what barangaroo south means for sydney

Barangaroo is a vital new development of the western edge of Sydney’s central business district and will provide extraordinary benefits for the city, New South Wales and Australia.

It is a once in a 200 year opportunity to create a vibrant new place to live work and visit and provides capacity for the city to grow – creating new jobs, stimulating growth and boosting our economy.  It also returns this previously private industrial space to the community, including a new naturalistic harbour park and over 2 kilometres of public waterfront.

Barangaroo is divided into three areas – a southern precinct which will feature residential apartments, office buildings, cultural facilities, shops, a hotel and a dynamic public realm; a central area which will include a major waterfront park and low rise mixed use development; and the most northerly third being the restored headland and northern cove.

Lend Lease's vision for Barangaroo South – the southern 7.5 hectares of the 22-hectare former container port – is to become the greenest global residential and business centre in the world. It will complete the 14 kilometres of harbourfront walkway wrapping around the Sydney foreshore from Woolloomooloo Bay to the Anzac Bridge. In terms of transportation, it means extensive new cycleways, a large bicycle park, the planned arrival of a new light rail system and new ferry services, links to Wynyard and improved pedestrian streetscapes. It will link the city to the western harbourfront, and provide spectacular city skyline views from Balmain, Rozelle and Pyrmont.

We are creating a great people place that all of Sydney can be proud of, restoring the waterfront, respecting our environment, showcasing innovation, creating new jobs, providing an opportunity for all Sydneysiders – a project and future that belongs to all of Sydney.

Creating a new western gateway to the city

Barangaroo South will have a mix of uses, with commercial and residential buildings as well as shops, cafes, restaurants, cultural activities and public places. It will be a dynamic and authentic part of Sydney.

Just imagine, in the southern section of Barangaroo, thousands of people working, relaxing at home, shopping, dining or strolling along Sydney’s best waterfront. In the central area, people playing sport, picnicking and studying, and at the northern end, people reflecting on Sydney’s history, and taking in the spectacular Harbour views from a natural headland.

Barangaroo South will:

• Deliver a multi-billion dollar stimulus for Sydney at no cost to taxpayers and ratepayers;
• Provide employment opportunities and job skilling for thousands of people;
• Deliver a climate positive and carbon neutral outcome, pioneering a new era in sustainability and setting new benchmarks for other cities to follow; and
• Further develop Sydney’s role as Australia’s financial capital, increasing its competitiveness in the South East Asian region and progressing its reputation as a centre for innovation, professional and financial services.
