Right in the middle of the crossroad pedestrian zone connecting buses to trains
Would be a shame if it were to get damaged somehow??

Lighten up mate, not the end of the world
Who would own this technically? Does the local government lease the space to the advertising firm who then sells ads on the signage?
Gee I get PTSD of those eyesore ugly pedestrian billboards from City of Sydney, the ones Clover Moore continuously defended and refused to heed people’s criticism.
With things like advertising billboards sucking up pedestrian space, E-bike riders allowed to freely terrorise pedestrians with no consequence despite not legal to ride on footpath PLUS let’s forget how punishing pedestrian traffic lights are giving you like 3 seconds to cross otherwise wait a few mins, it seems Sydney as a whole has a high level of contempt for pedestrians.
“What are advertisements, but the rich’s graffiti”
Are you sure they’re not fixing something that’s in the middle of the barrier and have just sold the space for advertising while it’s blocked off? I’ve seen it in other countries before.
Who cares?
It’s even worse than it looks because it blocks multiple lines of sight directing travellers through the interchange. Look at the Bus stop directions on the rail bridge, those behind the screen can’t spot it
It also blocks the bus station from the train station (from left to right in the pic)
Ads obstructing pedestrians are seriously annoying. The ones in the CBD are the worst since the footpaths are narrow enough as it is.
# “Any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It belongs to you. It’s yours to take, rearrange and re-use. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. [You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy.

Edit: sorry about the formatting but I don’t know how to fix it. The quote is attributed to Banksy
I’ll take the free box from hello fresh thanks
This actually turned me off of whatever they’re advertising.
I remember seeing something like this at World Square in the city earlier in the year. Can’t wait for this to be the new norm. /s Wonder if they’ll install a few of them once the Town Hall redevelopment is done (is that going ahead, or just a concept?). Maybe a few dotted around the Opera House?
Lol hello fresh getting despo
You must be new to Chatswood. They literally have stuff in that spot all the time. Last month it was. Lunar New Year stand.
Inb4 they start flood gating the pedestrian.
“Please press button to open gate and view this 20 second ad along the way before you reach the next gate in 100 meters.”
More entertaining than crowds of friends congregating in the same space and getting in everybody’s way
I just saw Roof Man. Maybe someone is living in there.
OP doing some grassroots advertising for hellofresh here.
And just like that. You’ve amplified their ad.
Anyone else feel like some Hello Fresh?
Ads are taking over social media and now real life, we don’t want your shitty products!
State government simply doesn’t give a shit. They removed all the seating from upper levels of North Sydney Station. A family member is disabled. We complained to TFNSW they said it was not a problem. We complained to the disability commissioner and TFNSW changed to “it’s for security “ and refused on security grounds to explain.
CUNTS!
I cut down some advertisements that had been cable tied to road signs on my street the other day.
Nothing a portable saw can’t fix
They don’t get the shot of the stairs they took this from. On Saturday night the entire flight were also being decked out with the same advertising
