International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) has marked a decade since opening, with the architects behind the Darling Harbour precinct saying its success is measured by how people use it long after opening day.

Hassell and Populous designed the three major venues – ICC Sydney Convention Centre, ICC Sydney Exhibition Centre and TikTok Entertainment Centre (formerly ICC Sydney Theatre). They sit within a 250,000-sqm precinct of public spaces, parks and waterfront connections.

Hassell also designed the precinct master plan, landscape and public realm. According to the firms, public space increased by 30% and 9,000sqm of green space was added.

The architects point to Moriarty Walk, a pedestrian link between the Exhibition Centre and TikTok Entertainment Centre, as an example of the precinct evolving beyond its brief. Now widely known as Dancers’ Alley, it has become an informal home for Sydney’s dance community, where dancers rehearse, meet and perform.

Hassell principal Glenn Scott said the aim was a precinct that could host major events and international audiences while becoming “part of the everyday life of Sydney”.

Populous APAC managing director Richard Breslin said the ambition was to create more than individual venues, with a destination that “promotes the city of Sydney” and balances the intensity of major events with a welcoming sense of place.

ICC Sydney chief executive Adam Mather-Brown said the anniversary was a chance to celebrate the people and partnerships behind the venue’s first decade, adding that its design and architecture remain “a source of immense pride”.

The release said major events now run alongside everyday activity in Tumbalong Park, where delegates, families and visitors share the same public spaces.
