动物园主要上入口的设计包括增设游客泊车位、新巴士及旅游巴士湾及专用巴士泊车位、新的“外广场”行人区、文物翻新上入口处大楼及电车棚，以及新的公众通道“内广场”，作为进入动物园的分解区。新建筑包括一家商店和一家咖啡馆，以及一座“设施楼”，包括售票、信息、出租、厕所和办公室，以及对分局本身及其毗邻的展品的解释。

The design of the main upper entry to the Zoo involved provision of additional visitor parking, a new bus and coach bay and dedicated coach parking, a new ‘outer plaza’ pedestrian area, heritage refurbishment of the upper entrance building and tram shed and a new public access ‘inner plaza’ operating as a decomposition zone on entry to the zoo. New buildings include a shop and café, and a ‘facilities building’ housing ticketing sales, information, hire, toilets and offices along with interpretation of the precinct itself and the exhibits immediately adjacent to it.

该提案力求利用和应对该网站的超乎寻常的潜力。设计原则强调：？“墙”？动物园作为花园的围场？砂岩高原？俯瞰动物园的被动边缘？不仅在视觉上，而且在使用方面，遗产建筑的意义？巨大的无花果树？花园中展馆的历史传统。

The proposal seeks to engage with and respond to the extraordinary potential of the site. Design principals put emphasis on: -- The ‘wall’ - the zoo as a garden enclosure -- The sandstone plateau - a passive edge overlooking the zoo -- The significance of the heritage building not just visually but in terms of use -- Giant fig trees -- The historical tradition of the pavilion in a garden
