This exploratory research discusses the redevelopment of Darling Harbour with the intention to create a new place for people in terms of tourism, education, recreation, entertainment, and cultural and commercial activities. It states the significance of Darling Harbour in the industrial development of Australia and aims to create an impact on future planning decisions of similar places. From a critical tourism perspective, it argues that the case study area has been regenerated as a consumption space while it used to be a place for production in Australian industrial history. The research employs a qualitative case study approach based on extensive archival document analysis, site observation and semi-structured interviews. It explores the process and implications of the transformation of Darling Harbour on its industrial values. The findings argue that the development decision announced by the State Government of NSW in early 1984 resulted in the loss of industrial identity for the place.
