Sydney's new urban living room

Town Hall Square

Our transformative project at Town Hall Square reimagines the site as Sydney’s new living room, where green avenues, civic and cultural places converge.

 

The new square is a calm, generous and flexible space that gives focus to the architectural exuberance of the historic Town Hall building through alignment, symmetry and scale. Park Street’s green canopy shades the northern edge of the square, while a contemporary, ‘verandah’ building offers places for events and activities to the south. A public market hall under the square links people to trains, buses and trams that are located around the square’s edges.

Town Hall Square will become Sydney’s civic heart, a place for all people to gather, pause, participate, or protest. It will provide more space for public life in the heart of Sydney and help to connect the city’s assets from the Innovation Hub at Central down to the harbour at Circular Quay.
