| description | The area of Sydney possesses natural assets, which have enabled numerous planning developments on the foreshore. They were a subject for rough discussions between the government of New South Wales, Sydney city hall and the inhabitants. The end of the 1980s left its mark on the controversial renewal of one of the historical gateways of the city, in Darling Harbour, nowadays a recreational place as well as a convention center. Since the 1990s, Circular Quay or Wollomooloo developments have been under urban renovation and have been the result of different, often opposing, visions of planning issues. The extreme allotment of competences on the foreshore benefits to the government, which therefore can impose its conception on the future of the city, and beyond, on the Sydney region. Furthermore, since the passing of the “EPA and A” in 2005, the Minister for Planning can impose developments considered as essential for New South Wales. Local governments opted for workaround strategies by either appealing to the federal government or systematically resorting to residents groups who rally against main urban developments put forward by the private sector and / or the government. In Sydney, the interests of property developers are quite significant. The inhabitants managed to resist to programs they consider as threatening their way of life. The call to the unions, Internet campaigns and heavy rallying are the benchmarks of citizen involvement, around many Sydney foreshore developments.We will then suggest that several representations of development are combining together balance of powers and conflict between actors. |
