Description

Sussex Street is adjacent to Darling Harbour and as such has a wide range of buildings associated with the harbour activities and industries. In this respect it is similar to other streets like Kent Street and Wattle Street, whose character was largely influenced by their proximity to Darling Harbour.

The street features a large number of older, heritage buildings, alongside more recent developments like the Sheraton Four Points Hotel. It is in a part of the city that was depressed for a long time, but which has been revitalised recently.
