PEEPSHOW: Chippendale... behind closed doors will commence at 1pm with the official opening of Sydney's new multidisciplinary arts space - FraserStudios, before five different tours set off to explore the suburb of Chippendale on the hour... every hour til 6pm. On these tours, audiences will be taken to locations across Chippendale where they will be encouraged to experience the creative industries and people that make this eclectic suburb truly unique. Tours depart from 10–14 Kensington St, Chippendale. Each tour consists of around four different locations with a maximum of 20 people per tour – no pre-bookings... It’s strictly first in!  You are invited to attend “PEEPSHOW: Chippendale... behind closed doors” from 2pm on Sunday 19th October produced by Queen Street Studio.

Take a voyeuristic urban safari and discover the secrets lurking behind the doors of the Chippendale community. Once an industrial slum, this eclectic suburb is now home to some of Sydney’s most innovative institutions and artists.

Guided tours will give audiences an intimate and interactive experience of the cultural life of this infamous precinct. Who knows where you’ll find yourself, what you'll experience or who you’ll be with.

Once completed, the tours will take audiences to ‘live-sites’ where you can soak up the entertainment at either FraserStudios, Pine St Creative Arts Centre, Notre Dame University or Cleveland St Theatre before embarking on a new tour to a new set of locations across Chippendale. Then to wrap up the event, the residents of Wellington St will turn on their hospitality and transform this laneway into a labyrinth of entertainment, culture and celebration until the wee hours.

PEEPSHOW is a FREE event thanks to the City of Sydney.

Participating PEEPSHOW tour locations:
MOP Projects | Rex Dupain Studio | The Resistance Centre | Marnling Press | Graham Kuo Studio | Pine Street Creative Arts Centre | Peloton | NG Art Gallery | Sydney Theatre School | Gorgeous Upholstery | Red and Ruby | FraserStudios | Actors College of Theatre and Television | University of Notre Dame | Gourmet Palette | Bill and George Creative Industries Studio | Queen Street Studio | 3 Arts Make-Up Effects College | The Sustainable House | Duck and Swan Hotel | Isherwoods |

The long term use proposal is on exhibition until January Friday 20 January 2023. Use of Innovation Plaza as external Brewdog pub seating – Exhibition until 20 January 

If you have been to the pub in Bays 1 & 2 North, you will notice that there is seating in Innovation Plaza even though the DA for this seating has yet not been approved. The pub is operating on a temporary basis in accordance with the post-Covid provisions of State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 which permit temporary outdoor dining in areas across Sydney until 31 December 2023. 

The approval for permanent use of Innovation Plaza for this use is currently on exhibition as a State Significant Development Modification (Mod 11) for the Locomotive Workshops rather than a DA through Council. The long term use proposal is on exhibition until January Friday 20 January 2023. 

We have posted the Council submission for this DA on the REDWatch website - Council Submission on Innovation Plaza Seating Exhibition until 20 Jan 2023. Council have raised a number of concerns especially about the proposed operation after 10pm.

Patrons and neighbours will have the opportunity over Christmas and New Year to form a view on the application for this long-term use and make a submission through the major projects' website. 

Innovation Plaza – a planning shemozzle - REDWatch Comment

State and Council planning are always in a complex dance when the NSW Government decides that the Department of Planning (DPE) should make the big planning decisions rather than Council. In the case of South Eveleigh, DPE handle the decisions about the redevelopment of the Locomotive Workshop but leave the use DA to the City of Sydney Council.  

In the case of Innovation Plaza, Mirvac wanted to put built structures and seating into Innovation Plaza, so they put a State Significant Development Application to DPE which was exhibited as Mod 7. REDWatch objected in our REDWatch Submission on Loco Mod 7 encroachment on Public Space on the grounds that the public space is presumably protected by easements and positive covenants put in place by UrbanGrowth. REDWatch approached the Council planners to see if Council would enforce the easement that was enforceable only by them. We were advised that Council supported such activation so would not enforce the easement. 

In the end the State Significant Development over-rode the protections put in place by UrbanGrowth and the public recreation zone land zoning. The approval permitted a scaled back use of Innovation plaza for seating and some removable structures. The final use approval was to be made by the relevant consent authority which would normally be Council as it was for the operation of the pub. 

It turns out that Council could not deal with the DA because, as the current application explains: “Innovation Plaza is located in a public recreation zone where the proposed food and drink premises use is prohibited and in which the City of Sydney does not have the ability to approve the proposal or a footway dining application. The NSW Department of Planning and Environment (The Department) has the ability to approve the proposed use in Innovation Plaza under section 4.38 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act). Accordingly, the application is made as a modification to SSD 8517 rather than as a DA to the City of Sydney”.  

So, rather than a DA being assessed by the Council’s planning panel, we have a further modification to the SSDA because only DPE has the power to over-ride the prohibited use restriction, which is in the land use zoning that DPE decided was OK to over-ride when it dealt with the earlier Modification. 

Irrespective of what your views are about on street dining and street drinking or the use of Innovation Plaza for such purposes, there are questions about what purpose do “protections” like land use zoning, easements and positive covenants really provide to the community if Council planners don’t seek to enforce them and state government over-rides them. The winner out of all this is likely to be Mirvac South Eveleigh and maybe its tenant, Brewdog pub, which look likely to get an extra 220 pub seats in a public recreation zone which it is not paying rent on. It’s a good deal if you can get it! 

As we have said in the previous section, people have the opportunity over Christmas and New Year to form a view on this use of Innovation Plaza and to make a submission through the major projects' website until January Friday 20 January 2023.

TORRES STRAIT ISLANDERS IN SYDNEY TO CELEBRATE
Wednesday June 25, 2008
Media release: Gadigal
 
July 1 with visual arts,  oral histories,  song and dance.
 
On the 1st of July every year, Torres Strait Islanders acknowledge the 1871 arrival of Christianity on Erub Island in the Torres Strait.  In Sydney this year there will be much more than going to church and feasting.
 
Acknowledging that July One or its Creole equivalent, ‘Zulai 1’ is no longer restricted to celebrating Christianity,  the Lagaw Kodo Mir Torres Strait Islander Resource and Culture Centre NSW, with the support of the Australia Council for the Arts, have  organised a week long exhibition of high profile Islander artists and performances.
 
The planned activities promote the maintenance of Torres Strait Islander cultural practices and celebrate the artistic talents of Islander artists and performers such as Christine Anu, Gavin Ware, the Baiwa Dance Company and Cindy Drummond.
 
From the 1st to the 5th of July, the Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Cooperative in Leichhardt will host an inspiring exhibition by artists such as the winners of the 2007 Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award recipients Dennis Nona and Alick Tipoti.
