Sydney is undergoing a transformative metamorphosis in an ambitious stride towards the 22nd century. The government of New South Wales is injecting considerable investments into significant developments, set to redefine the city’s skyline and establish sustainable urban cores in the west. These projects offer a new era for business events, conferences, and the overall evolution of the urban lifestyle, all in the spirit of innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity.

The Heart of Tech Innovation.

In a move to claim the title of Australia’s tech startup capital, Sydney is gearing up to introduce Tech Central, a state-of-the-art tech precinct spread over six inner-city neighbourhoods. A conveniently short hop from Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, Tech Central promises a mix of progressive thinking, innovation, and capital investment. Central Place Sydney, the crown jewel of this precinct, features the new tech powerhouse Atlassian’s hybrid workspace. The $3 billion project aims to attract bright minds and investors, promising a synergistic blend of talent and technology.

Revitalising Darling Harbour.

Darling Harbour, an iconic waterside attraction, is also getting a $2 billion overhaul. The project reimagines the original 1980s precinct into a five-story multifunctional hub, housing retail outlets, commercial spaces, and an entertainment quarter. Furthermore, it will offer a seamless connection between Pyrmont, Haymarket, and the city centre. The revitalised precinct is set to house the largest W Hotel in Marriott’s global collection, W Sydney, slated for an October 2023 opening.

Reimagining the Sydney Fish Markets.

A hotspot for over three million visitors yearly, the Sydney Fish Market is undergoing a $750 million transformation. The new design, by acclaimed architects 3XN, pays homage to the fishing industry with its wave-like, scaled roof and stunning views of the wharves. The completion of this vibrant and sustainable precinct is set for 2024.

Barangaroo: A Window to Rich Culture.

Barangaroo adds a new dimension to the Sydney Harbour foreshore by celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the First Nations. This evolving precinct features a multilevel event space – The Cutaway – under the Barangaroo Reserve. The Cutaway, adorned with palm frond-like columns, will house cultural and event facilities spanning three levels.

White Bay: Urban Renewal at Its Best.

White Bay, located in Rozelle, is poised to become a bustling waterside community. The highlight of this precinct is the heritage-listed White Bay Power Station, where urban renewal and cultural developments blend seamlessly.

Westmead: The Health and Innovation District.

Westmead is envisioned to become Australia’s premier health and innovation district by 2036. The vision includes a Health Enterprise Zone where leading researchers, entrepreneurs, health workers, and students converge to create a dynamic and vibrant health community.

Powerhouse Parramatta: An Ode to Science and Technology.

Powerhouse Parramatta is poised to become the largest museum in New South Wales. With seven large-scale exhibition galleries and a world-class STEM education hub, this precinct is expected to draw two million visitors annually.

Bradfield and Western Sydney International Airport: The Future of Travel.

In Western Sydney, the new Western Sydney International Airport is taking shape, situated next to Bradfield, a city hub for the Western Parkland region. This development promises a new era of travel and business opportunities, incorporating green technology and large public spaces.
