From the very beginning, Moore Park was the centre of Sydney’s recreation, sporting and entertainment activities. Within the first couple of years, the area was transformed through the creation of sports facilities, the Zoological Garden and the Showgrounds. The extensive Sydney tram system serviced Moore Park, with one of the largest annual drawcards to the Park being the Royal Easter Show 1 2 3 (which was held at Moore Park for 115 years). As Sydney’s population grew and the needs for 1800’s 1830’s 1840’s 1850’s - 60’s outdoor recreation diversified, more ‘attractions’ were introduced to Moore Park, as long as they were considered to be ‘for the good of the community’. _ Moore Park is located within a network of tracks _ The Lachlan Swamps Water Reserve was _ Victoria Barracks was constructed 1841 – 1846 _ In 1850 the government proclaimed a new road from British Colonial occupation, which followed established within the Common in 1837, its naming using locally quarried sandstone and was occupied from Botany Road to Coogee.

  • (1010046) Policy Challenges for Metropolitan Greenspace in Sydney
    POLICY CHALLENGES FOR METROPOLITAN GREENSPACE IN SYDNEY Catherine Evans, Robert Freestone UNSW, Sydney, UNSW, Australia INTRODUCTION Greenspace has long been recognised as a crucial urban amenity for environmental, social and economic reasons. Garvin (2001, 11) maintains that ‘it is impossible to understand fully the functioning of cities and suburbs or plan adequately for their future’ without a ‘deep appreciation of parks and the way they affect every aspect of our lives’. Internationally, a wide range of research projects, strategic plans and planning guides, prepared by and for government authorities and not-for-profit agencies, attests to an increasing demand for well integrated and high quality greenspace in urban regions (Veal, 2009). Recent Australian work has ranged from evaluating the adequacy of standards of provision for the compact city (Byrne and Sipe 2010; Searle, 2011) to considering the contribution of regional open space to metropolitan form and quality of life (Dooley and Pilgrim, 2010; Low Choy, 2010). Greenspace is vital to the character and amenity of Sydney yet can fly under the radar when other seemingly more pressing issues such as employment, transport and housing dominate contemporary discourse (Freestone et al 2006). Metropolitan Sydney is well endowed with greenspaces which in aggregate comprise approximately 630,000 hectares or 49% of the total land area (NSW DoP 2005). These greenspaces vary widely in type, program, administrative structure and size. They include the extensive and iconic national parks which rim and punctuate the built-up area, three botanic gardens, many sporting grounds and diverse, small pockets of bushland. Nor is Sydney plagued by issues of limited accessibility: 91% of residents live within walking distance (5-10 minutes) to a greenspace; the same percentage is less than a 30 minute drive to a large regional greenspace (NSW DoP 2005).

  • The Heritage Trees of 2115: Planting, Design and Establishment
    Treenet Proceedings of the 6 th National Street Tree Symposium: 1 st and 2 nd September 2005 ISBN 0-9775084-5-5 Treenet Inc THE HERITAGE TREES OF 2115: PLANTING, DESIGN AND ESTABLISHMENT Judy Fakes - Ryde College TAFE, NSW Abstract: This paper summarises the critical stages of managing the heritage landscapes and trees of the future from planning, site analysis, species selection, stock selection, planting, establishment, and maintenance to removal and replacement. This paper focuses on a landscape approach rather than the management of individual trees. It also includes a bibliography that may be a useful resource. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Across Australia, many of our 19 th Century and early 20 th Century landscapes and streetscapes are in decline. In Sydney these include Centennial Park, Hyde Park, the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Domain. Usually, the most visually dominant elements in these landscapes are the trees. Many Avenues of Honour have been lost or compromised through radical changes to their environment. In 2004, the removal of eleven trees, including four 140-year-old Moreton Bay Figs, from Sydney’s Domain stimulated a wide-ranging debate within the community. The reason for the removal was to plant 33 new trees. This was the debate that we had to have; as in order to sustain the visual amenity of our landscapes, tree removal and replacement is inevitable. The critical question seems to be when, in the life of a tree or a landscape, should this occur. If future generations are to enjoy the style of landscapes that we have come to know and love, then management decisions must be made for the life of the tree, the life of the landscape and the life of the manager.
