Last week’s announcement by NSW Premier Mike Baird will see the area, just two kilometres west of Sydney’s CBD, revitalised to make way for new housing, as well as areas for recreation, retail, commercial, maritime and of course tourism.
Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase applauded the move: “The Bays Precinct has so much untapped potential. It is great to see that the NSW Government is continuing to look to the future with this project which will be the biggest of its kind in NSW.”
Sydney’s largest single urban renewal program in almost 15 years will transform degraded waterfront areas around Blackwattle Bay, the Sydney Fish Market, Rozelle Bay, Rozelle Rail Yards, and the heritage-listed White Bay Power Station into a vibrant harbour front.
The NSW Government will host an international summit later this year, to hear from world leading urban renewal experts about the best ways to revitalise The Bays Precinct.
NSW Premier Mike Baird said, “We owe it to future generations to make sure we get the renewal of such a significant area right, which is why we’ve decided to hold an international summit in Sydney in November, to which we will invite the greatest minds in the field of city building and urban regeneration from across Australia and the world.”
Summit participants will be invited on the basis of their experience, expertise and demonstrated success in the delivery of major urban renewal projects. Further detail is available at www.urbangrowthnsw.com.au, including a fly-through video.
