Jury comment
Barangaroo Reserve is a project with vision. It reconnects Sydney’s waterfront by re-establishing its historical shoreline and restoring one of Sydney’s five inner-harbour headlands. The result crosses the boundaries between the old, the very old and the new in order to create an iconic open space for the future. Executed with fine detail, the project will become recognizable worldwide, thereby enhancing Sydney’s identity. But the project goes deeper than this, reflecting its historical and cultural heritage, opening up an important part of the city’s foreshore for everyone to use, and providing new habitat for threatened and declining indigenous species.
