Harbour Park Design Competition

At the heart of Central Barangaroo, will be Harbour Park, a 1.85 hectare public space on Sydney’s foreshore. The NSW Government is inviting teams from around Australia and beyond to prepare a design that responds to our vision for the park. This is an exciting and rare opportunity to design a public space that sits on Sydney’s famous harbour edge and will be part of a foreshore that includes icons such as Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House.

In our modern world of city landscapes of redeveloped and ever-changing private spaces, the key component that remains at the heart of the city’s function and beauty is the importance of our public spaces
– The Hon. Paul Keating, former Prime Minister of Australia and Design Jury Chair
