Sport and recreation opportunity: North Head Sanctuary, Manly, NSW

Nestled within the picturesque Barracks Precinct at North Head Sanctuary in Manly, Building 17 - a meticulously refurbished former army gymnasium - stands as a proud testament to Australia's military history and architectural heritage.

The Harbour Trust invites professional operators to lease Building 17. Interested parties are encouraged to submit Expressions of Interest (EOI) as best and final proposals. The Harbour Trust will evaluate all submissions and proceed to final negotiations with shortlisted applicants.

Opportunity
The Harbour Trust may on occasion, grant a rental subsidy to a not-for-profit tenant, if found to be adding to the Harbour Trusts objectives and priorities, making a beneficial contribution. For this premises, only contributory partners will be considered for such rental subsidy. The evaluation process is outlined in the Harbour Trust Rental Subsidy Policy for Contributory and Delivery Partners and further detailed in the Leasing Policy and Protocols.

About North Head Sanctuary
A nature refuge, bordered by dramatic cliffs, North Head Sanctuary, Manly, is located on the peninsula at the northern entrance to Sydney Harbour.

Defined by coastal bushland, the area holds significance for its Traditional Owners and Custodians. 

We acknowledge the Gayamagal people and pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging.

A series of dedicated walking and bike tracks are an opportunity to discover military fortifications from the Second World War as well as visible evidence of the nation’s early quarantine practices and diverse native flora and fauna, including endangered species.

Popular landmarks include the Third Quarantine Cemetery, Australia’s Memorial Walk, the art deco Barracks Precinct, the Hanging Swamp and North Fort – a remnant military complex that once defended Sydney from the threat of invaders. Were it not for the unspoiled harbour views, it would be hard to believe you are only 11km from Sydney’s CBD.

The Harbour Trust has recently completed a master plan to guide the preservation and activation of North Head Sanctuary.
