Luna Park listed on State Heritage Register
Luna Park, located on Sydney's northern foreshore adjacent to Sydney Harbour Bridge and one of Australia's best known amusement parks, has been listed on the State Heritage Register.
Originally opened in 1935, the park was reopened in April 1994 following a major refurbishment and restoration programme, but still boasts its famous entrance face and towers and art deco style.
Formally announcing the move to list the site, Premier Kristina Keneally said: "Luna Park is a Sydney cultural icon which is an excellent example of amusement park and fantasy architecture in the Art Deco style of the 1930s, which provides colour and life alongside the harbour."
Two other iconic Sydney landmarks have also been listed, the Queen Victoria Building, built in the 1890s and now home to a shopping centre, and Sydney Town Hall, built between 1869-1889.
"These three sites embody the history and identity of Australia's global city," said Keneally. "This will also ensure that they are protected and can be enjoyed for generations to come. It is impossible to think about Sydney without these three landmarks.
