Harbourview – the Tourism & Transport Forum’S Vision for Revitalising Sydney As Australia’S International Gateway and Premier Tourism Destination Welcome to HarbourView – the Tourism & Transport Forum’s vision for revitalising Sydney as Australia’s international gateway and premier tourism destination. Sydney Harbour is the heart and soul of Sydney. The harbour foreshore is the place where our global city meets our natural and cultural heritage, to create our unique lifestyle. HarbourView is the collective aspiration and endeavours of the tourism industry to celebrate, energise and recraft the vibrancy of Sydney Harbour. We wish to thank the members of TTF’s Sydney Harbour Tourism Panel and all the tourism industry entrepreneurs, investors, managers and staff who have contributed to this vision. We hope you will support HarbourView and our campaign to revitalise Australia’s leading destination.

Sydney tourism exports total $5.1 billion: larger than Australia’s wheat or wool exports. Over the last decade, Sydney’s market share of international visitors declined from 55.8 per cent to 49.5 per cent. In the year to June 2010, Sydney hosted 6.8 million domestic visitors staying for 19.3 million nights. There are almost 86,000 people directly employed in the tourism industry in Sydney. HARBOURVIEW The iconic harbour, with its bridge and opera house, is the classic first A VISION FOR glimpse of Sydney. But beyond the SYDNEY HARBOUR postcard image, what is there to do on and around the harbour? Sydney is Australia’s premier tourism destination and international gateway. Whether travelling for business, education, a conference, a sporting event or simply indulging Sydney has been losing its competitive edge due to a lack of in a holiday, most international tourists visit Australia through investment in attractions and critical infrastructure such as Sydney. convention and exhibition space and hotels. It is essential we Sydney needs new signature experiences to entice visitors. take action to reinvigorate our city, but we must remain true We need new attractions of the same calibre as BridgeClimb to ourselves and develop what is unique about Sydney: its to give visitors a reason to come back or stay longer. We need harbour, its people, its food and its heritage. modern facilities to make Sydney attractive as a global city. Leaders across the tourism industry in Sydney have come Cities ranging from Melbourne to Singapore have invested together to develop HarbourView, a vision for revitalising in becoming leading destinations for events, shopping, the Sydney as Australia’s foremost tourism destination.

Proudly protect and nurture the natural, indigenous and cultural heritage that makes us unique. 7 HARBOUR JOURNEYS Sydney’s cultural, heritage and entertainment places are not concentrated in the city centre but dispersed along the harbour foreshore. The Harbour makes places such as Luna Park and The Wharf Theatre unique experiences, however the foreshore is difficult for visitors to access and navigate. Sydney’s transport network is based on commuter routes into and out of the central business district. Sydney needs new pathways that allow visitors to escape the CBD and explore our harbour city. These pathways are not mere routes to tourist sites but will allow a visitor to experience Sydney as a journey. 8 9 Commencing from the Royal Botanic The Great Harbour Walk includes historic THE Gardens and World Heritage-listed pubs, great dining and unique overnight GREAT Sydney Opera House then crossing stays such as Q Station, harbour island the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the walk camping, heritage cottages and luxury HARBOUR continues on the northern shore of hotels with harbour views.

  • 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.

IPA supports the planning principles that have resulted from the first phase of consultation on the Bays Precinct and looks forward to seeing them implemented during Stage 2 and into the future. IPA particularly supports the position on the Rozelle Rail Yards – the yards should remain reserved for future transport infrastructure is vital to Sydney’s future public transport provision. Much of the Bays Precinct will be utilised for mixed land-use such as residential, commercial and open space. However, the decision to set aside potential transport and infrastructure corridors and bases, including the rail yards at Rozelle and possible ferry infrastructure at White Bay and Glebe Island, demonstrates a coordinated strategic approach to land-use planning - an approach that has been lacking in NSW’s recent history.

  • Existing Port Facilities CHAPTER 3
    Existing Port Facilities CHAPTER 3 Summary of key outcomes: Sydney’s ports provide a vital economic gateway for the Australian and NSW economies. In 2001/02, Sydney’s ports handled approximately $42 billion worth of international trade which represents 17% of Australia’s total international trade and 56% of NSW’s international air and sea cargo trade by value. Due to its proximity to the Sydney market, Port Botany is and will remain the primary port for the import and export of containerised cargo in NSW. Currently, over 90% of container trade passing through Sydney’s ports is handled at Port Botany. Port Botany Expansion Environmental Impact Statement – Volume 1 Existing Port Facilities CHAPTER 3 3 Existing Port Facilities 3.1 Role and Significance of Sydney’s Ports The port facilities of Sydney are located at Port Botany and within Sydney Harbour. These ports, along with the airport, are the economic gateways to NSW. This is reflected by the fact that in 2001/02 Sydney’s ports handled approximately $42 billion worth of international trade. This represents: $10,000 for each person in the greater Sydney region, which has a population of close to 4 million; 56% of NSW’s total international air and sea cargo trade by value; and 17% of Australia’s total international trade. Cargo throughput through Sydney’s ports (Sydney Ports Corporation owned and private berths) during 2001/02 was 24.3 million mass tonnes, with containerised cargo accounting for 43.9%. This trade comprised more than 1 million TEUs, 183,000 motor vehicles and about 13.6 million mass tonnes of bulk and general cargo.
