The Walsh Bay Arts Precinct is on Gadigal land, known by the Aboriginal names of Tar-ra and Tullagalla.
The distinctive timber wharf of Pier 2/3 was constructed in the 1920s and attained heritage status in 1999. Award-winning architectural firm, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer has approached the redevelopment with the utmost sensitivity, restoring the industrial character of the wharf in a cutting-edge design that’s contemporary, sustainable and beautiful, maximising the possibilities of the space and its relationship to the water.
