At 180m long, Wynyard Walk creates a link between the upgraded Wynyard Station concourse, Kent Street tunnel, Sussex Street pedestrian bridge and the Barangaroo development.

The Barangaroo development alone is expected to take up to 23,000 office workers and attract 33,000 daily visitors. That is why the Wynyard Walk is one vital part of the NSW Government’s commitment to meet current and future transport demands in Sydney.

The walk makes it faster, safer and easier for more pedestrians to move in and through Sydney’s CBD. It does this by avoiding steep inclines and road crossings. It also provides more ways to enter and exit Wynyard Station.

Lifts and escalators help make sure that people with disabilities, older people, those with strollers and luggage, can all easily use Wynyard Walk and its connecting routes.

Construction of a new entrance on Clarence Street has also created the opportunity to provide a dedicated creative space. #Wynscreen is a 23m wide and 3m high digital art display located on the mezzanine level.

The Wynyard Walk route

Wynyard Walk is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It also links with the Kent Street tunnel, which is open 7am – 7pm, Monday to Friday (closed on public holidays).

Wynyard Walk planning and environment

Wynyard Walk has been designed, constructed and is operated following Transport for NSW Sustainability Targets and Transport for NSW Sustainability Guidelines.

The project was approved in July 2012 under Part 5 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act).

Wynyard Walk’s Environmental Management Plans took into account the conditions of that approval plus all relevant Acts, Regulations and best practice management. Monitored by an Environmental Management Representative, the plans dealt with the following:

noise, vibration and traffic from construction

flora and fauna management

earthworks, dust, waste, water and air quality management

heritage management
