FORESHORE WALK REMAINS OPEN AS LEND LEASE STARTS WORKS
7 July 2010
Lend Lease has been granted authority to commence preliminary site works on Barangaroo
South today, by the Barangaroo Delivery Authority.
“The works are necessary for the progression of the existing approved concept plan to which
Lend Lease has development rights for Barangaroo South”, said John Tabart, CEO of the
Barangaroo Delivery Authority.
“While the amendments to the approved concept plan are yet to be assessed and determined
through the public planning process, Lend Lease has been granted access to commence
preliminary site work related to the already approved site plan.
“During works in any part of the Barangaroo Precinct, it is our aim to ensure the foreshore walk
remains operational as much as possible although route changes to accommodate various
activities will obviously be necessary overtime.
“After being shut off to the public for more than a century, since opening in December 2009 the
Barangaroo foreshore walk has welcomed thousands of joggers, pedestrians and cyclists and is
a popular activity for Sydneysiders.
“As Lend Lease commences activities on the site it may be necessary at times to divert the walk
as occurs when cruise ships are at the interim passenger terminal.
“The works commencing by Lend Lease include the erection of temporary fencing, geo technical
investigations, and preliminary site works in preparation for demolition of Wharf 8 and other
structures.
“On site works will be conducted during the hours of:
7am to 6pm Monday to Friday
8am to 1pm Saturdays
“These are not works associated with a future application to amend the concept plan for
additional height, gross floor area and the hotel on the public pier. These are subject to future
applications.
“The Barangaroo Delivery Authority will continue to ensure that the public have access to the
foreshore as much as possible during these and other forthcoming works.
“While the works being undertaken may involve diversions at times, it is important for the
community to know that the foreshore walk will largely remain open during the transformation of
Barangaroo”, said Mr. Tabart.
