The Following Information has been provided by Sydney University:

The University of Sydney’s Draft Campus 2020 Masterplan envisions a revolutionised and reinvigorated University; providing innovative spaces for learning and teaching, a forward-thinking approach to sustainability, and an inviting and accessible space for local residents and the wider community.

The University invites members of the local community to hear more about the Draft Campus 2020 Masterplan by attending an information and feedback session on Saturday 23 August. 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.

Tours – meet at the Shepherd Street Boardwalk, near the Abercrombie Street entrance, at 1pm and 3pm. Places are limited and we encourage you to book before the day.

To book a place on the tour, or for more information, please contact Lauren at Elton Consulting on 93872600 or email community2020@usyd.edu.au

The University is here for all of us to enjoy. Come in, explore and enjoy all the University has to offer.

  • Environmentally responsible - Protecting the environment for the future, by designing and constructing environmentally sustainable buildings, utilising new and innovative technologies.
  • Open to the community - Providing educational, cultural and social activities for all as well as encouraging public access to our attractive landscaped spaces.
  • Respectful of our heritage - Acknowledging the past and caretaking for the future, by ensuring the proper integration of new buildings of advanced design and sensitive landscaping with heritage buildings.

The Draft Campus 2020 Masterplan is available to download at http://www.usyd.edu.au/ab/about/docs/Campus_2020_Masterplan.pdf

The University realises that not everyone will be able to make the event, so it is currently developing a website containing clear information on the draft masterplan and a feedback function. You can email community2020@usyd.edu.au to be advised when the website goes live.

The specific areas of the masterplan where the University is seeking input from the community include:

  • How the University can best work with the  community to inform, and consult on the development of the masterplan and the renewal activities on campus
  • How we can limit any impacts of works on the local community e.g. traffic, site clearing and construction
  • The key features you would like to see in our campus of the future including:
    • Environmental sustainability initiatives
    • Building design and quality
    • Open space.
  • How you currently use the University’s facilities and grounds
  • How you would like to use the University’s facilities and grounds in the future.

The University of Sydney to host community information stall at Eveleigh Market

The Abercrombie Precinct will include student accommodation, and increase the Business School’s ability to attract the very best students, teachers and researchers from around the world.

“Keeping the community informed about the progress of the Abercrombie Precinct project is very important to the University of Sydney,” said Greg Robinson, Director of Campus Infrastructure and Services.  

“The feedback we received from the community following public exhibition in May this year was extremely valuable and helped us to refine the design even further.

“In particular, the University has reduced the height of the planned student accommodation building and increased setbacks to better integrate the development with surrounding properties.”

Through consultation activities and meetings with key local community groups, the University of Sydney understands that traffic and parking are important issues for local residents. To minimise these impacts, the revised design includes:

  • fewer car spaces within the site to reduce the number of car movements in and out of the precinct
  • a safe school drop-off zone directly adjacent to the school entrance
  • a focus on pedestrian safety and ease of access through the site, including a pedestrian path to the school that avoids the need to walk past the proposed car park entry on Abercrombie Street.

The University is currently in discussions with the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure about the conditions of approval for the project.  

“Subject to approval, we will undertake preliminary work to remove the demountable buildings on Codrington Street later this year,” Mr Robinson said.

“In the meantime, we look forward to continuing discussions with our neighbours and local residents about this leading-edge development.

“I urge everyone who would like to find out more about this exciting project to come and visit us at our information stall at the Eveleigh Market,” said Mr Robinson.

Information on the Abercrombie Precinct is also on display in the foyer of the University’s Services Building, 22 Codrington Street. You can access the foyer between 8.30am and 4.30pm Monday to Friday.
