Event sites in The Rocks and Circular Quay

The Rocks
The Rocks is one of Australia’s most significant heritage precincts, reflecting layers of Sydney’s history from 1788 through to the present.
The Rocks is one of Sydney’s primary visitor destinations with a strong relationship to the harbour and Circular Quay. It boasts a sweeping view including Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. The distinct character is created by the small, intimate scale of buildings and spaces, exposed sandstone cliffs and outcrops and harbour views. The Rocks is a mixed-use area comprising residential, retail and commercial uses, located close to the CBD and the Circular Quay transport interchange.
Public sites in The Rocks (e.g. open spaces, parks, footpaths and promenades) receive considerable footfall from visitors, both local and international, residents, workers and commuters and in order to protect The Rocks’ special qualities, additional development such as temporary uses/events in the public realm must be carefully managed.
Circular QuayThe Circular Quay precinct incorporates the eastern, central and western foreshore paved promenades surrounding Sydney Cove.
The Circular Quay foreshore promenade connects The Rocks precinct to the west and to the east connects with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney Opera House and East Circular Quay.
The Circular Quay promenade provides stunning views of Sydney Harbour, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House from multiple angles.
Circular Quay is an intensive and highly pedestrianised area, in particular during morning and afternoon peak travel periods, lunch times and weekends.
It acts as a public transport interchange for workers and visitors (ferries, trains and buses connecting the suburbs with the city centre). Circular Quay also caters as the principal public thoroughfare to surrounding key CBD commercial, visitor and public destinations.
