Pyrmont and the Western Harbour precinct will be transformed into the next jobs hub and economic driver of Sydney under a NSW Government plan to revitalise the key inner-city precinct.
\nPremier Gladys Berejiklian made the announcement following the release of the Greater Sydney Commission\u2019s (GSC) review into the area\u2019s planning rules.
\n\u201cToday we are sending a clear message that Pyrmont is open for business and ready to be taken to the next level,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.
\n\u201cWe are, for the first time, treating Pyrmont and the Western Harbour precinct as the gateway to the CBD.
\n\u201cFor our city and State to continue to be the jobs capital of the nation, we need this area to be revitalised. We have successfully transformed Barangaroo into a spectacular waterfront precinct and are in the midst of revitalising Central.
\n\u201cPyrmont is the next frontier.\u201d
\nPlanning and Public Spaces Minister Rob Stokes said the NSW Government would immediately move to amend the planning controls with a focus on jobs and economic activity to better support proposals to develop the area.
\n\u201cWe can support larger-scale development and maintain the unique heritage nature of Pyrmont \u2013 it\u2019s not an \u2018either\/or\u2019 choice,\u201d Mr Stokes said.
\n\u201cHowever, we must plan for the precinct strategically, rather than on a site-by-site basis, to ensure the long-term liveabilty and sustainability of the area.\u201d
\nThe NSW Government will fast-track work to investigate the feasibility of building a Metro station in Pyrmont to support greater density and jobs in the area.
\nMr Stokes said the Government would also ensure there is greater coordination of large scale developments in Pyrmont, including the Powerhouse, Bays Precinct, Harbourside Shopping Centre, University of Technology Sydney expansion, the Star casino and the existing and future Fish Market sites.
\n\u201cThis is our opportunity to work together to develop a vision and collaboratively plan for the future of Pyrmont, which hasn\u2019t been done in more than 20 years,\u201d Mr Stokes said.
\n\u201cThis is a prime jobs and tourism precinct on the fringe of the CBD which will become increasingly important as our city grows.\u201d
\nThe NSW Government has accepted the three key recommendations of the GSC report, which can be found here:\u00a0www.greater.sydney\/project\/pyrmont-planning-review<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
