Sustainable Sydney 2030 exhibition on show for all to see

16 April 2008

Lord Mayor Clover Moore MP today unveiled a public exhibition at Customs House, Circular Quay providing a visual showcase of the City of Sydney's Sustainable Sydney 2030 plan.

Ms Moore was flanked by Sydney's leading urban designers, planners and architects, including Danish Architect Jan Gehl, to kick off the visionary exhibition.

The exhibition features a 3D animation of the City Centre showing Sydneysiders how Sydney in 2030 could look with the Cahill Expressway removed, Western Distributor grounded, development over Central Railway Station and a new park at Darling Harbour.

"All Sydneysiders have the chance to visualise the 2030 plan and provide feedback during the exhibition," said Lord Mayor Clover Moore MP. "Visitors can hear what the community has said, see the outlines of the key projects, and learn more about the vision that we are proposing for Sydney's future."

Step by step, the exhibition will take the visitor through the project's 12 months of planning and extensive consultation. Ten pods will be spread throughout the exhibition providing information to visitors on the strategy's 10 key directions and project ideas.

The exhibition will also extend to the outdoor forecourt of Customs House with a 6-metre tall public art installation, designed by artist Alex Kosmas. The installation draws from Kosmas' previous artwork, "Silent Escape," and will feature native Australian trees imprisoned in cages.

"It's an exhibition designed to let the visitor interact and engage with the 2030 vision," says Ms Moore. "We urge all sydneysiders to come to Customs House, view the exhibit, and have your say about the future of our city."

Feedback forms will be available from the 2030 exhibition or formal submissions can be registered by post or on the Sustainable Sydney 2030 website.

The exhibition will run for 6 weeks at Customs House, from April 17 - May 30. For more information on the exhibition or the Sustainable Sydney 2030 vision, visit www.sydney2030.com.au.
