Taronga Zoo
TRANSFORMING A MUCH LOVED VISITOR EXPERIENCE ABOVE TARONGA ZOO
an iconic and unforgettable zoo and harbour experience
Taronga Zoo has been at the heart of Sydney’s community for more than a century. As a world leading Zoological and Conservation organisation, the zoo is located in one of the best and most loved harbours in the world.
Taronga Conservation Society Australia (TCSA) is a recognised world leader in wildlife conservation and tourism and offers expertise, support, education and inspiration in conservation and experience initiatives to visitors from NSW and Australian communities, as well as visitors from around the world.
Since 1987, the Sky Safari has provided families and visitors an experience in connecting up from Sydney Harbour and the ferry, over the steep terrain of the Zoo, to the historic entrance off Bradleys Head Road.
The new Sky Safari Project will transform this into an unforgettable and accessible family experience, through recent NSW State Government funding. The project will attract new and repeat visitors to Taronga Zoo by elevating the overall integrated zoo experience, offering an iconic cable car ride providing guests with panoramic views and the most scenic way to experience the most beautiful natural harbour in the world.
Importantly it will allow a ‘hop on / hop off” way to move guests of all ages and abilities conveniently around different parts of the zoo through the four cable car stations. Through integration of indigenous storytelling and education, the project will enable visitors to learn about the deep history of the land and the conservation work that Taronga Zoo provides.
Scott Carver is providing Lead Architectural and Landscape Architecture design services, collaborating with Kay Elliot Architects, UK (who are leading the creative masterplan process), FCAD (First Nations consultation) and specialist cable car consultants in designing and delivering what will be an iconic and unforgettable zoo and harbour experience.
