Over the years, there have been several visions to give Circular Quay a facelift, many of which have never become a reality, either in part or in whole.
Below is one vision from 1972 that was published in The Daily Telegraph. In summary, the vision was to:
- Renovate the wharves with glazing (renovations did not occur until the 1990s, and Wharf 3 was rebuilt in the 1980s to accommodate the Freshwater Class ferries and their automated gangways.)
- Covered walkway from the Sydney Opera House would be extended down to the Cahill Expressway.
- A waterfront public square, tavern and restaurant along the waterfront at East Circular Quay.
- New paving
- Electric Train with open-air carriages (carnival style)
- New lighting
