the tarpeian way is of state significance for its prominence as a quarried, weathered sandstone cliff face, with stone steps and iron railing, which defines the northern boundary of the royal botanic garden and the southern boundary of the sydney opera house. the drama, scale and simplicity of the quarried sandstone face of thetarpeian wall plays a crucial role in supporting the entry point and setting of the sydney opera house, where it provides an enclosing "backstage wall" to the open forecourt space. it is considered a "crucial element in [the world heritage] buffer zone . . . including its steps and upper perimeter fence. although not legally on the sydney opera house site, it immediately borders and defines its southern edge and the open space of the forecourt. because of its scale, location and configuration, it plays a crucial role in the approach and entry experience, setting, and definition, of the sydney opera house site." a substantial rock cutting of the bennelong headland, undertaken in 1880 at a cost of , it enabled the extension of macquarie street.
