Historic Pier 2/3 is the last remaining undeveloped wharf within the Walsh Bay precinct. The Pier is able to be used for arts, cultural and creative purposes now and into the future.
Long Term Redevelopment of Pier 2l3
In July 2011, as part of the planning for long term redevelopment of Pier 2/3, six organisations were shortlisted as potential residents or users of the Pier. They are Australian Chamber Orchestra, Australian Theatre for Young People, Bangarra Dance Theatre, Bell Shakespeare, Biennale of Sydney and Sydney Writers’ Festival. Discussions are being undertaken with these organisations in parallel with development of a comprehensive Walsh Bay Arts Precinct master plan.
The Government will consider the outcomes of these discussions and the results of the master plan process before determining the final shape of the refurbishment of Pier 2/3 and the wider Walsh Bay Arts Precinct.
