Premier Gladys Berejiklian said opening up the foreshore and new Watermans Cove was a fundamental part of Barangaroo’s transformation into a world-class, waterfront precinct.
“It is with great excitement that we can release this stunning piece of the Sydney Harbour foreshore for the people of NSW to enjoy,” Ms Berejiklian said.
“Watermans Cove is a completely public space, and with steps down towards the water, it’s an incredible place for residents, workers and tourists to relax and take in the sights of our beautiful city.”
Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said Barangaroo is the most important urban renewal project to happen in Australia in decades, transforming a once neglected and inaccessible area of the city into a dynamic cultural, residential, business and retail hub.
“Watermans Cove delivers more than a hectare of permanent and priceless waterfront parkland for the citizens of Sydney,” Mr Stokes said.
“Our vision is for public space to link our harbour all the way from Rozelle Bay to Woolloomooloo Bay. Watermans Cove liberates one of the final missing links in making this vision a reality”.
Watermans Cove and the foreshore were designed and delivered by Lendlease and Crown Resorts in partnership with the NSW Government and will provide space for events, celebrations and entertainment as well as leisure activities by the water’s edge.
