The remaining crane will be removed from the site on Thursday 1st October requiring the closure of Gloucester Street between Cumberland Street and the Cahill Expressway. Traffic controllers will be on hand to assist any residents with alternative parking or access to their properties. Built and YHA NSW apologise for any inconvenience to local residents and businesses and appreciate their co-operation and understanding throughout the construction phase.

The site is very busy at the moment with construction in its final weeks. The 106 bedrooms are complete and some furniture has already been delivered. The finishing touches to corridors and public areas are underway. Kitchens are being installed and connected to services. Most of the major services have been commissioned. External works are progressing well with the laneways re-surfaced, the remnants cleared of debris and the footpath and curb re-alignments largely complete. Sydney Harbour YHA is expected to accept its first guest in early November.

Bookings are now open on www.yha.com.au from 1st December onwards. Please note that December 30th and 31st are fully booked! Bookings for dates earlier than December will be opened in coming weeks.
