leading the world

Ten reasons why Barangaroo is a "once in 200 years" opportunity for Sydney.

1. An iconic new public place for Sydney – on the harbour, fresh, exciting, welcoming: a great addition to our city;
2. Regeneration of 22 hectares of private industrial wasteland back into public use, including 2.2km of harbour walkways and a new harbour-side park – achieved at zero cost to taxpayers and ratepayers;
3. A multi-billion dollar economic stimulus for Sydney, with thousands of new jobs created in fields such as construction, retail, and hospitality, financial services with opportunities for apprenticeships and job skilling; 
4. Nearly 3,000 direct and indirect jobs relating to the construction phase and a net increase of over 6,000 additional  jobs* once the project is completed; 
5. One of the greenest residential, leisure and business centre in the world; a world leading example of sustainability, including carbon neutral, water positive and zero waste targets; 
6. A new Western gateway to the CBD, offering improved transport links;
7. New, sustainable high quality commercial space to support the needs of a growing City, which is critical for meeting the forecast demand for Sydney office space over the next 10 years;
8. Increases Australia’s competitiveness in the South East Asian region and supports Sydney’s role as Australia’s financial centre by adding world class buildings to the City, designed to meet the exacting requirements of today’s leading international financial and professional services business; 
9. Adds to the diversity and attractiveness of the City for Sydney residents and visitors, with a new waterfront meeting place and cultural centre; 
10. A catalyst for a change in how Sydney is seen on the world stage and how Sydneysiders see the City – a similar impact as the 2000 Olympics achieved.
