City of Sydney Model

Really grand model in the Town Hall building. The scale is 1:500.

The City of Sydney model is one of the finest urban models of its kind. It includes all existing buildings and proposed building development in the Sydney local government area. The model can be used to test shadows and sun access. The model is constructed from timber and plastics and finished with automative paint.

The buildings in the model are colour coded according to their current building and development status as follows:

cream-coloured: existing development
brown: individual heritage buildings
blue: development approval (construction not commenced)
red: under construction 
white: pending development approval and building study envelopes
