Barangaroo is one of the most ambitious and significant waterfront greening projects anywhere in the world. It will transform a vacant 22 hectare industrial site into a new precinct for Sydney, with a new public Headland Park on the harbour and a thriving community, residential and commercial heart.

Barangaroo is the last harbourside location in the Sydney CBD able to be redeveloped and a once in a 200 year opportunity for the city. Barangaroo will return more than three hectares of water area, including two new coves, to one of the world's most famous harbours. It completes the 14 kilometre harbour foreshore walk from Woolloomooloo to Anzac Bridge and for the first time in more than a century and restores public access to 1.4 kilometres of that walk. Barangaroo will reaffirm Sydney's standing as Australia's global city, attract new investment and is supported by government, the private sector and the community.

The vision for Barangaroo is for a place to inspire innovation for generations to come. Barangaroo will be climate positive and will reflect the extraordinary context of Sydney– its harbour, diverse communities and globally competitive business leadership. It will be a place designed for play and work alongside living and learning.

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.
