BARANGAROO HEADLAND RETURNED TO THE PEOPLE OF NSW

Barangaroo Point Reserve

Sydney CBD’s new six-hectare Harbour foreshore park officially opened this week. The opening of the park, called Barangaroo Point Reserve, by NSW Premier Mike Baird, marked the return of this foreshore to the public for the first time in more than 100 years.

“Barangaroo Reserve is a stunning new park that will give current and future generations a new place to enjoy the best harbour in the world,” Mr Baird said.

“It’s hard to imagine that just a few years ago this new green headland was an ugly, locked-off relic of Sydney’s industrial past.

“The challenge of recreating a naturalistic headland has rarely been attempted anywhere else in the world, let alone in a city the size of Sydney and on the world’s best known harbour.

“This headland has now been restored to a beauty befitting its surrounds - I’m delighted to hand it back to the people of NSW.”

To make the opening a Welcome Walk and Welcome Party will be held in the park on September 6. While both are free events registration is essential for the Welcome Party. For more information and to register visit barangaroo.sydney
