Accessibility
Getting to Darling Harbour
Access to Darling Harbour is mostly level from surrounding streets.
The Goods Line
The Goods Line provides an accessible east-west connection between the city and Ultimo via Mary Ann St and Darling Drive at Macarthur St. While connections onto and across The Goods Line are accessible at both streets, unfortunately the grade of Macarthur Street itself is too steep to be considered accessible. The Goods Line provides a new accessible north-south connection from the southern side of Ultimo Road, across the rail bridge to Darling Drive, near the end of Macarthur Street.

There are several lifts located in Darling Harbour for ease of access.
- Pyrmont Bridge - Lifts are available on either side of the bridge, linking to Ultimo and the Sydney CBD.
