ICC Sydney has been appointed as the official operator of Barangaroo’s architectural landmark, The Cutaway, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony officiated by New South Wales’ premier Chris Minns.
Effective April 20, 2026, the venue becomes part of the International Convention Centre Sydney’s portfolio under an expanded Public Private Partnership designed to drive tourism and the state’s night-time economy.
The 5,000m2 subterranean space will undergo test events, including the Business Events Sydney Global Ambassador Dinner, before a full creative launch in August 2026. Confirmed programming includes major cultural events such as Vivid Sydney, Sydney Festival, and the National Indigenous Art Fair.
The venue features a commercial kitchen, gallery rooms, and a dedicated First Nations educational space. Architectural upgrades include premium acoustic glazing and 13 timber design elements. In line with the NSW Government’s green initiatives, the venue operates as an all-electric, fossil-fuel-free site under Barangaroo’s carbon-neutral commitment.
Located adjacent to the new Barangaroo Metro Station, the venue is expected to serve as a stage for high-tech corporate launches, exhibitions, and immersive creative showcases.
