Phillip Precinct - commonly known as 'The Domain' 

The Phillip Precinct commonly referred to as the Domain, is the largest open space in the central business district. This historic site is suitable for large concerts, festivals, sporting events and community-related activities.  

The Yurong Precinct includes areas such as Fleet Steps, Mrs Macquaries Point and Mrs Macquaries Road. The Yurong Precinct offers unsurpassed panoramic views of the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, Farm Cove and the city’s central business district skyline.

The Yurong Precinct is ideal for outdoor public events and incorporates the world renowned backdrop of Sydney’s favourite tourism destinations.

The Tarpeian Precinct is an elongated open space adjacent to the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney and Macquarie Street. The precinct offers stunning views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour.

The Tarpeian Precinct is ideal for smaller passive outdoor public event activities that do not require amplified sound and that may benefit from close proximity to Sydney’s central business district.

The Crescent Precinct consists of expansive lawns from the eastern side of Art Gallery Road to the top of the Domain Car Park. The precinct is centrally located to Sydney’s central business district and public transport options.

The Crescent Precinct is most suitable for sporting events.
