The Cutaway

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

One of Sydney’s most unique event spaces, the Cutaway is a large concrete and sandstone below-ground venue underneath Barangaroo Reserve. 

Minutes from Barangaroo Reserve and the waterfront you’ll find a 120 metre long underground space. This is the Cutaway. 

This super-sized concrete venue is one of Sydney and Barangaroo’s premier large event spaces, and can be transformed however you choose to blow guests away at your next event. 

Introducing Sydney’s most unique large event space

To create the foreshore of Sydney’s newest waterfront reserve, Barangaroo Reserve, over 10,000 ancient sandstone blocks were excavated from underneath the reserve, mostly from the site that is now the Cutaway. 

The result is a super-sized below-ground space with a concrete floor that leads to a towering ancient sandstone wall that opens to the skies. This venue is a fundamental part of the city’s recreated north-western headland.

The Cutaway is currently offline

The Cutaway is currently closed for construction to create a new cultural facility spanning 3 levels and includes event and gallery spaces, a dedicated First Nations education space, back-of-house facilities, amenities and offices. There is also a new façade adjacent to Nawi Cove, including landscaping. Works will be completed in 2025. You can read more here.
