VIBRANT AND
CONNECTED
The centre of a new world class
entertainment precinct and the
centrepiece of Sydney’s vision for
the future – it’s all happening at
Darling Harbour.
The gleaming new ICC Sydney will be the heart of this
emerging and vibrant precinct. It’s flanked by the brand new ICC
Sydney Hotel and Darling Square, a new city neighbourhood to
the south and the waters of Cockle Bay to the north.
Connected to and through the city by a bustling boulevard,
centred around the expanded green space of Tumbalong Park
and glittering harbour at Cockle Bay, Darling Harbour is a place
for locals and visitors, of all ages, to enjoy day and night.
Darling Harbour is only a short walk from local attractions such
as Chinatown, Central Station and UTS with its iconic new Frank
Gehry building. It’s also just one minute walk to Sydney’s light rail
network and bus connections; seven minutes to Central Station
and Town Hall; and 10 minutes to the new financial services hub
at Barangaroo.
The Boulevard, approximately 20 metres wide, runs directly
through all of this, connecting the harbour to Central. It creates
a new space to showcase the best Sydney has to offer, and
links to the new east-west connections of Tumbalong Place and
Harbourside Place.
Darling Harbour is the only place to experience the excitement of
a red-carpet event, the bustle of a top ticket industry conference.
This is where the atmosphere of a festival of lights, sound, film,
food or music will radiate throughout the year. This is where
people gather and get together in large or small groups, enjoy
fantastic food, and soak up the lively atmosphere of an exciting
new Darling Harbour.
