"Joint venture partners HASSELL + Populous have delivered the architectural design for Sydney's new integrated convention, exhibition and entertainment precinct at Darling Harbour as design consultants to the Darling Harbour Live consortium (comprising Lend Lease, Capella Capital, AEG Ogden and Spotless). The consortium was selected by the New South Wales Government as the preferred developer of the A$1 billion facility.

The project involved the transformation of this key Sydney precinct through the design of three major public buildings and the unifying public realm, including:
_A convention facility with capacity for three concurrent events of up to 2,500 delegates
_Exhibition space of 40,000 sqm
_A 5,000 sqm external event deck with spectacular city views
_A plenary hall which can be converted to an entertainment theatre seating 8,000
_A grand ballroom with banqueting space for 2,000
_Upgrade and improvements to the public parklands and open space

The remaking of Darling Harbour was a rare opportunity to design a significant new quarter within the central city. It extends the urban fabric and reconnects the city and surrounds with more permeable networks of streets and lanes, bringing a new level of public amenity for visitors and citizens alike through extended public parkland that is identifiably ‘Sydney’ in character." * Text extracted from HASSELL website
