Minister for Planning and Public Spaces and Minister for Transport and Roads Rob Stokes said the community’s desire to see the power station adapted for future use and active transport links between the Pyrmont and Bays peninsula were key priorities.
“The community was clear in their feedback on the draft plans – Bays West’s history must be a focal point of its future. The final Bays West Place Strategy is our plan to make that vision a reality,” Mr Stokes said.
“The first phase of remediation works is already underway at the White Bay Power Station and we are exploring options for long term management of the Glebe Island Bridge and active transport links for pedestrians and cyclists.”
Mr Stokes said the 77-hectare precinct from White Bay to Rozelle was one of the last significant pieces of harbour land available for urban renewal in Sydney.
“Bays West is largely untouched and discussions about its future have been ongoing for years. This strategy will allow for a staged renewal of the area and open up the foreshore to the public for the first time in decades.”
The next stage in the process for each of the sub-precincts within Bays West will be the preparation of master plans. These will provide more detail about key elements such as building heights, housing types, density, and open space.
The first of these master plans, for the White Bay Power Station (and Metro) sub-precinct, is expected to be placed on public exhibition in early 2022.
