Sydney CBD street furniture to be overhauled for first time in 20 years – Sydney Morning Herald
A major revamp will come at a cost to businesses, commuters and the environment, with many kiosks and billboards headed for landfill.
Sydney lord mayor Clover Moore said last June the change in contract to QMS would modernise the streets and provide significant revenue for the city through ads that appear on the shelters, kiosks and billboards.
Reasons for the complete refurbishment are unclear, given any changeover could leave the city temporarily without revenue from the ads that appear on the furniture.
The bus shelters will be ripped up in the CBD and nearby areas as early as July.Credit:Steven Siewert
