Welcome to issue
16 of Barangaroo
South News. This
month, we have
reached a
significant
construction
milestone with the completion of
the Tower 2 core.
The core is the heart of the building and
houses the lifts and the fire stairwells. You
may have seen a tree painted onto the
level 42 core - this symbolises what is
known in the industry as a ‘topping out
ceremony.’ This is borne out of an ancient
Scandinavian religious rite where people
used to place a tree at the top of a new
building to appease the tree-dwelling
spirits potentially displaced in its
construction. When the building floors
reach level 42 next year, a ceremony will
be held and a tree, sustainably grown
especially for this purpose, will be placed
on the roof of the tower.
The team recently announced that Matt
Moran will be opening a unique three
storey dining experience at Barangaroo
South, see page 2 to hear more about his
vision along with a number of other
exciting retail announcements.
Finally, the team has been out and about in
the local community and taking the time to
work with a local school to revamp their
classrooms and playground, you can read
about this initiative on page 4.
Thank you for your support during
2014. We hope you have enjoyed
reading Barangaroo South News
this year.

Barangaroo South completes its most ambitious Community Day project to date

Work Experience Program inspires next generation careers
With over 1,800 construction workers
engaged in transforming Barangaroo
South, the site has been a hive of
activity this year. Great progress has
been made and all three commercial
towers are starting to rise and take
their position in the city skyline. The
first two residential buildings along the
waterfront, Anadara and Alexander,
have also started to take shape.
As the year draws to a close, the
construction activity on the project will slow
down significantly over the Christmas
break, however, minor works will still be
carried out on non-public holiday days.
Standard construction will continue as usual
up to 7pm on Tuesday 23 December and
recommence again on Monday 5 January.
The period between these dates will be used
as a time for completing low level works such
as plant maintenance, resurfacing of internal
site roads, internal fit out and electrical works
inside the towers. There should be no noise
impacts for surrounding residents as a result
of this work. Construction during the non-
public holidays will be carried out between
7am and 7pm.
Should you wish to contact a member
of the Barangaroo South team during
the Christmas period, please call
