A FUTURE VISION FOR BAYS WEST

A plan to reinvent a section of Sydney’s unused harbour foreshore – with the historic White Bay Power Station as a centrepiece – has been launched by the NSW Government.

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said the draft Bays West Place Strategy aims to harness Sydney’s stunning “blue infrastructure” in the creation of a mixed-use precinct in the heart of the Eastern Harbour City.

“Bays West is so central and historically significant to Sydney that it is time to revitalise the area and make it a desirable place for people to live, work and visit,” Mr Stokes said.

The first, tangible action for the Bays West rejuvenation will be urgent restorative works at the heritage-listed White Bay Power Station.

The NSW Government is providing $14 million for the first phase of works on the site, which includes the investigation of structural integrity and safety as well as a program of critical repair and remediation works to begin later this year.

Community consultation will include online seminars, face-to-face information sessions in the area and communication through advertising and letter-box drops. The draft Bays West Place Strategy is on exhibition from 22 March to 29 April, 2021.
