Central Station Precinct Renewal Program

A visionary plan to build over rail lines at Central will deliver a spectacular new public square and parkland, office space for the startups of the future, more diverse and affordable housing options as well as new city connections. 

Premier Dominic Perrottet said: "We have a once in a generation opportunity to reimagine this iconic part of our CBD and transform it into a world-class precinct of shops, restaurants, office spaces, parkland and additional housing. 

Our vision will convert Central precinct into a must-visit part of our city for locals as well as for domestic and international travellers."
