Sustainable Sydney 2030 establishes Green Square as a leading example of environmental, social and economic sustainability. It aims to ensure environmental improvement in renewal areas also improve the environmental performance of the City as a whole.

Building on the strengths of adjoining neighbourhoods, Green Square will support residential and business activities and will provide improved public transport connections.

The project shows the potential for preserving a fine detailed streetscape along the currently industrial and under-used Alexandra Canal, and proposes a new park and green links for walking and cycling extending south to Botany Bay and north through Newtown to the harbour.

Green Square will become a leading example of sustainable development and living.
