Map, showing The Cutaway

The Cutaway is a unique below-ground concrete and sandstone space near the waterfront in Barangaroo Reserve.

The Cutaway is currently undergoing a fit-out endorsed by the NSW Government so the space can reach its full potential as one of Sydney’s premier venue for national and international events. The Cutaway is currently scheduled to be completed in December 2025 and we anticipate the first bookings to start from 1st July 2026. 

At this stage we are still unsure when will the rate card, spec sheet and floor plan will be available. If you wish to register your interest, please email venuehire@property.nsw.gov.au.

We will reach out to the list of clients who has registered the interest of the venue once that information becomes available.
