Bays Waterfront Promenade

Immediate priority destination

While the Bays Waterfront Promenade will be an essential connector within The Bays Precinct and to surrounding suburbs, it will be more than just a pathway that links people between great places – it will be planned as a new must-see Destination for every visitor to Sydney; a waterfront playground to bring communities together.

It will be designed to seamlessly connect the urban coastal and marine contexts. A variety of special trails could link the Promenade with a cultural, heritage or recreational focus.
