Cool bus shelters, self-cleaning toilets: What to expect from Sydney’s latest refresh | zoesam93
However, the company behind the revamp is hoping the outcome is worth the wait.
Bus shelters with technology to keep commuters cool in the summer months and self-cleaning toilets are all part of the change, which media sources previously said cost north of $100 million to complete. The new accessible toilets will have green roofs, designed to keep the toilet cool and improve the amount of greenery in the area and the city will have fewer kiosks - which Fairhurst says is due to reduced demand.
Each screen, toilet and kiosk is running on 100 per cent renewable energy and the infrastructure used is made from highly recyclable materials, which were requirements under the city’s 2030 sustainability vision . “We have built the capability of this network around where we believe technology is going,” says Jemma Enright, QMS’ general manager for City of Sydney. “It’s cloud-based. You can get real time data that means that the need to actually capture environment through sensors, cameras, hardware that sits on the panel itself is reduced.”
