Construction work on the new Sydney Fish Market is underway, with foundation piling work starting on the revitalized cultural icon on Sydney\u2019s waterfront.
\nPremier Dominic Perrottet said the work was a major milestone for the $750 million Sydney Fish Market, improving the iconic destination and unlocking previously inaccessible harbour-front land for the community to enjoy.
\n\u201cThe Sydney Fish Market is a part of who we are as a city, part of our holidays and barbecues and it draws thousands of tourists. We\u2019re finally giving it the building it deserves,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\n\u201cNot only will this create more than 700 jobs during construction, but also direct hundreds of millions of dollars of work to be awarded to local suppliers.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re laying the foundations for the new fish markets as part of our vision for Sydney, breathing new life into our much-loved markets, boosting tourism and jobs in beautiful Blackwattle Bay.
\n\u201cThe NSW Government is building the Sydney of the future, returning the foreshore to the public, creating 6,000 square metres of new public domain, and improving pedestrian and cycling links.\u201d
\nMinister for Jobs and Tourism Stuart Ayres said the new Sydney Fish Market will be within walking distance of Sydney CBD and includes easy access to current and future transport connections to improve the overall experience for local, interstate and overseas visitors.
\n\u201cOnce complete, the new Sydney Fish Market will play a vital role in attracting local and international visitors to bolster tourism in Sydney and stimulate the economy,\u201d Mr Ayres said.
\nGreg Dyer, CEO Sydney Fish Market said the new Sydney Fish Market will strengthen its position as one of Australia\u2019s most famous cultural icons.
\n\u201cThe refreshed and modernised Sydney Fish Market will retain an authentic seafood market experience to ensure it remains one of Australia\u2019s leading tourist destinations. The iconic building will also strengthen pride in the Australian seafood industry, as we educate visitors and inspire them to further support the country\u2019s fishing communities.\u201d\u00a0Mr. Dyer said.
\nDaniel Murphy, Multiplex Regional Manager said Multiplex is excited to be partnering with the NSW Government on this pivotal project.
\n\u201cThe new Sydney Fish Market is a highly complex project being built under and over Blackwattle Bay. With an award-winning design by 3XN, and\u00a0together with our local supply partners and consultants,\u00a0we are confident it will deliver an amazing outcome for the community and the Australian seafood industry,\u201d Mr. Murphy said.
