Project

Connecting Green Square

The Sustainable Sydney 2030 Vision establishes Green Square as a leading example of environmental, social and economic sustainability. It aims to build on the strengths of adjoining neighbourhoods and ensure environmental improvement in renewal areas also improves the environmental performance of the City as a whole.

Public Domain Plan

A key aspect of Sustainable Sydney 2030 is improving the liveability of our streets and public spaces. World leading expert Danish Architect Professor Jan Gehl also made a number of recommendations to the City of Sydney in his Public Spaces, Public Life study. As well as implementing many of the recommendations, the City is developing a Public Domain Plan which will detail public domain improvements and specific projects.
