Barangaroo South Sustainability Report 2021 - 2023
Barangaroo today From its humble beginnings as a disused container terminal, Barangaroo South has transformed Sydney’s waterfront landscape into a dynamic cultural, retail and financial precinct. Lendlease has worked closely with the NSW Government to deliver the final public spaces, including an extension to the waterfront promenade Wulugul Walk, Watermans Cove and Hickson Park. The vast majority of public domain has now been delivered at Barangaroo South – spanning around 26,000 square metres – which is open and accessible to all to enjoy and explore. Watermans Cove Opened to the public in September 2020, Watermans Cove offers one of Sydney’s greatest and most distinctive urban waterfront experiences. This space connects pedestrian movement with opportunities for people to spend time in a landscaped environment and enjoy views across the water. The vast and welcoming space offers extensive amenities, including a new pier. The boardwalk, steps and stone form an amphitheatre activating Wulugul Walk, and a variety of distinct zones that can be programmed for specific uses, including major public events and celebrations. Hickson Park The expansive 6,000 square metre Hickson Park opened in December 2020, providing the public with a significant, open and flexible green space to seek respite from city life. The neighbourhood park has been created using a selection of materials and furniture inspired by the beautiful existing material palette at the Barangaroo Reserve, shaded by extensive plantings of predominantly native trees. Hickson Park offers new gathering and outdoor dining spaces for year- round enjoyment by visitors, workers and residents to Barangaroo, with endless opportunities to connect with place through public art. 17 Sustainability Report 2021–23 Barangaroo South SHAPING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
