The Precinct
Pier 2/3 is part of the Walsh Bay Arts Precinct, which now includes Wharf 4/5 – home to Sydney Theatre Company, Sydney Dance Company, Bangarra Dance Theatre, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, Gondwana Choirs and The Song Company – and Pier 2/3, where our neighbours are Bell Shakespeare and the Australian Theatre for Young People.

The Walsh Bay Arts Precinct is on Gadigal land, known originally 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.
