Wynyard Walk

The Wynyard Walk is a 180-metre-long (590 ft) pedestrian link and tunnel between Wynyard station and Barangaroo in the Sydney central business district. The walkway was officially opened on 20 September 2016. Wynyard Walk provides a quick and safe route and has increased the entry and exit capacity of Wynyard station to meet demand as Barangaroo is redeveloped. An estimated 20,000 pedestrians per hour can walk through the tunnel. In 2009, prior to construction of Barangaroo, the pedestrian tunnel was estimated to cost $100 million.

It is part of Kaplan International, headquartered in London, which is a division of Kaplan Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Graham Holdings Company, formerly known as The Washington Post Company.The Australian Government's regulator of higher education institutions, the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), re-registered Kaplan Business School as a Higher Education Provider in 2020 for the maximum seven-year period with no conditions, commending it in the areas of student support and feedback, academic progression of students, academic policy and practice, and its approach to academic integrity. TEQSA also re-accredited all of its postgraduate courses in 2019 for the maximum seven-year period.Kaplan Business School operates from seven CRICOS-registered campuses in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, and offers accredited postgraduate programs in business, accounting and business analytics, and accredited undergraduates courses in a number of business-related academic disciplines including accounting, management, marketing, and hospitality and tourism management.According to Department of Education data, Kaplan Business School had 4,289 enrolled students in 2019, with approximately two thirds enrolled in postgraduate degrees, making it the second largest non-university business school in Australia. The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is its flagship program and fastest growing course.
