  • Monorail & Light Rail
    2013 SYDNEY MONORAIL & LIGHT RAIL Advertising Media Kit Sydney Monorail and Metro Light Rail are unique transportation networks connecting Sydney’s key leisure, retail and dining precincts with surrounding transportation hubs and inner city residential areas. Advertising in these unique environments not only offers advertisers high-reach and frequency opportunities to broadcast their message to workers, tourists, shoppers and residents – they also offer a unique level of consumer engagement. Vehicle Liveries deliver an unavoidable message to passengers, pedestrian and vehicle traffic. While with Station Advertising, consumers have plenty of time to read, consider and take in your message with an average waiting time of three minutes on Sydney Monorail and ten minutes on Metro Light Rail stations. © Metro Transport Sydney Pty Ltd 2012 ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES Why outdoor (or out of home) advertising? In today’s busy and fast–paced life, Outdoor is perfect for reaching people on the go and reaches audiences that other media find hard and cost–prohibitive to reach. For consumers there is no avoiding Outdoor; it is free and cannot be turned off. Outdoor is about delivering impact and awareness – it captures ‘share of mind’ and produces measurable results. No other media can match the impact and reach against the investment.

    Leading � rec�very Annual Report 2019–2020 TARONGA ANNUAL REPORT 2019–2020 A SHARED FUTURE � WILDLIFE AND PE�PLE At Taronga we believe that together we can find a better and more sustainable way for wildlife and people to share this planet. Taronga recognises that the planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems are the life support systems for our own species' health and prosperity. At no time in history has this been more evident, with drought, bushfires, climate change, global pandemics, habitat destruction, ocean acidification and many other crises threatening natural systems and our own future. Whilst we cannot tackle these challenges alone, Taronga is acting now and working to save species, sustain robust ecosystems, provide experiences and create learning opportunities so that we act together. We believe that all of us have a responsibility to protect the world’s precious wildlife, not just for us in our lifetimes, but for generations into the future. Our Zoos create experiences that delight and inspire lasting connections between people and wildlife. We aim to create conservation advocates that value wildlife, speak up for nature and take action to help create a future where both people and wildlife thrive. Our conservation breeding programs for threatened and priority wildlife help a myriad of species, with our program for 11 Legacy Species representing an increased commitment to six Australian and five Sumatran species at risk of extinction. The Koala was added as an 11th Legacy Species in 2019, to reflect increasing threats to its survival. In the last 12 months alone, Taronga partnered with 28 organisations working on the front line of conservation across 17 countries.

  • WATT's MAKING KIDS SMILE
    SPRING 2016 NORTHSYDNEYNEWS Three-year-old Emilia (pictured above) and two-year old Tayah (right) were among the first to test out our newly WATT’s MAKING KIDS SMILE refurbished playground at Watt Park in Lavender Bay. Getting to grips with the climbing frame, slides and roundabout, the girls enjoyed a fun day out at the playground with their grandmothers just days after it reopened in July. They also tried out the new swings, boat and spring rockers at the playground, which has plenty of space for family picnics. There’s also lots of shaded areas created by the numerous trees in the park. The playground won a design award from Kidsafe Australia in 1997 when it was first constructed. For this upgrade, Council opted to retain the original design and character, but replace the ageing equipment with new state-of-the-art play apparatus. More information about the playground and others in the North Sydney area is available on Council’s website: northsydney.nsw.gov.au/ Recreation_Facilities/Playgrounds 2 | NORTHSYDNEYNEWS FROM THE MAYOR If you live in Lavender Bay you probably There will be good things about the weren’t surprised to learn that the growth – big cities have an energy that suburb topped the list as Sydney’s most is very appealing.
