SYDNEY FISH MARKET HITS MAJOR MILESTONE

The new Sydney Fish Market

The new Sydney Fish Market has hit a major milestone with a contract awarded to begin construction, creating jobs for NSW now and into the future.

Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the award of a contract on the pivotal $750 million project demonstrated the NSW Government’s commitment to stimulating the economy while providing infrastructure for the local community and visitors alike.

“The new Sydney Fish Market is set to become a world-class cultural icon for Sydney, creating jobs for the economy, boosting tourism and showcasing Sydney’s beautiful Blackwattle Bay,” Mr Ayres said.

“After careful consideration and a competitive process, Multiplex has been appointed to start construction on the fish markets, with work to start early next year. More than 700 jobs will be created during construction, with a further 700 jobs to be supported upon completion in 2024, providing a much-needed boost to the local economy.”

David Ghannoum, Regional Managing Director Multiplex said the new Sydney Fish Market was set to become one of Australia’s best tourist destinations.

“With its award-winning design, the modernised Sydney Fish Market will retain an authentic marine and seafood market experience and strengthen its position as one of Australia’s leading tourist destinations,” Mr Ghannoum said.

The Sydney Fish Market redevelopment is one of many projects fast tracked through Government’s new Planning System Acceleration Program, introduced to keep people in jobs and the economy moving in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The current Sydney Fish Market site will remain operational while the new site is under construction. For more information, visit insw.com/blackwattlebay.
