Size

22-hectare land parcel.

1.4 kilometres of Sydney Harbour foreshore.

Development

Barangaroo is being developed in three redevelopment areas – the Headland Park, Barangaroo Central and Northern Cove and Barangaroo South.

Construction is expected to commence late 2011.

Headland Park is expected to open late 2014.

Significant public works and remediation of contaminated underground material will be completed during the development.

Sustainability

A Climate Positive precinct exemplifying the next generation in environmental, economic and social sustainability:

  • A water positive community by recycling and exporting more water than Barangaroo uses;
  • A zero waste community by potentially reusing, reducing recycling more waste (from surrounding area) than Barangaroo generates;
  • A carbon neutral community by generating more renewable energy than total net green house gas emissions from Barangaroo;
  • District infrastructure such as decentralised water recycling, district harbour cooling, trigeneration and new renewable energy generation, providing locally generated services precinct wide and beyond to support the existing built fabric of the CBD;
  • Community wellbeing valuing what matters to people and planet.
