Barangaroo is a site of State significance. Its renewal will achieve the following outcomes for the public of New South Wales.
ECONOMY
- Revive the location as a trade gateway.
- Refocus attention on Sydney in order to attract new regional and global headquarters.
- Leverage the next long term phase of Sydney’s economic growth.
ENVIRONMENT
- Create a new Headland Park providing green space for the CBD and reinstating the archipelago of green headlands of the western harbour.
- Provide a leadership example for waterfront urban renewal and the role governments can play in delivering sustainability.
- Deliver a Climate Positive precinct that values the wellbeing of people and the planet.
- being water positive, exporting more water than it uses;
- generating zero waste, and potentially recycling waste from the surrounding area; and
- achieving carbon neutrality by generating more renewable energy than we use – equivalent to taking 36,000 cars off the road each year.
