Pyrmont Shake-Up To Generate More Jobs
The New South Wales government has released its final strategy to transform Pyrmont, which envisions the area as a business and cultural hub with enhanced streetscapes, parks and public spaces.
The plans for the Pyrmont Peninsula Place Strategy (pdf), announced last year, include works in The Star, Blackwattle Bay, and Wentworth Park. The government will also utilise land from the Wentworth Park greyhound racing track to create parkland and open community space.
Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said the strategy provided certainty and clarity regarding the future of Pyrmont.
“Our fundamental task was to encourage economic development while enlivening the peninsula, boosting jobs and providing for more quality public open spaces for everyone to enjoy,” Stokes said.
