‘On average our suburb is 6 degrees warmer than it should be. These high
temperatures are created by the absorption of heat from dark-coloured roads,
roofs and other human-made surfaces.

This is shown in the thermal imaging photos of Chippendale taken by the City of
Sydney in 2009. The scale moves from blue to red, where the darkest blue is less
than 23 degrees and the deepest red is over 33 degrees. It’s the road surfaces that
stand out in this image. They consistently hit the top of the thermal scale over 33
degrees.’

So how do we cool our roads? The good news is it’s quite straightforward:
Upgrade the surfaces of our roads so that they reflect rather than absorb
heat
Increase tree cover through biodiverse tree planting schemes
Material colour and reflectivity impact on surface temperature

FROGS
Six frog species are currently known to live in the City of Sydney
area: the Striped Marsh Frog, the Common Eastern Froglet, the
Peron’s Tree Frog, the Dart Frog, the Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog, and
the Green and Golden Bell Frog.
NATIVE BEES
About 200 native bee species are found in the Sydney region.
Almost all are solitary, and nest in small holes in the ground, old
mortar, mud bricks, timber, hollow stems, or in old borer holes.
Although solitary, many will often nest together in one place, with
each female in a separate nest.
SMALL BIRDS
The City had 12 recorded small bird species at last count in 2017.
These included, in low numbers, the Superb Fairy-wren, New
Holland Honeyeater, Silvereye, Spotted Pardalote, Rufous Fantail,
Redbrowed Finch, Fairy Martin, Golden-headed Cisticola and when
migrating, the White-plumed Honeyeater.
BUTTERFLIES
Of the approximately 400 butterfly species in Australia, over 100
are found in the Sydney region, including the Common Jezebel,
Australian Painted Lady, Yellow Admiral, Citrus Swallowtail, Zebra
Blue, Splendid Ochre, Blue Triangle and Monarch.
LIZARDS
Nine lizard species are currently found in Sydney. Of these, only
three small skinks – the Wall Skink, the Dark-flecked Garden
Sunskink and the Paleflecked Garden Sunskink.
INSECTS
In addition to butterflies and bees, there are thousands of other
insects and invertebrates inhabiting almost any garden, no matter
how small. All of them play an important role in keeping Sydney’s
gardens and the local environment healthy.

Blackwattle Creek (history)

Detail from a map of the City of Sydney by Woolcott & Clarke, 1854. Blackwattle Cove can be seen at the top of the image, between Lyndhurst and
the Ultimo Estate. Blackwattle Creek enters the bay at approximately the base of Cowper St. Waterways flowing into the Creek can be seen at Grose
Farm (now Victoria Park) and near the Brewery close to Parramatta Rd near Abercrombie Place, amongst others (source: Historical Atlas of Sydney).

Gadigal Painting – Sydney District

St. Vincent’s Health Australia commissioned Aboriginal

Elder, Charles Madden, to create this painting which
depicts the five Sisters sent by Mary Aikenhead be-
ing welcomed by a Gadigal family onto their land. The
many symbols on the art work represent the spiritual-
ity and way of life of the Gadigul people and the Eora
Nation. Some of these symbols still remain etched into
the natural rock formations of the Sydney basin.
The Government acknowledges the Gadigal of the
Eora Nation as the traditional custodians of this place
we now call Sydney. There are about 29 clan groups of
the Sydney metropolitan area, referred to collectively
as the Eora Nation. The Gadigal are a clan of the Eora
Nation.
The territory of the Gadi (gal) people stretched along
the southern side of Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour)
from South Head to around what is now known as Pe-
tersham. Their southern boundary is unclear.
The ‘Eora people’ was the name given to the coastal
Aboriginal people around Sydney. The word Eora sim-
ply means ‘here’ or ‘from this place’. Local Aboriginal
people used the word to describe to the British where
they came from and so the word was then used to de-
fine the Aboriginal people themselves. The name Eora
is proudly used today by the descendants of those
very same people. Central Sydney is therefore often
referred to as ‘Eora Country’.
With the invasion of the Sydney region, the Gadigal
people were decimated but there are descendants of
the Eora still living in Sydney today. The surrounding
bushland contains remnants of traditional plant, bird
and animal life with fish and rock oysters available
from Blackwattle Bay.

AADC: Picture of painting was sourced from the book

“Sisters of Charity of Australia 175 Years”.

POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY

TECTONICS: what are the prevalent construction/material “systems” and their design implications?

On the territory there is a detached three-story mixed-use warehouse and a kindergarten. The kindergarten adjoining the warehouse, located at 60
Pine Street, is a two-story building. Wooden-brick house with a metal roof, it is planned to be demolished.
The warehouse is built of facing bricks (painted grey) with load-bearing walls erected up to its side borders. It is a simple and narrow rectangular
shape, with the front of the main street facing north towards Myrtle Street and overlooking the park. Its exterior is characterized by vertical pedimented
pilasters dividing the façade into repeating niches, a roof parapet with horizontal details, and wooden windows with double sashes and transoms. Its
rear façade is devoid of any details or windows. The interior space of the warehouse is currently used for open space office. The rooms have a
modern finish with some traditional touches. The east end of the first floor has a garage and a service wing (formerly a fire escape but now a
bathroom) that extends beyond the main form of the building.
