A Living Collection - Clover Moore

Clover Moore MP was elected Lord Mayor of Sydney in March 2004 and was re-elected in 2008 with an increased majority.

As Lord Mayor, she chairs the Central Sydney Planning Committee and represents Sydney at the C40 major cities conference established to address global warming.

Under Clover’s leadership, Sustainable Sydney 2030 is introducing environmental, economic, social and cultural measures to promote a thriving and sustainable city, with particular attention to lower emissions, alternative energy and better transport options. Her City is also delivering award winning facilities promoting design excellence and sustainability, and initiating progressive solutions to complex city social problems.

Clover donates her mayoral fees to a Trust set up to provide grants for city based projects and community organisations in need. Clover is also the State Member for Sydney (formerly Bligh), serving her sixth term as an independent member of the NSW Parliament. She champions tolerance and equity. Protecting the natural and urban environment and animal welfare are major priorities.

Frederick Danvers Power’s photograph not only captures Sydney’s past, but suggests what its future might be, with the implementation of Sustainable Sydney 2030.

This blueprint for Sydney, the result of the most detailed research and comprehensive consultation undertaken by the City of Sydney, envisages a pedestrian friendly city heart, with George Street from Circular Quay to Railway Square becoming a thoroughfare for pedestrians, cyclists and light-rail.
