Green Square

The City of Sydney is working on priority projects to ensure development and growth in the Green Square area is matched with quality community facilities, open space and parks, and transport connections.

We have dedicated $330 million over the next 10 years to new community facilities - a new library and plaza, cultural facililies, a new aquatic centre, open spaces and parks. The City of Sydney will also invest in green infrastructure to help make Green Square environmentally sustainable.

As these projects come to life we want to hear from you in their design and implementation. Help shape the future of Green Square - register for updates on opportunities to have your say.
