A wonderful initiative three years in the making will soon be unveiled at Equality Green in Surry Hill’s Prince Alfred Park as work has been underway for the planned 90-metre rainbow pathway, a permanent tribute to the LGBTIQA+ community.
In a post on Facebook, the Surry Hills Creative Precinct Inc. showed a 3D photo of the rainbow path installation.
It won’t be long before Sydneysiders can take a rainbow stroll on the very site where they celebrated the passing of the Marriage Equality law in 2017, with more than 30,000 votes.
Amidst the pandemic, officials in the City of Sydney and the Surry Hills Creative Precinct Inc. planned to commemorate this monumental vote with the rainbow pathway.
“The path will represent both the progress we have made towards equality and the long way to go before our LGBTIQ communities are free of discrimination,” Lord Mayor Clover Moore said during the announcement of the project, which was followed by a public consultation.
This will be the second rainbow pathway in Sydney after the installation in the intersection of Bourke and Campbell streets in Darlinghurst.
A third colourful walkway, stretching 50-metres long, will also be unveiled at Coogee Beach promenade in mid-February 2021 in time for the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras celebrations.
