About Chippendale
Chippendale is a small inner-city suburb of
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia on the
southern edge of the Sydney central business
district, in the local government area of the City
of Sydney.
Chippendale is located between Broadway to
the north and Cleveland Street to the south,
Sydney Central railway station to the east and
the University of Sydney to the west.
The eastern side of Chippendale, being
adjacent to the CBD has a greater mix use than
other parts of the suburb. It includes smaller
offices and warehouses as well as cafes and
pubs.
Chippendale has also more recently become
known as one of the key creative art districts of
Sydney, with more than a dozen galleries in the
small neighbourhood (including White Rabbit
Gallery, MOP Projects, and Pine Street
Creative Arts Centre). Various creative events
in the suburb also take place each year such as
the Beams Festival. Artist residencies were
offered with the cooperation of Frasers during
the construction of Central Park and
Chippendale houses a lively creative
community.
