Overview

Sussex Lane is turning green for two days only as the City of Sydney looks at ways to create a more sustainable city for us to live in. The laneway will be transformed into a green sanctuary in the heart of our bustling city for Pop Sydney: Sussex Lane, giving you the chance to experience and become inspired by some of the sustainability plans and ideas the City has coming up.

Visitors can learn about energy, water and waste plans, and look at innovations in the area of green infrastructure for a better Sydney. During the day you will be able to relax on the green grass or enjoy a game of bocce over lunch. In the evenings, sit back with a casual drink from one of the small bars in the lane and listen to free public talks which will be held by insightful speakers.

On the Monday evening, Pecha Kucha (drawing its name from the Japanese term ‘chit chat’) lets you listen to how Sydneysiders are making our city more sustainable from a small to large scale. On Tuesday evening, Green Ups is exploring how to 'green' our city through infrastructure and urban ecology, offering ideas, connections, inspiration and support.

To ensure you don’t miss out on one of these free public talks you will need to register at Pop Sydney: Sussex Lane.
