Located on the eastern side of Darling Harbour, Sydney Wildlife World adds an iconic landmark to the surrounding foreshore.
The design was inspired by the skeletal frame of a python, with construction needed to accommodate nine eco systems simulated within the facility. The elegant mesh roof supported by curved steel arches creates an imaginative, exciting and attractive addition to Sydney Wildlife World.
