Sydney International Convention Centre

International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) is a waterfront convention, exhibition and entertainment precinct at Darling Harbour. The Hassell + Populous joint venture designed the three main venues—the convention centre, exhibition centre and theatre—as connected but distinct buildings. They opened in December 2016 as part of the wider AUD 3.4 billion Darling Harbour Live redevelopment, delivered through a partnership involving the New South Wales Government and the Darling Harbour Live consortium. The complex incorporates approximately 35,000 square metres of exhibition space, 8,000 square metres of meeting space, a 5,000-square-metre outdoor event deck and a theatre designed for events of up to 9,000 people.

The project aims to make an unusually large events complex part of everyday urban life rather than an isolated destination. Its distinctive glass, metal and timber forms address Cockle Bay and Tumbalong Park, while public routes, landscaped edges and pedestrian connections link the precinct to nearby city districts. The buildings support conventions, exhibitions, performances and public gatherings; surrounding public spaces remain an important part of the overall design.
