Sydney\u2019s heart is shaping up for its comeback, with planning complete on the next steps to unlock a potential 2.4 million square metres of new commercial and employment floor space in Central Sydney and Pyrmont.
\nPremier Dominic Perrottet said the finalisation of the\u00a0Central Sydney Planning Strategy provided the perfect opportunity to revamp and improve our great city.
\n\u201cSydney is the nation\u2019s only global city and we have a\u00a0once in a generation opportunity, as we come out the other side of the pandemic, to continue transforming it into one of the world\u2019s greatest cities,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\n\u201cSydney is the world\u2019s gateway to Australia and this strategy will help cement our positions as the epicentre of global investment and innovation as well enhance our natural assets to build a city that is the best place to work, rest and play in the nation.\u201d
\nMinister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said the long awaited finalisation of the\u00a0Strategy will enable more development in the city centre while protecting public space and solar access.
\n\u201cThis is the culmination of years of hard work with the City of Sydney, the community and industry. Towers will be taller, planning processes will become simpler and more transparent, and strict rules will be introduced to protect important public spaces,\u201d Mr Stokes said.
\n\u201cThis Strategy balances Central Sydney\u2019s global role as a hub for business and innovation with its attractiveness as a place to live and play. It brings certainty to the planning system, which will make Central Sydney an even more attractive place to invest.\u201d
\nSimplified new rules for infrastructure contributions will help fund a range of public services to accompany more development, including upgrades to Hyde Park, Belmore Park and George Street, and improvements to community facilities and pedestrian and cycling links.
\nCoinciding with the finalisation of the Central Sydney Planning Strategy is the public exhibition of detailed plans for the Pyrmont Peninsula Place Strategy.
\nConsultation is underway on master plans for the seven sub-precincts, including proposed plans for a new six-star hotel at The Star, UTS Indigenous Residential College, and the two sites for the new Sydney Metro station at Pyrmont.
\n\u201cWe want the community to have its say on the next stage in the evolution of this significant part of Sydney which includes the Pyrmont Metro station development, a key piece of the Pyrmont puzzle planned to priortise pedestrians and enable a new level of connectivity to the Peninsula,\u201d Mr Stokes said.
\nAlong with the seven sub-precinct master plans, amended planning controls and a proposed Special Infrastructure Contribution to help fund Sydney Metro West are also on exhibition. Submissions will be open until 4 February 2022.
