Among the sites to be redeveloped are the Rozelle railway yards, White Bay Power Station. Glebe Island port, Sydney Fish Market, Pyrmont Employment Area and Wentworth Park.[1][2]
History
In November 2014, the Government of New South Wales conducted a summit to formulate a plan for the precinct.[3] In February 2017 expressions of interest in developing a masterplan for the first nine hectares were called for.[4]
Transport
As part of the Sydney Metro West rapid transit line it is proposed to build a railway station in the precinct.[5] In 2015, it was suggested the Glebe Island Bridge could be reopened as part of a plan to extend the Sydney Light Rail.[6]
