The NSW Independent Planning Commission has approved public domain works for the Harbourside redevelopment at Darling Harbour, designed by Snøhetta with Hassell and Mirvac. The project will create over 11,200 square meters of public space, featuring trees, pathways, and public artworks. Key to the design is Guardian Square, envisioned as a community park. The landscape strategy promotes inclusivity and integrates local heritage and ecology, including water features and diverse vegetation. This redevelopment unites a team of professionals to create a sustainable and culturally relevant urban environment.
The proposal reimagines the waterfront at Tumbalong / Darling Harbour with more than 11,200 square meters of renewed public space, featuring significant trees, planted areas, sculptural sandstone pathways, and integrated public artworks.
The landscape strategy integrates art, planting, and sculptural elements to create a dynamic and inclusive environment, fostering a sense of belonging and shared ownership for both residents and visitors.
Drawing on the area's rich cultural and ecological heritage, the design acknowledges Tumbalong, the name given by Aboriginal people to this place, once a vital gathering ground celebrated for its abundant seafood.
The Harbourside redevelopment brings together a diverse design team led by Snøhetta and Hassell, uniting architects, landscape architects, interior designers, art curators, product, furniture, and graphic designers.
