Barangaroo Reserve is a symbol of the wider precinct’s transformation from a former industrial wharf to a spectacular harbourside precinct. The international award-winning Reserve recreates a headland that existed before the arrival of Sydney’s first europeans. Our people managed the planning, design and construction process, complex titling, services and easement adjustments and town planning to support the “Central” precinct and station development. We successfully directed two well attended public events, Construction Open Day and official Grand Opening.
