NSW Government review: Pyrmont
City of Sydney is a member of the project team and steering committee for the NSW Government’s Pyrmont Peninsula revitalisation strategy.
Project Status: Closed
NSW Government are developing the Place Strategy for the Pyrmont Peninsula.
What we’re doing
The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment has invited the City to help develop a place strategy for the Pyrmont peninsula.
The place strategy will include a simplified planning framework and a placed-based masterplan that addresses the planning priorities of the eastern city district plan, including:
- identification of sub-precincts
- principles that respond to the character and potential of sub-precincts
- an economic strategy and industry attraction program
- collaborative and inclusive governance arrangements.
The development of a place strategy is the product of the Greater Sydney Commission’s review of planning for Pyrmont in 2019.
Formal public consultation of a draft place strategy and masterplan is expected mid-2020.
For more information about the project or to get involved in community consultation, visit the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s website.
