2.0
The site of the proposed Cruise Passenger Terminal at White Bay
Wharf No.5 is located on the northern shore of White Bay, within
the south eastern portion of the Balmain Peninsula and opposite to
Glebe Island. It is located within the Leichhardt Local Government
Area and is approximately 2.4km west of the Sydney CBD.
The site has high visibility to; and is highly visible from the city.
Panoramic views are afforded to significant Sydney landmarks
including East Darling Harbour (now known as Barangaroo),
Centrepoint Tower and the Anzac Bridge. At the same time the site
can be observed from these respective areas.
The site can also be viewed from neighbouring residential areas.
On the northern side it adjoins the heritage residential area of
Balmain that overlooks the site from the sandstone escarpment.
From the southern side, residents of Pyrmont view the site area
across White Bay. The design response must carefully consider
the site’s visual prominence within the harbour setting, as well as
the opportunity to improve adjoining resident’s views towards the
CBD.
The White Bay site is part of Sydney’s industrial foreshoreheritage. Its topography and numerous built structures
demonstrate the many changing phases of the shipping industry
and together these represent the historical importance of the port
industries to the development of Sydney.

Site
Wharf 5 Precinct3.0
The site is located in the White Bay Port Precinct on the south
eastern portion of the Balmain peninsula. It is within a broader
area owned and controlled by the Sydney Ports Corporation.
The site is comprised of the existing Wharf 5 (known as WB5),
the adjoining parts of WB3, WB4 and WB6 and land for a new
access road. It is bounded by a sandstone cliff to the north, upon
which the elevated residential area of Balmain is located. To the
immediate west of the site is WB4, currently in port usage and to
the east is WB6, leased by Baileys Marine Fuels Australia. To the
south, the site terminates along the White Bay shoreline.
The White Bay site consists largely of reclaimed land and is
bounded by an existing caisson wharf and retaining structure along
the southern edge. It is currently in operation as a port facility for a
range of uses including import and export of goods and other short
term uses such as harbour construction.
In terms of this application, the scope of Architectural work is
limited to WB5.

13White Bay Cruise Passenger Terminal Concept DesignJOHNSON PILTON WALKER
The site has undergone considerable modification, reaching its
present day form in the mid 20th Century. The original profile of
the Natural Headland is recorded from cartographic maps as early
as 1924.
The site has been in use for shipping activities since the late
1800’s, contributing to the industrial and corresponding residential
growth of the area. Industrial sites replaced earlier jetties and the
harbour edge began to transform significantly.
A phase of modern development began in 1967, consisting of the
construction of wharves 4, 5 and 6 and supporting infrastructure.
This involved cutting back the natural White Bay headland and the
reclamation of land over the harbour, to form the current foreshore
profile.
The White Bay port precinct has approximately 40 years of
containerised shipping transit history that altered the topography
of the shoreline along the northern side of the bay. These dramatic
modifications and range of changing uses relevant to the shipping
industry, represent the importance of port uses to Sydney during
the late 20th Century.

Site
Working Port
The White Bay precinct has been in use as dockyards since
the late 1800’s following the growth of the maritime industry
in surrounding areas around the bay. Throughout the 19th and
early 20th centuries, the construction of wharves in White Bay
supported a growing shipping industry, which, from 1967 made
way for drastic land reclamation and conversion of the existing
facilities to accommodate containerisation.
The movement and handling of containers has played a major role
in the character and functioning of the site. Existing structures
reflect the evolving development of the shipping industry in
Sydney. The gantry support structures (trussed columns) which
still remain on the site, were constructed and incorporated a
sliding crane to support the handling of containers to and from
ships. Rail sidings and operational markings along the concrete
surface of the berths also served to assist with their transport
and stacking. The Wharf 5 cargo shed was the first building to be
constructed on the new reclaimed wharf, dating from 1969. It is
characterised by a high-bay truss clad with metal sheeting, within
which containers were stacked and transported. A low-bay shed
was added to the east in the 1980’s to increase storage capacity.
Container operations ceased at the White Bay site in 2004. Thesite currently continues to be used as a port facility.
The Cruise Passenger Terminal at Wharf 5 will represent a new
chapter in the evolving use of this port facility.

The proposed scheme seeks to build upon and reinforce the
Industrial Foreshore heritage of Sydney. It refers to the Heritage
Impact Statement prepared by City Plan Heritage which has
assessed the relative historic significance of the existing
structures within the site. The assessment supports the selective
retention and removal of elements based on their associated
historical and cultural values to the site.
The proposed scheme respects the historical significance of
White Bay by adhering to the Impact Statement conclusions,
which accept the removal of specific elements deemed to be of
low significance and encourage the retention of elements of high
heritage significance. Based on this, the elements to be preserved
include the rows of existing trussed columns, overhead gantry rails
and gantry rail siding on the wharf apron.

There are numerous existing buildings and structural elements
on the Wharf 5 site. The most prominent building is a large shed
that was originally used for container storage. The shed is sited
within the trussed columns running from east to west. The high
bay component was constructed in the 1970’s and extends across
11 column bays. At the upper level it is clad in asbestos and below
in metal. In the 1980’s a low bay extension was constructed,
enclosing a further 16 column bays to the east. It consists of an
internal trussed roof structure and metal cladding.
The trussed columns support gantry rails; originally part of an
overhead travelling crane for loading and unloading containers
transported by road or rail as well as stacking containers in and
around the high bay shed. Rows of rail sidings run along the
concrete ground below, which assisted with the movement and
handling of containers.
There are also several ancillary buildings scattered throughout the
Wharf 5 site, including substations and amenity blocks.
These existing elements retain a reference to Sydney’s working
harbour and respond to Sydney’s industrial foreshore heritage; andhave the potential to express the layers of development of place
and be empowered by a new contemporary layer.

Sense of Place: The unique character and quality of sandstone
provides a quintessentially Sydney backdrop. The cliff face is
visible from the harbourside and can further be enhanced in the
evening through uplighting.
The sandstone escarpment acts as a buffer to the north. The cliff
face assists the acoustic and visual separation from the wharf
precinct to adjacent residential area.
Significant grade separation currently affords adjoining residents
views over the existing low bay shed towards Sydney CBD.

Proposed Development
Brief 4.0
The Passenger Cruise Terminal Steering Committee (PCTSC) was
formed in May 2009 following the NSW Government decision in
December 2008 to permanently relocate Darling Harbour No.8
Passenger Terminal to facilitate and enhance the Barangaroo
redevelopment project. The PCTSC has recommended a newpurpose built terminal at White Bay Wharf 5.
The brief calls for a Passenger Cruise Terminal used for the
berthing of passenger vessels and the loading and unloading of
passengers and goods from or to those vessels; and, use as a
venue for events, exhibitions, conventions and functions.
Passenger Cruise Terminal Steering Committee Brief:
In addition, the PCTSC raise the following objectives:
• Provision of an iconic departure point for cruise passenger ships;
• Provision of flexible spaces that can be adapted for
accomodating and processing cruise passenger arrivals anddepartures and to accommodate other activities on non-ship
days;
• Provision of one main site entry and exit point;
• Separation of vehicle modes, including separate coach, minibus,
taxi, pick up and drop off point and passenger parking;
• Landscape treatment to break up the bulk of the building and to
provide suitable amenity to passengers; and
• Incorporation of ancillary passenger facilities e.g. ship day
convenience retail, dining etc within the terminal.

Proposed Development
Aspirations
The proposal seeks to create an iconic building; a pavilion that
accommodates a diverse range of functions and appreciates its
unique context.
The design takes advantage of the high-visibility of the site from
the harbour and iconographic nature of the arrival and departure
procession. It invites the opportunity to welcome and excite
visitors with a unique and expressive building. The building
orientates to the significant landmarks of Sydney Harbour and
references significant aspects of site history to create a distinctive
sense of place for the visitor.
The Iconographic element of the project is envisaged as a floating
Roof Canopy that strongly expresses innovative ESD principles
including natural ventilation and lighting. Functional spaces are
inserted beneath the roof canopy and within a transparent pavilion
between the rows of existing columns. During the daytime, the
dramatic roof gesture would be visible on approach from the Inner
Harbour. During the Night-time, the underside would glow softly.
Design Aspirations

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/02-environmental-assessment-app-c1-design-statement-and-drawings 24/26
White Bay Cruise Passenger Terminal Concept DesignJOHNSON PILTON WALKER 24
The simple volumes and open pavilion nature of the design
creates a flexible venue that facilitates a diverse range of uses
and activities on both ship days and non ship days. The building
fabric and environmental services are designed to adapt to suit the
differing comfort demands in an energy responsible manner.
There is the potential to naturally ventilate the building as well as
fully seal the building to create an acoustic enclosure. The building
services are designed for mixed mode to deliver a comfortable
temperature range that relates to the particular activity with a low
energy response.
Functional Design Approach:
• Simple volumes that provide flexibility in planning and operation
• Building fabric and services that can adapt to a diverse range of
uses and comfort demands
• Single-storey pavilion
• Low energy operation
Diversity of Uses

The proposal acknowledges the rich history of the site and
responds to its unique harbourside setting. It incorporates existing
historically significant elements as a celebration of the port
heritage of the site and to assist with the functional and structural
performance of the building.
The dramatic roof form is orientated to the City which creates a
welcoming and expressive gesture and provides an iconic point of
arrival and departure within the main Harbour.
Through intelligent planning and material selection, the building
respects adjacent neighbouring areas by minimising light spillage
and noise transmission. The overall height and form of the roof
respect the existing landform and improve residential views from
above.
Respectful Design Approach:
• Celebration of Site Heritage by embracing historically significant
existing structural elements
• Iconic building orientated towards Sydney Harbour
• Design minimises noise and light spill to neighbours and
improves overlooking views
