Today marks the opening of the 300-metre-long final piece of the 11 kilometre Barangaroo foreshore walk from Woolloomooloo to the Anzac Bridge.
\nPremier Gladys Berejiklian said opening up the last piece of the 11 kilometre walk is a fundamental part of Barangaroo\u2019s transformation from a once neglected and inaccessible area into a world-class cultural, residential, business and retail hub.
\n\u201cI am excited to open this stunning new foreshore walk in Barangaroo, which not only connects the natural surroundings of Barangaroo Reserve with the business district of Barangaroo South, but also completes the scenic walk along Sydney Harbour from Woolloomooloo to the Anzac Bridge,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.
\n\u201cThe walk is a beautiful 15-metre-wide, tree-lined boulevard on Sydney\u2019s waterfront and will be used by cyclists, commuters and visitors every day. It is designed by award-winning landscape architect Peter Walker, who also designed the Barangaroo Reserve.
\n\u201cThis new public space demonstrates our commitment to ensure more than half of Barangaroo is public open space and opens up this once neglected and inaccessible area for the community to enjoy.\u201d
\nMinister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said the opening of the final part of the Barangaroo foreshore demonstrated the NSW Government\u2019s ongoing commitment to creating more public space throughout Sydney.
\n\u201cIn October last year, we opened Waterman\u2019s Cove and today we make available another 300 metres of public space which runs alongside our world-famous harbour,\u201d Mr Stokes said.
\n\u201cThe pandemic has showed us how vital public space is and with more people coming back into the CBD, we need more spaces like this one at Barangaroo.
\n\u201cMore than 100 trees were planted in this section of the foreshore walk which contributes to our goal to plant one million trees by 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
