City of Sydney

City of Sydney 360 Posters

Advertising - Outdoor, Retail, POS | Commissioner: City of Sydney | Creator: Frost*collective

The City of Sydney is a Local Government Authority, which operates five truly beautiful and world-class pools, with attached fitness centres: Boy Charlton, Ian Thorpe, Victoria Park, Cook & Philip, and Prince Alfred Park. Previously, each facility sold their memberships independently and being a member of one did not provide members with access to any of the other facilities run by the City of Sydney. The opportunity for the City of Sydney was to create cross-facility membership offers that compete with other gyms with multiple locations (like local market leaders, Fitness First), as well as group training ‘bootcamps’. In a sense, there was an opportunity to create a ‘club’, brought to Sydney-siders by the City of Sydney. Membership to this ‘club’ could offer access to all of the pools, gyms facilities, classes, crèches and so on, at each of the facilities run by the City of Sydney.

Sydney Park water reuse project

Environmental Design | Commissioner: City of Sydney | Creator: City of Sydney

The $11.3 million upgrade will allow around 850 million litres of stormwater a year to be captured and cleaned. The project will deliver the City's largest water harvesting system, and help the City of Sydney achieve our 2030 target for 10% of water demand to be met through local water capture and reuse. This project was funded by the City of Sydney and built in partnership with the Australian Government through the National Urban Water and Desalination Plan.

Sydney Culture Walks is the ideal companion for discovering the city on foot - discover hidden laneways and new neighbourhoods while learning about Sydney's fascinating history and the stories behind the city's most loved public artworks. The app guides users on walks through the inner suburbs of Sydney, highlighting historical buildings and public artworks with deep information and rich photos, video and audio content.

Sydney Food Trucks

Digital Experience - Mobile | Commissioner: City of Sydney | Creator: We Make Apps

The Sydney Food Trucks app is all about helping hungry Sydneysiders find their nearest or favourite food truck! Through the app, users can see the current and upcoming locations of nearly 20 food trucks throughout the Sydney's inner suburbs. There's menus, tweets and instagram pics from the trucks, a schedule of upcoming locations - and users can choose to get notified when their favourite truck is in the area, or when any truck is at one of their local haunts. The app has been a boon for the operators of the trucks. They have their own app to set their location and current serving status, and a website to manage their menu and info screens. The project was commissioned by the City of Sydney's far-sighted digital marketing team and executed by boutique agency We Make Apps.
