Recent debate over a potential name change for Sydney’s Prince Alfred Park reflects the growing desire of many Australians to see public places renamed to reflect a modern nation.
In November last year, 30 000 Australians gathered in Prince Alfred Park to hear the result of the national vote on same sex-marriage, with many wanting to rename the park to memorialise this.
The proposed name, Equality Green, was unanimously accepted by the Sydney City Council earlier this month, and will be an enduring reminder of its meaning for the LGBTQI community.
