Head Construction Contractor - Green Park Renewal

The City of Sydney invites Requests for Tender for the carrying out of Construction Works for the Green Park Renewal in accordance with this request. Project Overview Green Park is a significant green space in Darlinghurst, heavily used by a broad cross-section of the community including local dog-walkers and commuters, hospital visitors, rough sleepers and people enjoying calm recreation and reflection. Green Park has been identified as part of the parks and playgrounds improvement program. The project brief is to refurbish the park to create a high quality, inclusive and accessible open space, and includes the restoration of the heritage bandstand and the creation of an AIDS memorial garden. This Project includes an upgrade and renewal of Green Park, improving the existing green space to support a variety of uses and improve access for everyone. The park's bandstand will be preserved and refurbished, and a new AIDS memorial garden will form part of its renewed landscape. The Project will include pathway and circulation improvements, improved lighting, new seating, increased planting and refurbished turf and ground treatments. The key components for this Project are: - Park upgrade prioritises significant trees and urban canopy cover while improving access and retaining the heritage value of the park; - Transformation of the bandstand to restore its public focus and improve access around it while demonstrating a sensitivity to its setting; and - Developing a new AIDS Memorial garden which is integrated into the park landscape and invites reflection, commemoration, and healing.
