You will also have the opportunity to take a tour of public domain improvement works, innovative water and energy-saving green buildings, improved pedestrian and cycling links and areas for conservation throughout the University.

Community comments on the draft masterplan are important to the University and it is seeking your feedback and suggestions to assist it in finalising the Draft Campus 2020 Masterplan.

The community session is focused on the overall draft masterplan. The planning for specific University precincts is in its very early stages and the University will consult with the community on these as it develops its ideas in more detail.

Schedule of events – Saturday 23 August 2008

Drop- in session – drop in any time between 12pm and 4pm at the Holme Building, Science Road, The University of Sydney (next to the Footbridge Theatre). You will be able to view information on the draft masterplan and talk through details with members of the project team.

Frasers has lodged a modified concept with the Department of Planning for the former Broadway brewery site. The modified concept plan will soon be on exhibition, and with the technical documents, available to the public (Frasers will publish the documents relating to the modified concept plan on their website at the first opportunity). Frasers say they are keen to give high quality information to the community in order to inform any public submissions.

At 6:30pm there will be presentations to highlight the proposed modifications to the Concept Plan as well as the design excellence process. The international and Australian design team will be available to showcase their preliminary designs for the site.

Fraser’s realise that this community information session is being held during the school holidays which is not ideal but say they are unfortunately subject to the Department of Planning approval process.

Fraser’s intend to have an additional static display (in addition to the required display at the DoP) that will run during the exhibition process. Details of the location and timing will be made available as soon as the DoP provides its advice.
