The NSW Government has outlined its strategic vision for Pyrmont and the Western Harbour precinct as a vibrant residential, entertainment and innovation hub on the fringe of Sydney\u2019s CBD.
\nPremier Gladys Berejiklian today announced the Greater Sydney Commission had been directed to immediately review the area\u2019s planning rules to ensure they are consistent with the Government\u2019s vision for its future.
\n\u201cI am sending a strong message that Pyrmont is open for business and ready to be taken to the next level,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.
\n\u201cSydney is Australia\u2019s only true global city and we have a unique opportunity before us to transform Pyrmont and the Western Harbour precint into an iconic destination.
\n\u201cWith a growing population, we know there will be more development in Pyrmont in the future. With that will come opportunities to build more transport links including a potential Metro station.
\n\u201cWhile individual applications will continue to be determined on their merits, this review sends a clear signal that our government believes the Pyrmont area has a bright and exciting future as a key part of the NSW visitor economy.\u201d
\nPlanning and Public Spaces Minister Rob Stokes said the GSC\u2019s review would also include recommendations to the Government on how to support a greater diversity of development in the precinct.
\n\u201cWe need to ensure planning rules for the area are still relevant, particularly with major projects planned including the new Sydney Fishmarket, the Ultimo Creative Arts Precinct and Bays Precinct,\u201d Mr Stokes said.
\n\u201cWe must ensure that our planning system is clear and effective in supporting the type and scale of development needed in a top quality, vibrant, mixed-use precinct.
\n\u201cWe must also ensure that any major plans to transform the area are supported with the right infrastructure to create a vibrant destination for locals, visitors and businesses alike.\u201d
