2 Naming Community Facilities We are asking the community to help us name two key sites on the former South Sydney Hospital Site.

Joynton Creative Studios - Joynton was a local philanthropist who started the hospital and raised the funds and was President for 0 years and the facility is on Joynton Avenue. Dubara the Aboriginal work for paint. Other suggestions The Pathology Building will become a Community Shed. Community sheds (men s/ women s) are a growing initiative targeting retires in our community, that cannot work full time or live in areas of high density with little access to outdoor space or sheds. The men s shed movement has been well established across Australia (and overseas) and has proven to bring extensive benefi ts to participants. These positive benefi ts include reducing isolation and the risk of suffering from depression. Site History Opened in the former Royal South Sydney Hospital is an example of a late Federation, pavilion style hospital complex.
