This vision includes 5 Strategic Directions and 10 Targets, all focused on a green, global and connected city. The Green Square precinct development project is an important part of the City’s program to transform Sydney. Green Square is an $8 billion development project near Sydney’s international gateways of Port Botany and Sydney Airport. At the heart of Green Square is 14 hectares of land to be developed as the Green Square Town Centre. The Town Centre is planned around a new public plaza and civic building - the Green Square Library. This important project will be the catalyst for residential and commercial development in the precinct and will establish the character of the future Town Centre. This design competition aims to continue the City’s reputation for design excellence and world leading sustainability practice, while embodying the spirit and aspirations of the local community. An exploration of the importance and meaning of ‘the library’ is central to this project. The library, as a building type, has been evolving throughout time. Initially a repository of books and documents, and a place to access the information and knowledge contained within, libraries also became community hubs, and places to engage with others. With the recent rapid changes in technology, people’s ability to access information has changed, but the library still exists as a physical place to have access to knowledge and to engage with other people. One goal of this competition is to fi nd a library design for Green Square that contains the functional requirements of the brief and budget but does so in an engaging and exceptional way; the other goal is to fi nd a library design that expresses what a library is today - as more than a repository of books, as a gateway to knowledge, and as a hub of community activity, and how that all interrelates with the adjacent public plaza. The plaza will be a place for the community. A place to meet, to linger, to dine and shop. It will be capable of accommodating public events and markets, as well as day-to-day practicalities such as shade and shelter and conversely, places to enjoy the sunshine. The plaza design will respond to the site’s complex geometry, as well as resolving the competing demands of outdoor dining, pedestrian and vehicular movement and service easements. 1 _CURRENT_Green Square Library Design Competition_Brief_200712.indd 1 23/07/2012 9:55:52 AM Green Square Library & Plaza Design Competition / Brief The City of Sydney is committed to its program described in ‘Sustainable Sydney 2030’. In line with its directions this competition seeks to fi nd a library and plaza design that is: Green — a demonstration of world-leading sustainability principles — designed for longevity and ease of maintenance — adaptable and able to cope with changing demands over time Global — understanding of and interprets the past, present and future of the library — iconic, defi ning the identity and character of the Green Square Town Centre — a demonstration of excellence in all aspects of planning, design, development, management and construction — contemporary, inspired and inventive, and expressive of its time and place — poetic and thought-provoking Connected — welcoming, open and inclusive — integrated and harmonious — visually connected with, and open to, its immediate surroundings — responsive to the site and the wider context — accessible to the whole community — safe for users, visitors and workers 2 _CURRENT_Green Square Library Design Competition_Brief_200712.indd 2 23/07/2012 9:55:54 AM The site _CURRENT_Green Square Library Design Competition_Brief_200712.indd 3 23/07/2012 9:55:55 AM Competition site Green Square Town Centre _CURRENT_Green Square Library Design Competition_Brief_200712.indd 4 23/07/2012 9:55:58 AM Sydney Harbour Sydney Central Business District Green Square Development Project Area Green Square Railway Station Green Square Town Centre Competition Site Sydney Airport _CURRENT_Green Square Library Design Competition_Brief_200712.indd 5 23/07/2012 9:56:06 AM Green Square Library & Plaza Design Competition / Brief Location The site Green Square is the State’s most strategic urban development area. By 2031 the area will comprise a resident population of over 48,000 and a workforce of about 22,000 people. At the heart of Green Square is 14 hectares of land to be developed as the Green Square Town Centre – a new major centre around the Green Square railway station. The fi rst stage of development began in 2012 and will be completed within a decade. The competition site for the library and plaza is at the heart of the Green Square Town Centre development. It is located on Botany Road, opposite the Green Square railway station. Competition Site The Green Square Town Centre is a brown-fi eld urban development site, currently undergoing early works in preparation for redevelopment. It is important to note that the site description below refers to buildings and activities that do not yet exist. If one were to visit the site they would not see what is described in the following paragraphs. For this reason there will be no offi cial site visit. If entrants wish to travel to the perimeters of the site to gain an appreciation of the broader context of the site, they are welcome to do so. However, the vision for the Town Centre described in this competition brief is yet to be delivered. Planning Context Planning controls for the precinct have been developed and are described in a number of strategic planning documents. This brief shall be read in conjunction with the following documents: 1. Green Square Town Centre Development Control Plan 2012 2. Draft Green Square Town Centre Public Domain Strategy 2012 3. Draft Green Square Public Art Strategy 2012 Other information that may be useful can be found at: 1. Library Services http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/Library 2.

These buildings have retail uses at ground level that will generate a signifi cant amount of activity. The southern edge of the plaza will be predominantly used for outdoor dining. The buildings to the north of the competition site will be designed to ensure that the dining areas get winter sun at lunch time. 9 _CURRENT_Green Square Library Design Competition_Brief_200712.indd 9 23/07/2012 9:56:20 AM Green Square Library & Plaza Design Competition / Brief Ebsworth Street The competition site is criss-crossed by pedestrian desire lines that link the high street, Ebsworth Street, to the main fresh food retailing south of the competition site. In addition the site is bordered by transport links Green Square that will generate signifi cant pedestrian fl ows. Train Station A new pedestrian crossing of Botany Road linking the town centre to the train station will be located at the south-west corner of the competition site. The existing train station and bus stops on Botany Road are located to the west of the competition site. Local pedestrian retail streets surround the site but vehicular traffi c through the competition site will be limited to a single connection at the eastern end. The northern side of the competition site will include a transport corridor connecting from Botany Road to Zetland Avenue. This corridor will be used to connect surface transport to the city along the eastern edge of the greater Green Square Urban Renewal Area. In the short term the corridor will be used by buses eventually converting to a light rail connection.

It includes stories of individuals, families and communities living near one another and links between adjoining suburbs, regions and countries. How important were class, the economy, gender, governments, the media, race, religion and sport in the formation of ideas regarding neighbours? How have attitudes regarding a nation’s geographic neighbours determined defence, foreign, immigration, refugee and trade policies? Did new types of communication and transport from the nineteenth century onwards radically alter how neighbours and neighbourhoods were perceived? As the success of the Australian television program Neighbours shows, the theme has long been a significant component of popular culture.

  • Name Recommendations Pack City and South East Light Rail (CSELR)
    Document owner TfNSW Wayfinding Program Name recommendations pack City and South East Light Rail (CSELR) Version 1.7 Draft for discussion 13.03.2017 TfNSW Customer Services Division Wayfinding Program Introduction Background and introduction Background The NSW public transport system is made up of a network of train stations, bus stops, ferry wharves and light rail stops. Consistent use of an agreed name for every location is fundamental to both the customer service offering and operation of the public transport system. Within TfNSW, the Customer Services Division is responsible for determining names for all public transport locations, including: - interchanges - train stations - bus stops - ferry wharves - light rail stops - metro stations TfNSW’s rules for naming stops are described in the Naming Guideline and Customer Information Business Rules documents, available through Customer Services Division. Why names matter For customers, the name of a station, stop or wharf is the key to navigation. It is the first step in planning a trip, or in understanding how they can use public transport to complete a journey. Names help them to understand where they are when travelling on the public transport system, and to successfully plan trips and connections. Names must always be consistent, whether a customer sees them in the built environment, on- board, in printed materials or online. This document This document is an early draft for key stakeholder review. Your feedback is welcome. Please contact your usual TfNSW point of contact with any comments or questions. Next steps Following key stakeholder review, TfNSW will seek endorsement of these recommendations through the Geographical Names Board (GNB) process.
