The Opera House owes Bob a tremendous debt for his expert stewardship through many important developments. His passion, professionalism and perseverance were crucial to the significant achievements of the Vehicle Access and Pedestrian Safety project. He presided over the Building Committee as the Opera House was inscribed on the State (2003), National (2005) and UNESCO World Heritage (2007) lists, which recognise the unique qualities of Jørn Utzon’s extraordinary landmark and help to ensure it will be appropriately protected and conserved. Bob also played a key role in establishing the Eminent Architects Panel and in the publication of the Conservation Management Plan (3rd Edition), the Sydney Opera House Renewal Framework and Utzon’s Gold Book, as well as countless building improvement and major maintenance projects. Bob was a true gentleman, whose wise guidance was always coupled with kindness and respect.

    Sydney Opera House Information Guide Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 On 1 July 2010 the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act) replaced the Freedom of Information Act 1989 (NSW). The GIPA Act aims to make government information more open, transparent and accessible to the public and encourage government entities, including Sydney Opera House to proactively release government information. Details about your right to information and how to access government information are available from the NSW Information and Privacy Commission. About the Sydney Opera House The Sydney Opera House is the symbol of modern Australia, the nation’s foremost tourism destination and one of the world’s busiest performing arts centres. A State, National and World Heritage-listed architectural masterpiece, the Opera House is a statutory body established under the Sydney Opera House Trust Act 1961. The Trust’s objectives are to: Administer, care for, control, manage and maintain the Sydney Opera House building and site; Manage and administer Sydney Opera House as an arts centre and meeting place; Promote artistic taste and achievement in all branches of the performing arts; and Foster scientific research into, and encourage the development of new forms of entertainment and presentation. A 2013 Deloitte Access Economics report released for the Opera House’s 40th Anniversary in October 2013 found that the Opera House contributes $775 million a year to the national economy and has a cultural and iconic value to Australia of $4.6 billion. In 2018, to mark the mid-point of the Opera House’s Decade of Renewal, Deloitte released a second report.
