Climate commitments and sustainability define how planning and design approaches shape the entire Barangaroo precinct.
At the turn of the 21st century, Barangaroo was a disused container terminal – a physical barrier to the Western Harbour. Today, it is a dynamic cultural, residential, business and civic hub.
This once-in-a-lifetime transformation is led by the NSW Government, partnering with world-leading developers, architects and creators.
When complete, more than 50% of the precinct will feature extraordinary public open spaces alongside world-class sustainable architecture, public art, and new places for people to live, work, dine out or relax.
Barangaroo encompasses three unique and interconnected precincts: Barangaroo South, Central Barangaroo and Barangaroo Reserve. It offers access from the Barangaroo Ferry Wharf, with a Barangaroo Sydney Metro station opening in 2024. Wynyard Walk offers an underground pedestrian short cut between Wynyard and Barangaroo South.
The western waterfront of Sydney Harbour has a new lease on life through one of the most sustainable, collaborative and creative approaches in NSW.
Follow the timeline of reclaiming Barangaroo from a decommissioned industrial site to a thriving commercial, residential and community precinct.
Barangaroo’s transformation is driven by a focus on what people want from a place and how to genuinely incorporate sustainable design. A partnership approach with the world’s best architects, landscapers and builders has seen the contribution of more than 10 million construction hours to return this waterfront precinct to the public.
