Marrinawi Cove upgrades to deliver more space for visitors

Visitors to Marrinawi Cove will soon have more space to relax and enjoy Sydney Harbour, with upgrades to enhance one of Sydney's most popular harbour swimming destinations. 

Construction will begin this month to convert part of the Moore's Wharf car park into approximately 380 square metres of additional public open space, creating more room for people to relax, picnic and unwind by the water.  

The upgrades will include: 

• new lawn areas 
• additional seating 
• landscaping
• changing facilities for swimmers and visitors.  

The project builds on earlier improvements to the swimming area and responds directly to community feedback seeking more space and improved amenities.  

Since opening for swimming in 2023, the Cove has become a popular destination for residents, workers and visitors, creating Sydney's first new harbour swimming spot in decades.  

Construction is due to start this month, with the upgraded facilities expected to open in time for summer.  

The project responds to the growing use of the Cove, delivering more open space and improved facilities for visitors.
