An arts and cultural hot spot on Sydney’s glittering waterfront.
The redevelopment of the Walsh Bay Arts Precinct is a priority infrastructure project for the NSW Government. The redevelopment will create a public arts and cultural hub on Sydney’s famous waterfront, while preserving its iconic heritage.
On completion, the revitalised Walsh Bay Arts precinct will be home to an expanded group of companies: Sydney Theatre Company, Sydney Dance Company, Bangarra Dance Theatre, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, Gondwana Choirs, The Song Company, Bell Shakespeare, Australian Chamber Orchestra and Australian Theatre for Young People.
Infrastructure NSW is overseeing delivery of this project on behalf of Create NSW.
Construction is currently underway at Wharf 4/5 and Pier 2/3.
