Hobart’s historic waterfront, Sullivans Cove, faces south towards Antarctica and is bordered by the River Derwent and the imposing Mount Wellington Range. This dramatic backdrop creates a natural amphitheatre and at its lowest point, where water meets land, is a unique opportunity to revitalise this part of the city.


The Hobart Waterfront International Design Competition seeks visionary design proposals for one of the city’s historical sites, an area where cultural importance is reflected in a unique collection of heritage buildings.

The Competition Area is a broad band of space framed by the street-grid of the city. As the place where the Hobart Rivulet met the cove, it played an important role in Aboriginal life. The safe anchorage and fresh water supply were a vital factor in the early occupation of Tasmania and the foundation of Hobart.

The Competition Area is located on the least active side of Sullivans Cove and is currently the weakest connection between the city centre and the waterfront.

The creative challenge is to embrace the area’s rich history and design a contemporary cultural hub to revitalise the space.
