Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the purpose-built retail and wholesale facility will be positioned over the water as the centrepiece of a new harbourside precinct, taking advantage of panoramic views to the Anzac Bridge.
“The Sydney Fish Market currently attracts more visitors annually than the Great Barrier Reef and accounts for around 20 per cent of international visitors to the Sydney region,” Ms Berejiklian said.
“It is already the largest fish market in the southern hemisphere, trading approximately 14,500 tonnes of seafood per year.”
The building will feature a unique timber and aluminium roof inspired by fish scales floating over the building like a canopy and be home to an expanded seafood cooking school, food kiosks, restaurants, bars and outdoor spaces for social events.
Plans also include new public wharves, a waterfront promenade, a new ferry stop and new civic and community spaces.
The new fish market is expected to open in 2023.
