  It was announced at the unveiling of a $4 billion renewal project on the Western side of Sydney's CBD.

Sartor said the Government would consider building new public transport ferry wharves, bus stations and possibly light rail along Hickson Road, to be renamed the Hungary Mile.

More than 50 per cent of the precinct will be parkland, with the rest a mixture of residential, retail and commercial space for 16,000 office workers.

However the majority of built form within the precinct is for commercial uses including office space, retail facilities, residential units, and hotel/tourism facilities. It will be funded, developed and owned by the private sector.

All development sites will be on a 99-year leasehold structure.

Construction of the site is expected to commence in 2008 and the precinct expected to be completed, through a staged delivery strategy, by 2020.

Barangaroo is an inner-city foreshore locality of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located on the north-western edge of the Sydney central business district, at the south-eastern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, adjacent to Sydney CBD. It is part of the local government area of the City of Sydney. The postcode is 2000. Barangaroo is an intiative ordered by the Government of New South Wales to provide more recreational area for a growing Sydney population, and was named after the wife of Bennelong in October 2006 by Nigel Dawe, winner of a public competition to name the area. Before it is transformed into commercial and residential real estate, the Barangaroo precinct will be used during World Youth Day 2008 as the site of the opening Mass (Tuesday 15 July) for an estimated 150000 people and for the arrival of Pope Benedict XVI (Thursday 17 July).

History
Barangaroo comprises most of the suburb formerly known as Millers Point and the western portion of Sydney where the now defunct shipping port is being redeveloped into a recreational, business and shopping precinct.
