The Place

Dive into the history of Barangaroo. Be part of the future of this remarkable reclamation of Sydney’s western waterfront.

Barangaroo is more than just a destination — it is a place rich with history, culture, and bold visions for the future. Named after Barangaroo, a courageous and spirited Aboriginal woman from the Eora Nation, this waterfront precinct celebrates both Sydney’s Indigenous heritage and its journey through time. For over 100 years, the site was closed to the public, serving as an industrial hub. Today, it has been transformed into a vibrant, sustainable urban precinct that invites locals and visitors alike to explore, connect, and be part of its evolving story.

Step back in time and dive deep into Barangaroo’s past. This area was once a bustling maritime and industrial zone, shaping Sydney’s economy and identity. Yet beneath the concrete and cranes, the stories of the Gadigal people and their deep connection to this land remain alive. The precinct honours this heritage through art, design, and cultural programs, reminding everyone of the important place Barangaroo holds in Aboriginal history.

Looking forward, Barangaroo is a model for sustainability and innovation. Climate commitments and eco-conscious planning have been embedded in every stage of its design and development, from energy-efficient buildings to public green spaces and waste reduction initiatives. Barangaroo sets a new standard for how urban renewal can support the environment while fostering community life.
