QMS has signed a 10 year lease with council for $450m so they pay council $45m per year plus CPI increases, so bugger the pedestrians they can walk on the road, you can find the article in the financial review just google it

Sydney city is messy enough as it is, compared to Melbourne and the like.

I’d imagine renting out ad space on building walls is potentially more efficient and lucrative compared to building these, but maybe a deal was reached.

Wonder if the council will reveal expenditure/return (or maybe they have already).

Thanks!
I’ve noted `ref=none` when the physical panel doesn’t have a silver metal plaque on the inside of the leg, containing a short code. I’m not sure what this means – whether they’re just still getting built. I’m also unsure if this affects/is affected by the pause of the rollout.

So great! Love it. Thank you for your work. Would be very interested to know what it means when a panel is missing it’s Ref code.
