The Australian Chamber Orchestra, Australian Theatre for Young People, and Bell Shakespeare will take up home on Pier 2/3 as part of the new Master Plan to develop the currently under utilised venue, while Wharf 4/5 will be expanded to better accommodate Bangarra Dance Theatre and add The Song Company, Gondwana Choirs and Sydney Philharmonia.
