Anthony Albanese proposes a new plaza for Sydney as a memorial to Queen Elizabeth II after the monarch’s death


A building in Sydney’s central business district will be removed, and Queen Elizabeth II Place, a new open plaza, will be built in its place.

On Wednesday morning, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet revealed the heartfelt tribute to the late Queen.

The area where the new plaza will be located was made possible by razing an unneeded portion of the old Registrar-General building on Prince Albert Drive. It will be located on Macquarie Street, next to Hyde Park Barracks.

The PM said that renaming the location in her honor was a worthy and respectable tribute.

A Sydney CBD building will be demolished and a new open plaza created in the heart of the city which will be named Queen Elizabeth II Place

‘The building behind us will be knocked over so that there’s an appropriate thoroughfare from the CBD right through to the parks and gardens that makes Sydney such a magnificent Harbour City.

‘This is a great global city and we need to make the most of it. This plan will do that, but it is also a plan to commemorate the life of Queen Elizabeth II.’

Premier Perrottet added: ‘This is a great historical precinct that we’ve worked hard to revitalise.

‘By knocking down this building, we will have this great plaza opened up for the people of NSW to enjoy, to appreciate, but most importantly to remember the service and dedication of Queen Elizabeth to the great people of NSW.’

The former foreign minister shared joyful pictures of herself at an event hosted by the Mineral Resources mining services company on Instagram. According to reports, Ms. Bishop, 65, and her longtime lover David Panton, 61, broke up over dinner on July 1 at a restaurant in Sydney’s central business area. She was all smiles and seemed carefree in the photos shared on Monday night after speaking at a Mineral Resources professional development session. She captioned the photographs, saying, “Addressing employee grads at Mineral Resources’ professional development program, sharing my career story, the sliding-door moments plus a few tips!” Since late June, when she shared images of herself and Mr. Panton dining with Prince Charles in London, Ms. Bishop had not posted anything on Instagram. Ms. Bishop was spotted on Tuesday evening when she arrived in Canberra for the annual John Gee Memorial Lecture at the Australian National University (ANU). A cheerful Ms. Bishop was pictured posing with Rafael Mariano Grossi, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Ms. Bishop, who has been the university chancellor for two and a half years, gave the opening remarks for the event while elegantly attired in a black flowery top, pants, and heels in front of a packed crowd. At the event, which was held in memory of the late diplomat Dr. John Gee, Argentinian Mr. Grossi served as the main speaker. Since her breakup four nights prior, Ms. Bishop had not been seen in public until that moment. She made her first public appearance with Mr. Panton in 2014. Since then, the two have been seen together at a variety of occasions, including Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough’s wedding in 2018. When Mr. Panton declared that the relationship had reached its end on July 1, the couple went out to supper, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
