MIRVAC'S PROPOSED TRANSFORMATION OF SYDNEY'S HARBOURSIDE PUBLIC SPACES APPROVED

Mirvac is set to deliver over 11,000 square metres of new public open space at Harbourside, seamlessly connecting Pyrmont to the harbour’s edge and creating a vibrant hub for living, gathering and connecting. 

The public open spaces will include:

• An expansive 6,000 square metre Waterfront Promenade, creating a dynamic blend of public space and seating, thoughtfully designed with landscaping, multiple pedestrian connections through the precinct and a waterfront plaza. 
• A new 3,500 square metre Waterfront Garden, adjacent to the historic Pyrmont Bridge that will provide an inner-city oasis, with greenery, wide pathways and diverse seating offering panoramic views across Darling Harbour and Cockle Bay.  
• Accessibility at the heart of the design, with ramps and a lift ensuring inclusive access for all.
• A new Bunn Street pedestrian bridge that will create a seamless link between Pyrmont, Harbourside precinct and the waterfront, encouraging active transport and enhancing the overall visitor experience. 

All plant species selected for the public open spaces are Indigenous and have been chosen in consultation with Indigenous cultural experts.  

Stuart Penklis, Mirvac's CEO of Development, said,“We are excited to see the vision for Harbourside continue to take shape with the approval of our landmark public spaces. The new precinct will provide exceptional spaces for the community and visitors alike to connect with Sydney Harbour. Mirvac is investing $50 million to fund the public domain and will deliver a vibrant, inclusive, and future-ready destination that honours the past, while looking boldly to the future."
