution of regional open space to metropolitan form and quality of life (Dooley and Pilgrim, 2010; Low Choy, 2010). Greenspace is vital to the character and amenity of Sydney yet can fly under the radar when other seemingly more pressing issues such as employment, transport and housing dominate contemporary discourse (Freestone et al 2006). Metropolitan Sydney is well endowed with greenspaces which in aggregate comprise approximately 630,000 hectares or 49% of the total land area (NSW DoP 2005). These greenspaces vary widely in type, program, administrative structure and size. They include the extensive and iconic national parks which rim and punctuate the built-up area, three botanic gardens, many sporting grounds and diverse, small pockets of bushland. Nor is Sydney plagued by issues of limited accessibility: 91% of residents live within walking distance (5-10 minutes) to a greenspace; the same percentage is less than a 30 minute drive to a large regional greenspace (NSW DoP 2005). -

The Use of Urban Parks
The Use of Urban Parks A. J. Veal, University of Technology, Sydney Published in Annals of Leisure Research, 2006: 9(4), 245-77 Abstract Urban parks are a significant feature of the urban environment and constitute a significant budget commitment on the part of local councils and some state governments, but they are relatively neglected, and often ignored, in mainstream leisure studies. This paper examines two themes in existing urban parks research, namely the 'non-use and decline' theme and the theme of equity. The review concludes that the 'accepted wisdom' on non-use and decline of urban parks is questionable and contrary to available empirical evidence and that leisure studies discourses which ignore urban parks as a leisure sector give a distorted view of the equity outcomes of public leisure services as measured by patterns of usage. The paper presents data from recent surveys of park use in Sydney, Australia, which indicate that visiting urban parks is the most popular of all out-of-home leisure activities and, unlike a number of other public leisure services, urban parks attract high levels of use from virtually all sections of the community. Introduction Parks are significant features of most cities and towns. In England and Wales urban parks amount to 75,000 hectares, some 10-15 per cent of the developed area (Comedia, 1995: 22) and, in 1998/99, accounted for 32 per cent of all local government leisure services expenditure (Urban Green Spaces Taskforce, 2002: 16). In Australia it is estimated that there are over 50,000 urban parks, covering 3.4 million hectares (ABS, 1998) and public expenditure on urban parks is estimated at $A1450 million annually1. -

Foreword It is a matter of regret that, in the year 2000, Sutherland Group possesses neither a documented history nor even records which are in any way complete, covering its thirty-eight year lifespan. The late Dick Dietsch, one of our former stalwart members, actually compiled such a history ill 1986, but unfortunately, the only copy of that document has been lost. The archives from the early years, which our Honorary Secretary has in her safekeeping, consist mainly ofinward and outward correspondence, dating from February 1963 to March 1976. There are also a few sundry reports, attendance records, pamphlets, questionnaires and newsletters from that period. Fortunately, however, reports ofsome ofthe Group's early activities have come to light in early editions ofNSW Region's newsletter, Native Plantsfor NSW In the absence of more substantial records, and in the hope of at least recording in a concise fonn what can be gleaned of the Group's early history, I am writing this brief account, and updating it to the present with the help ofnewsletters and committee minutes from 1977. -

By 1990, restraints placed on wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) dis- Drought charges to receiving waters became an incentive for water recycling. The millennium drought (2000–2009) was a Managed aquifer recharge further driver for water recycling and desalination. Water reform policies, led to guidelines for recycled water, Stormwater including stormwater and augmentation of drinking water. Advanced purified recycled water plants for indirect Water recycling potable reuse were built in Brisbane. Dual pipes for drinking and recycled water were installed in new suburbs in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Agricultural, industrial and amenity recycled water use was expanded. Seawater desalination plants were installed in Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. After the drought, economics further influenced the future use of recycled water. Since catchment water was cheaper than recycled or desalinated water, desalination plants were mothballed or maintained at low processing rates. and Brisbane’s advanced water treatment plants were shut. Water policy complacency followed. However, Western Australia, which had declining rainfall, demonstrated to an accepting community that recycled water could be used for groundwater replenishment in Perth’s water supply.
