Community consultation at the City of Sydney

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.

You can also check out the updates on our Sydney East page.

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.

This consultation has now closed. We want to thank everyone who contributed their thoughts and ideas. We will be looking at all your feedback, along with our research as we develop our draft Cultural Policy. Stay tuned for more opportunities for you to tell us what creative life you want for Sydney.

The Eora Journey is a visionary project that celebrates the living culture of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community in Sydney. Eora means ‘the people’ in the Gadigal language, so the Eora Journey is ‘the people’s journey’.
