Urban Parks, Urban Icons? the Case of Bicentennial Park in Sydney
U H P H 2 0 1 6 I c o n s : T h e M a k i n g , M e a n i n g a n d U n d o i n g o f U r b a n I c o n s a n d I c o n i c C i t i e s | 505 Urban Parks, Urban Icons? The case of Bicentennial Park in Sydney Catherine Evans Faculty of the Built Environment, UNSW [email protected] This paper explores the question of how urban parks function as urban icons. It examines Bicentennial Park in Homebush Bay, 12 km west of the Sydney Central Business District (CBD) as a case study. Bicentennial Park was planned and designed between 1983 and 1988, a time when Australia, and its cities in particular, grappled with tensions between celebrating achievements of two hundred years of European settlement and redressing the cultural and ecological harm wrought by those achievements. The research focuses on a review of material related to the design and promotion of the park, and early reviews of the park. The discussion explores the influence of specific ideas about the city and ecology on the transformations of use, materiality, and physical form of the land that became Bicentennial Park. Findings reveal that Bicentennial Park at Homebush Bay was conceived as an awkwardly scripted design, which in turn reflects a convergence of urban planning initiatives, intensifying environmental awareness and ideological tensions within the then nascent Australian- based profession of landscape architecture. -
The City of Sydney
The City of Sydney City Planning, Urban Design and Planning, CVUT. Seminar Work by Phoebe Ford. LOCATION The City of Sydney, by M.S. Hill, 1888. State Library of New South Wales. Regional Relations The New South Wales Government conceptualises Sydney as ‘a city of cities’ comprising: The Central Business District (CBD) which is within the City of Sydney Local Government Area (LGA), the topic of my presentation, and North Sydney, which make up ‘Global Sydney’, and the regional cities of Parramatta, Liverpool and Penrith. This planning concept applies the Marchetti principle which aims to create a fair and efficient city which offers jobs closer to homes, less travel time and less reliance on a single CBD to generate employment. The concept is that cities should be supported by major and specialized centres which concentrate housing, commercial activity and local services within a transport and economic network. Walking catchment centres along rail and public transport corridors ‘One-hour Cities’ of the Greater Metropolitan Region of Sydney Sydney’s sub-regions and local government areas Inner Sydney Regional Context City of Sydney Local Government Area Importance Within Broader Context of the Settlements Network • Over the last 20 years, ‘the Global Economic Corridor’ - the concentration of jobs and infrastructure from Macquarie Park through Chatswood, St Leonards, North Sydney and the CBD to Sydney Airport and Port Botany- has emerged as a feature of Sydney and Australia's economy. • The corridor has been built on the benefits that businesses involved in areas such as finance, legal services, information technology, engineering and marketing have derived from being near to each other and to transport infrastructure such as the airport. -
Site Analysis
SITE ANALYSIS Site location + local context The Haymarket takes its name from the local neighbourhood. It sits entirely within an urban context and is bounded by the Pier Street flyover to the north, Harbour and Hay Streets, mixed, low-level commercial streets to the east and south respectively, and the light rail corridor to the west. The site is currently occupied by the Sydney Entertainment Centre in the east and a large multi-storey car park to the west. The raised Sydney monorail, which runs along its western, southern and eastern perimeter and includes the Paddy’s Market station, is to be closed and dismantled in June 2013. The local streets provide good connections into the city and university precincts and wider connections to Central Station. Connectivity to the west has historically been poor, after the introduction of a goods line segregated Ultimo and Pyrmont from the city. Pedestrian access is limited to the heavily trafficked Pier Street with stairs and ramps providing access to grade, and a footbridge from the Powerhouse Museum crossing Darling Drive and connecting with Paddy’s Market monorail station on the south- west corner of the site. SHFA is managing the creation of a new pedestrian corridor called the Goods Line (formerly known as the Ultimo Pedestrian Network or UPN). This project seeks to turn a disused goods line into a linear park supporting a range of activities – similar to the High Line in New York. This new corridor will land at the south-western corner of the site. The existing facilities to the north of the site within SICEEP will be redeveloped in a programme of regeneration to be completed by 2016. -

It provides a snapshot of the key issues around integrating light rail into George Street and makes recommendations for creating a beautiful, functional and high quality public realm. In 2012, the NSW State Government identified George Street as the preferred light rail route for the City Centre, subject to feasibility. In concert with Transport for NSW (TfNSW), the City has developed a detailed plan of the entire length of George Street, including stop locations, lane closures, kerb realignments and pedestrianisation. The detailed architectural drawings do not form part of this report. The ideas contained in this study have implications for places adjacent to George Street, like Sydney Square, Barrack Street and the laneway network. It is not the purpose of this document to develop detailed designs for these areas. Feasibility and design studies for these spaces are being undertaken separately. -
