Barangaroo is the new suburb along the western foreshore of the Sydney Central Business District. An urban renewal project will create new parklands, commercial and residential areas here. The name Barangaroo honours an indigenous woman from Sydney's early history who was a powerful and colourful figure in the colonisation of Australia. She was also the wife of Bennelong, another important indigenous figure after whom Bennelong Point is named which is the site of the Sydney Opera House, on the other side of the Central Business District.
