Barangaroo South Public Domain
Barangaroo is one of the most ambitious waterfront urban renewal projects in the world. Located on the western side of Sydney’s CBD, it represents the transformation of a vacant 22 hectare industrial site into a new precinct for Sydney with residential, commercial, retail and recreation uses.
ASPECT | OCULUS produced a public domain master plan for the project that recognises and prioritises the importance of the public realm. Community and stakeholder engagement played an important role in the design process, which returned more than three hectares of water area, including two new coves, to the harbour, while completing the 14-kilometre harbour foreshore walk from Woolloomooloo to Anzac Bridge for the first time in more than a century.

The new public domain at Barangaroo South brings the vision of a connected, sustainable and innovative Sydney one step closer to reality. The design leverages the extension of the city’s street grid into an intimate network of streets and laneways, creating new layers of public activity for the city which respond to topography and circulation. The project introduces balance between density and amenity in a global climate of urban population growth and rapid densification of the city. Disused, disconnected infrastructure has been reimagined as green, thriving and connected public space.
The project leaves Sydney with a tree-lined waterfront that doubles as a multimodal public transport connection, with a ferry terminal that connects to the new Wynyard Walk connection - itself also designed by ASPECT Studios with Woods Bagot.
