  • Nsn Summer | 2007 North Sydney Given Sound Bill of Health
    northsydneynews |nsn summer | 2007 North Sydney given sound bill of health North Sydney Council has been given a sound sustainability rating by asset management consultants Jeff Roorda & Associates. Mr Roorda told Council that its sustainability ratio of .7 was the highest of any council the company had assessed to date. The company was commissioned by council to assess the sustainability of North Sydney’s infrastructure and develop an asset management plan. The ratio assigned to assets was a measure of the average amount council spends on assets divided by the amount that should be spent for optimal maintenance. As well as giving us an overall rating, the plan rates individual asset categories. Regional roads (ratio of 1.28), footpaths (1.09), bus shelters (.85) street signs (.81) and local roads (.79) have acceptable ratings, while seawalls (.65) and drainage (.62) have been identified as priorities and have received additional funding from this year’s infrastructure levy funds (see page 11). Council’s overall financial position was also assessed as sound by Auditors Spencer Steer and Associates. The operating result for the year was a surplus of $7.138 million. General Manager Penny Holloway said she was pleased but not surprised by the good bill of health. “North Sydney is debt free, we operate on a small surplus each year and have $48 million invested. This achievement is particularly impressive when you consider that North Sydney continues to have the lowest average rates in Sydney and a high level of customer satisfaction with our services.” Other key financial results for the 2006/2007 financial year included: • a total amount of $3.194 million worth of unrestricted cash and investments, which is available for day-to-day operations • developer contributions increased substantially compared to the previous financial year • user charges and fees, as well as investment interest, provided additional revenue.

  • Is There a Future for the Sydney Harbour Highline?
    Is there a future for the Sydney Harbour HighLine? A comparative study of opportunities and limitations in re-vitalisation of elevated railway corridors. ALICJA BATOROWICZ August 2019 Diploma in Local Government Management University of Technology Sydney TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 Chapter 1. HIGH-LINES AS AN OPEN SPACE STRATEGY 5 Chapter 2. SYDNEY HARBOUR HIGHLINE: THE NEXT GREEN OPEN SPACE OF SYDNEY 9 Chapter 3. COMPARATIVE METHODOLOGY 15 Chapter 4. PARKS OF THE HIGH LINE 17 Promenade Plantée and Viaduc des Arts 18 New York City High Line 23 Analysis 28 Chapter 5. ANALYSIS 30 Conclusion 35 REFERNCES 36 pg. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The objective of this dissertation is a research of existing examples of former urban railway corridors defined as high lines, successfully reclaimed and transformed to become a recreational open space. Through detailed analysis of two prime examples including Parisian Promenade Plantée and New York City High Line, the aim is to investigate and define the best model for the successful delivery of recently proposed Sydney Harbour HighLine. The aim is to establish a theory that adopted urban high lines are drivers behind economic growth, provide countless benefits to the society and work in harmony with the environment and cultural heritage. This dissertation seeks answers to the following questions: Is there a future for the Sydney Harbour HighLine? Will the revitalisation of Lavender Bay railway line become an elevated challenge or an opportunity? This dissertation has been presented in five chapters. The first chapter begins with an exploration of the unsustainable rate of rapid urbanization and its impact on the environment we live in.
