The draft Plan of Management and Masterplan was developed by Clouston Associates for the City. Round One of the consultation commenced in January 2006 and was completed in June 2006. The Round One outcomes were reported in separate volumes.1 Exhibition of the draft Plan of Management and Masterplan The draft Plan of Management and Masterplan were put on public exhibition during the period between 11 August to 7 September, 2006. The exhibition included the following elements: Static displays Static displays of the draft Plan of Management and Masterplan were mounted at the City of Sydney’s one-stop shops. People who attended the static displays were advised they could make written comment to Council about any aspect of the draft Plan of Management and Masterplan. Facilitated displays in Hyde Park The City held three separate facilitated displays of the documents in Hyde Park between 11.00am and 2.00pm on the following days: Wednesday 16 August, 2006 Sunday 20 August, 2006 Tuesday 29th August, 2006 The facilitated displays were staffed by staff of the City of Sydney Council, Clouston Associates and The People for Places and Spaces. Those attending the facilitated display were requested to complete a response form, which asked the following questions: • What aspects of the draft Plan of Management and Masterplan do you most like? • What aspects do you least like? • Are there any other comments you wish to make? 1Hyde Park Intercept Survey. March 2006 An Observational User Analysis Study of Hyde Park, April 2006 Interviews with service and amenity providers, May 2006 E-mail and telephone survey of stakeholders nominated by Council, June 2006 Mail-out survey of adjacent property owners, June 2006 i Introduction Comment on the facilitated displays The facilitated displays in Hyde Park consisted of a tent (depicted on the front cover) with display panels that contained information about the consultation outcomes, the Tree Management Plan and the draft Plan of Management and Masterplan. Approximately 50 persons attended each facilitated display. This figure is approximate as the displays were set up in such a way that people could read the panels without choosing to engage with the facilitators, if facilitators were talking with others. Some chose to do this, while others waited to read the panels and discuss the contents with the facilitators. After reading the panels, most chose not to complete a written feedback form, the vast majority declaring they were “happy” with what they reviewed on the panels. Although attendance by members of the public at the facilitated displays is described as low, those who did attend were positive in their response to the draft Plan of Management and Masterplan. A note about the content of this report Anecdotal feedback from the facilitators at the exhibition reflecting their discussions with participants has been included in the report, as the anecdotal response from participants was so positive. Indeed, satisfaction with the draft Plan of Management and Masterplan, and with the Tree Management Plan was stated directly by many as a reason not to complete any written feedback. Therefore, in the absence of abundant written feedback from the exhibition, the anecdotal feedback has been included to ensure that the outcomes of Round Two do reflect the positive nature of the responses of those who attended. This report contains the following information: Analysis of the written feedback from the Round Two facilitated displays A report of anecdotal feedback from those who attended the Hyde Park exhibition, provided by those who facilitated the exhibition Analysis of the written submissions received by Council in response to the draft Plan of Management and Masterplan. A summary table of the main findings follows. This is followed by the outcomes of the facilitated displays (written and anecdotal) plus the written submissions to Council. ii b P O I i Ab R M o Ag M M f E Th n n o x e l f e c a r e a a l H p f y c t a q l o s n o m u h t m o re i t u y h a r n re s e e g o i d e g i e p s e g s o rp n t e r e O s i i n C n i c i P i e m n a t t l P a a i l h l d l o M o y a o m l e n t a e P m n u h n f H s r n e l n e u k a re t t p o m o e h c q p a i f a P r f i e c m o u p l i n l t a e j o ri a o d n o rt a g v e l a r l t h Written feedback by e participants m e s Participants t h comments received a by facilitators t e m Aboriginal Housing e Company – Letter rg e d Aids Trust of Australia – Letter f r o Australian Museum – m Letter p a r t Australian Olympic i c committee – Letter u l a r Edmund Rice Centre s – Letter t a k The Returned and e h Services League of o Australia – Letter l d e r The Trustees of the s Anzac Memorial – Letter The Premier’s Department of NSW John Baptist Fountain Letters (4) Individual letters (5) i i i i D e t s M e M m h T f w S P a S v e h t m u u v v a l h a a a a a a i e e e e v p n g e n t n t y e i m e n n n g e i u p F d m n e P t t t r o re o o o i t s d a n s a i o f a c rt o ri i s t m g rk n i n a e e o M n d a d s d f e e l l o s i c a o t m s a m n v h a A h n r M n n e t a e d o a p s d g u D n n e g a a u s P t t y e e j W c s t l o o a d ra m t l l rk l r i i t i t o k n l e n h ’ i e s a f o t n e e he t t m e s Written feedback t ha by participants t e m e r g e Participants d f comments received r o by facilitators m pa r t Aboriginal Housing i c Company – letter ul a r s t a k e Aids Trust of ho Australia – letter l d e r s Australian Museum – letter Australian Olympic committee – letter Edmund Rice Centre – letter The Returned and Services League of Australia – letter The Trustees of the Anzac Memorial – letter The Premier’s Department of NSW John Baptist Fountain letters (4) Individual letters – (5) Major themes that emerged from particular stakeholders n – e y i ) e W a d b c g 5 r tr f t i S m ( e d – r n th n k o n p i v u r n l N s i r e f c s tte u e a a r e m e a f u o i e tte s C o l c y u tte s b r o e l tte d o u F f ’ s s l g e e e d tte o r e e – l t r o a e r t l H c M O e s e e – n i n s l e i m ts t t l e s – - e r to te ) e f s n n R L ti l t e a n n y s a m 4 a a a a a te p a a u n t n n tu i i i s i m ( u n d i i e t M l l l l r a u r l a t p p e i e r e r g i i i a a a n a s r d i B T p c c i c r r r r R c c T P r r r u i m m a r tte a t t t t tte a v i s v ti ti n m i f p o s s s s z e e e r m e m m r r r d h l e d o tte tte tte h h h a a y d e o o o n e e e W p P c b Ab C Ai Au Au l Au c E – T S Au T An l T D J l I Continuing opportunities for consultation Improve security after hours Restoration of John Baptists Fountain Do not relocate the John Baptist Fountain Tree management is critical Positive response to the Tree Management Plan Connect Hyde Park to the Domain v v m a M c AN t l S a h i m u u n e o a rt p d e t m re Z p i s n l d a c o o A i e t g a p rt ri i e C f p e u i a n e s b f l o M e l n c i r M c e e t h h a m a a e r n j o o g t r h e r i e a s t l ’ he s m e s Written feedback t ha by participants t e m e r g e Participants d f comments received r o by facilitators m pa r t Aboriginal Housing i c Company – letter ul a r s t a k Aids Trust of e Australia – letter ho l d e r s Australian Museum – letter Australian Olympic committee – letter Edmund Rice Centre – letter The Returned and Services League of Australia - letter The Trustees of the Anzac Memorial – letter The Premier’s Department of NSW John Baptist Fountain letters (4) Individual letters (5) Written feedback from exhibition participants Written feedback from exhibition participants What aspects of the draft plans do you support?

  • 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.

  • A Systemic Linguistic Analysis of Two Prime Ministerial Speeches
    A Systemic Linguistic Analysis of Two Prime Ministerial Speeches Paul Dickinson Assignment submitted for Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics March 2009 Functional Grammar FG/09/01 Apply the principles of systemic linguistic analysis explored in the course to a comparison of the style and communicative functionality of two short texts or text extracts of your own choice. The texts should have a similar subject matter, be drawn from a similar institutional or discourse domain (science, economics, health care provision, tourism, politics, the arts etc) or have some other obvious point of similarity. They need, however, to differ significantly in some aspect of their style, structure, approach, tone. You should indicate how the texts are similar and how they are different in terms of their general stylistic properties and their communicative functionality. Your claims should be backed up by means of an analysis of the types of lexical and grammatical features explored in the course. That is to say, you should consider whether the texts are similar or different in terms of the types of textual, interpersonal and experiential (ideational) meanings explored in the materials.

Incremental steps are no longer adequate – we need to dramatically increase economic needs of the present action.

  • 19 September 2016 Kim Ellis Director Centennial Park and Moore Park
    19 September 2016 Kim Ellis Director Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust [email protected] Dear Kim Moore Park Master Plan 2040 Establishing a master plan for Moore Park is vital to achieving the community’s long term vision and protecting the park in the future; I commend the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust for taking on this important task. While there are some important proposals to green parts of Moore Park, I share strong community concern that the draft master plan represents a dangerous move towards commercialisation and alienation of public land that is vital to the region and fails to expand much-needed space for passive recreation. Moore Park is part of the Sydney Common that was set aside by Governor Macquarie in 1811 for the long term recreation needs of present and future Sydney generations. Less than a third of the original bequest is open public land, yet the demand for green open space is growing at unprecedented rates due to urban consolidation policies and continuing major inner city redevelopments, including at Green Square adjacent to the park. The focus of Moore Park future planning must be to provide for the long term recreational needs of the surrounding communities. Tree Planting and Canopy Extension There is strong community support for proposals that increase trees and vegetation across the park. Moore Park has pockets of wild nature and these areas must be enhanced and expanded to improve the passive recreation experience and ensure the park remains a peaceful haven from the city for expanding populations.
