Next steps on Urban Renewal

The State Significant Precinct Study to rezone the precinct was determined by the Planning Minister in December 2022. The determination allows for Blackwattle Bay’s potential to become a reality.

The Sydney Fish Market site will be taken to market later in 2023 to find a private development partner. The Design Code developed throughout the planning process has set the future development up for success, including establishment of a precinct-wide Design Excellence Panel to support high quality architecture and design.

Design of a new 1.1 hectare park at Bank Street has started. Community consultation will continue throughout 2023. Visit the Bank Street Park page for more information.
