The Minns Labor Government has established the new Bays West Delivery Authority to lead the development of the Bays West Precinct and Blackwattle Bay Precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Authority is charged with creating Sydney\u2019s newest precinct, a thriving, connected, sustainable hub with White Bay Power Station as its cultural heart. Its vision is to build on the area\u2019s natural, cultural and industrial history to shape a vibrant new neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The precinct will deliver up to 8,500 well-located homes, including a minimum of 10 per cent affordable and essential worker homes. Combine new housing with public open space, opening public access to the waterfront for the first time in more than 100 years, while retaining important deep-water facilities to support Sydney\u2019s working harbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Located just minutes from the Sydney CBD and connected to a world-class metro, ferry, walking and cycling links, the Bays West precinct will rebalance housing growth towards well-serviced inner-city locations and help tackle the state\u2019s housing crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bays West Delivery Authority, an agency of the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, will report to the NSW Minister for Lands and Property who already has oversight of major precinct renewal projects including at Blackwattle Bay and Barangaroo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the broader Bays West transformation, the Minns Government recently announced that a proposal from Lendlease to redevelop part of the Bays West Precinct has progressed to Stage 2 of the NSW Government\u2019s unsolicited proposals process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A New Suburb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Minns Labor Government has today also confirmed the Bays West precinct will have a new suburb name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will be the first major suburb built in close proximity to Sydney\u2019s CBD in decades and will encompass the area currently being referred to as Bays West, including Glebe Island and the White Bay Power Station. Served by a new Metro station just 5 minutes from the CBD, it will become one of the most populous suburbs in the Inner West and one of Sydney\u2019s premier cultural destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Design Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Authority is making great strides with the development of an early works program which includes the first stages of an international design competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The aim of the Bays West International Design Competition is to ensure design excellence is embedded in the project from the start. The competition will deliver an urban framework that defines the character,\u202fambition\u202fand long-term identity of this former industrial precinct as it transitions to a vibrant,\u202finclusive\u202fand sustainable residential neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The competition will be led by the\u202fBays\u202fWest Delivery\u202fAuthority\u202fin partnership with Government Architect NSW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It will launch with an invitation for a global Expressions of Interest, before moving to an invitation-only stage that will be assessed by a panel that will provide advice to Cabinet who will select a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The successful team will play an ongoing role in the development of the precinct. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Premier of NSW, Chris Minns said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe establishment of the new Authority is the first step in transforming the Bays West precinct into a vibrant, livable suburb minutes from the Sydney CBD and two stops from Hunter St Station on the Metro West line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Authority will deliver well-located homes close to the heart of the city and integrate the new precinct with Blackwattle Bay and the new Sydney Fish Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is a generational opportunity to build a new suburb on the city\u2019s edge and open the harbour foreshore to the public for the first time in a century.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minister for Lands and Property Steve Kamper said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe new Bays West Delivery Authority established by the Minns Government will turbocharge the development of Sydney\u2019s newest suburb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Authority is working at a record pace to deliver an international design competition, planning pathways and a financial model so that this development benefits Sydney with well-designed homes in a central location, close to public transport, jobs, entertainment and essential services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf we want Sydney to stay liveable and affordable, we need to be bold about using underutilised government-owned land to deliver homes for the future while making sure essential working harbour functions can be accommodated.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Minns Labor Government has established the new Bays West Delivery Authority to lead the development of the Bays West Precinct and Blackwattle Bay Precinct.
