The transformation of Darling Harbour in Sydney, Australia, is the city’s most significant urban renewal initiative in 20 years – a once in a generation opportunity to remake a critical, central neighbourhood.
The harbour-side precinct is now home to the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) comprising three exceptional new venues, a luxury hotel – and a new mixed-use neighbourhood is on the way.
Working closely with iNSW and Lendlease, HASSELL delivered the urban design framework for the entire 20-hectare precinct and designed Darling Harbour’s public realm to better connect the city and offer new places for people to gather, relax and play.
People were firmly at the heart of our design process for remaking Darling Harbour, says Angus Bruce, HASSELL Principal and Head of Landscape Architecture.

The project was organized by Claudia Ebert (Budersand Hotel), Sven Paulsen (Adler Shipping), Arne Weber (HC Hagemann) and Peter Ewaldsen (mussel fishers’ representative) in cooperation with the Hörnum municipality. In addition to its key commercial role, the harbor is an important tourist attraction in the municipality. In 2016, the northern and southern moles had to be blocked off because they were at risk of collapsing – with a serious impact on their commercial use and on tourism.
