  • Fact Sheet — Parklands
    Fact Sheet — Parklands The parklands at Sydney Olympic Park provide 430 hectares of open space, recreation areas, wetlands and waterways for the people of Sydney located in the heart of the growing metropolitan Sydney. • One of Australia’s largest urban parklands, Sydney Olympic Park is a diverse and special place where protected remnant woodlands, rare saltmarshes, waterbird refuge and mangroves stand alongside places of heritage significance to create a unique parkland setting. • A lasting legacy of the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the parklands have been designed and built on land formerly used by government industries including the State Abattoirs, State Brickworks and Commonwealth Department of Defence, and are the result of remediating industrial land — an internationally recognised leading environmental remediation and urban renewal project. • Today, the parklands are playing an increasingly important role as both a local park and as a significant regional park destination as Sydney grows. The parklands are an association of many different parks and places brought together as a single entity for management purposes. • The suburb of Sydney Olympic Park covers an area of 640 hectares, of which 430 hectares are parklands. • There are now over 2.7 million visits to the parklands annually, representing 27.5 percent of Sydney Olympic Park total visitation. • The parklands include the leisure and play areas of Bicentennial Park, Wentworth Common and Blaxland Riverside Park; the sporting grounds at Wilson Park and Archery Park, and Monster and Mountain X facilities; the state heritage listed Newington Armory; the more natural areas of Newington Nature Reserve and Badu Mangroves; the Brickpit and 100 hectares of wetlands and waterways.

While this kind ofnews story would often be ignored as just another example ofthe Chinese government destroying cultural history in the name ofprogress, the story of Qianmen had a new twist. Not only was Qianmen a protected heritage area under a 2002 Beijing Municipal Government Conservation Plan, but the destruction was said to have happened because ofthe upcoming 2008 Summer Olympic Games. Was the development ofQianmen in step with Olympic ideals and sustainable development? This thesis explores the sustainable development agenda ofthe International Olympic Committee, Agenda 21, in order to analyze the agenda, its impact in driving development policies in host cities Sydney, Australia and Beijing, China, and to what v extent planners incorporated historic preservation into Olympic development policies in both cities.

  • My Month of Military Sites OZ, 2009
    My month of military sites OZ, 2009 Artquest Journal - My month of military sites When I first arrived at Parramatta Artist Studios (PAS), despite my jet lagged state, I felt very much at home. Located centrally, a few minutes from the train station, and, most importantly, close to Westfields shopping center, I was able to get set up and orientated easily. Everyone at PAS has been very welcoming, and people that I have met on my travels are always happy to help. Michael Dagostino, the coordinator at PAS has been extremely helpful with practical issues, and has driven me to the Bankstown Bunker, Picnic Point, and to the Australian Defense Industries (ADI) site. Due to a fire in the seventies, the Bankstown Bunker has been filled with concrete and the entrance concealed, so it is now under a mound at the back of a housing estate with a few large rocks to mark the site. The South Sydney power station has been built on the site of the remote receiving station at Picnic Point. Land developers are encroaching on ADI site land to be developed into new (and ugly) housing estates. The remaining parts of the ADI site no longer has the ‘Stalker’-esque landscape of discarded, nature enveloped military vehicles, although we did see a few kangaroos, emus, and some cacti. My visit to the secret ammunitions factory at Chullora proved to be marginally more successful. It is located underneath the site of a railway workshop, and although I could not find a way in, there was evidence of ventilation grates, and potential entrances or exits.

  • History Fact Sheet
    Fact Sheet — History Sydney Olympic Park’s rich and colourful history, including the momentous Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games, has left a lasting legacy that can be witnessed in each pocket of this iconic location. A rolling hill tells of a time where the site was a wasteland in need of remediation; bunkers now used as classrooms were once lined with armament, an expansive pit now a feature of the parklands echoes a past where men once undertook back-breaking work to fulfil Sydney’s demand for bricks; and world-class venues were used to set records on a world-stage for the Olympic Games. Aboriginal history • Sydney Olympic Park is situated on the traditional lands of the Wann clan, known as the Wann-gal. The lands of the Wann-gal stretched along the southern shore of the Parramatta River between Cockle Bay (Cadi-gal land) and Rose Hill (Burramatta-gal land). • The estuarine ecosystems in the area provided the Aboriginal communities with food, clothing and other resources necessary to their lifestyle as well as a means of travelling throughout the region by water. • Physical evidence of the usage of the Homebush Bay area by Aboriginal people has been found in the form of stone artefacts located nearby. Aboriginal shell middens (campsites where shellfish and other foods were consumed) were known to have lined Homebush Bay and the Parramatta River but were destroyed in the limekilns in the eighteenth and nineteenth century and subsequent alterations to the shoreline. 1 European Settlement • When Europeans arrived in 1788, Homebush Bay consisted of extensive tidal wetlands and thick bush.
