Central Barangaroo public spaces revamped in new masterplan
The Barangaroo developers have released a new masterplan for Central Barangaroo in a bid to assure Sydneysiders they will not be encroaching on public land.
The aim is to have 50% of the 5.2 hectares of land in the Central Barangaroo site publicly accessible.

The masterplan now includes a new waterfront park and event spaces.
Central Barangaroo will include 2.6 hectares of waterfront public space and a 14 kilometre foreshore promenade stretching from Woolloomooloo to the Anzac Bridge.

“The refined master plan framework provides the opportunity for Central to be more active and engaging, with greater flexibility allowing for a diversity of uses. Central will provide a platform for events such as live music, festivals and outdoor art exhibitions,” chief of the Barangaroo Delivery Authority, John Tabart says.

The plan includes the preservation of a site for future use as a music venue.
There is a network of laneways to ensure pedestrian access to the foreshore.
The master plan will be placed on public display before being lodged as a planning application.
