Sydneysiders and tourists will soon be able to enjoy the new Darling Quarter precinct in Darling Harbour as the eagerly anticipated project prepares to officially open on Saturday 24 September.
A Lend Lease and Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority partnership, the precinct will be presented to the public in an opening day ceremony emceed by James Kerley and featuring kids’ favourites Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick Star, live Nickelodeon Slime Time shows, Lah Lah Live, and a 2DayFM live cross.
As well as providing an “eclectic mix” of new dining options for grownups, the precinct will introduce a new 4,000 square metre playground for children, the biggest in the Sydney CBD area, according to Lend Lease.
Additionally, from December, an urban light installation at Commonwealth Bank Place will become interactive for all visitors of the precinct, affording the public an opportunity to “direct” their own light performance on a large ‘vertical stage’.
Lend Lease says the Darling Quarter will continue to evolve after its initial presentation with a programme of events already planned from September onwards.
