The local historic and social significance of Chinatown's ceremonial gates is set to be officially recognised, following a City of Sydney move to add them to the heritage register. Designed using traditional Chinese materials and ornamentation, the red, green and gold tiled archways on Dixon Street in Haymarket bookend one of Sydney's best-known destinations for Asian food, culture and communities. A project led by the Dixon Street Chinese Committee, the gates were completed in 1980 and formed part of a broader upgrade of the area carried out with the City of Sydney.
