ICC Sydney - Australia’s premier convention, exhibition and events venue - and
reinvigorated public spaces and connections at Darling Harbour are being delivered by
Darling Harbour Live, comprising Lend Lease, Hostplus, Capella Capital, AEG Ogden and Spotless.

THE NEW FACE
OF SYDNEY
Sydney is one of the world’s most spectacular cities. This global city with a glorious
climate and stunning harbour setting is undergoing its most exciting evolution in a
generation. Over $14billion is being invested in the city’s western harbour with the
new International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) at its very heart.
• Sydney’s western harbour is being transformed
into one of the most distinctive and dynamic new
waterfront, business and leisure districts in
the world.
• The heart of this transformation is at Darling
Harbour, home to the new world class convention,
exhibition and entertainment venue (ICC Sydney),
a luxury 5 star hotel, and a vibrant commercial and
residential urban village called Darling Square.
• Opening in December 2016, ICC Sydney will be Asia
Pacific’s premier integrated convention, exhibition
and entertainment precinct, underlining Sydney’s
place as one of the world’s most desirable meeting
and event destinations and providing the ideal
platform to collaborate and innovate.
• New pedestrian and light rail connections will link
Darling Harbour and ICC Sydney to the Sydney
CBD, the financial services hub at Barangaroo in
the north and the creative media and IT hub in
the south.
• Great cities are constantly evolving and the NSW
Government’s visionary transformation is reenergising Sydney and its place on the world stage.
• The exciting transformation at Darling Harbour
is being delivered by the NSW Government in
partnership with Darling Harbour Live (comprising
Lend Lease, HOSTPLUS, Capella Capital, AEG
Ogden and Spotless) and Lend Lease.
• Infrastructure NSW is the NSW Government agency
managing the 20 hectare transformation. Darling
Harbour and the new convention, exhibition
and entertainment venues will remain in public
ownership through Sydney Harbour Foreshore
Authority. A dynamic calendar of events and
entertainment during the redevelopment will keep
the precinct active and vibrant.

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.

SUSTAINABLE
SPACES
Darling Harbour Live is creating
a socially responsible and
environmentally sensitive
convention, exhibition and
entertainment precinct.
The project is registered to the internationally recognised
LEED® green building certification program (LEED =
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and is
set to achieve a Gold Certification. During demolition and
construction, there is a target to achieve 90% material
diversion of waste to landfill. Once built, ICC Sydney is
expected to operate with optimal resource efficiency
because of smart, design strategies integrated with cost
efficient and renewable technologies. ICC Sydney will also
be home to Australia’s first community funded PV array in a
CBD, generating 545MWhr of power per year.
The public spaces at Darling Harbour are very important
to the experience that the precinct offers. A renewed and
upgraded public domain will also see a reconfiguration
of Tumbalong Park, providing an additional 3,000sqm of
green space as well as a new adaptable event space capable
of hosting up to 27,000 people.
