Sydney's Chinatown gates to be granted heritage status

The iconic ceremonial gates of Sydney's Chinatown, located at each end of the Dixon Street precinct’s northern and southern sides in Haymarket, Australia, will be granted heritage status as part of a plan to help revitalize Chinatown. Driving the news: The local Australian government set out to grant the Chinatown gates heritage status after public consultation, which saw respondents describe Dixon Street as “the heart of Chinatown” and the gates themselves as “welcoming and culturally symbolic,” according to Time Out Sydney. The move, part of the Sydney City Council’s proposed 44-million-Australian-dollar ($28.85 million) Haymarket and Chinatown revitalization strategy, reportedly began in 2020 when Chinatown saw dwindling numbers of visitors due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
