Community consultation at the City of Sydney

The exhibition period for the draft Master Plan for Johnstons Creek Parklands has now closed. We thank everyone who had their say on this important local project.

We will be looking at all your feedback, alongside technical and feasibility considerations as we refine the draft Master Plan. Once we have made our changes we will present the Master Plan to Council for endorsement.

Please stay tuned to this website for project updates.

Three Community Drop-in Sessions will be held on Tuesday 30 April at Pine Street Creative Arts Centre 64 Pine St, Chippendale. The three sessions will run from 9am-10am, 4pm-5pm and 6pm-7pm.

The City of Sydney is proposing a streetscape upgrade to provide pedestrians and bike riders with a safe and connected green corridor linking Darlington to Ultimo via Chippendale.

Residents, pedestrians, and bike riders will be able to use this inner city link to bypass main roads and enjoy a safer, greener and congestion free trip.

The proposed 1.5 km upgrade includes footpath widening at intersections, tree planting to provide welcome shade, better lighting, new pram ramps, extra crossing points, speed cushions and a 40km/h speed limit.

As users of our small parks and playgrounds, it's important to hear from local children on what they would like to see. In the consultation process for the upgrade of Chelsea Street Playground, the children from Bourke Street Public School came up with 444 ideas. 

Today, Lord Mayor Clover Moore went back to the school and presented the draft plans to these young designers. A drop-in session for the local residents to have their say on the design plans will be held in May. 

Developed designs for the new childcare and community centre at 277 Bourke Street and new green spaces were showcased at a community information session on Saturday 13 April at Heffron Hall.

The City is carrying out a Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan for the Alexandra Canal catchment and we want your help with our survey. You can access the survey and more information online at the City of Sydney website until 5pm on Friday 19 April 2013.

The City of Sydney has a vision to transform George Street into a vibrant, world-class public space – featuring light rail, more trees, and more space for people. Experience it for yourself at our free exhibition at Customs House, Circular Quay which will be open from 4 April to 3 May 2013.

The City of Sydney has plans to renew St James Park and John Street Reserve in Glebe to better connect the spaces, and provide new grassed areas, upgraded facilities, native habitat and new play equipment. We invite you to view our updated webpage for the latest news on this exciting local project for Glebe.
