Placemaking NSW
Placemaking NSW was formed in June 2020, incorporating Place Management NSW (formerly Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority). Now part of the Cities and Active Transport division in Transport for NSW, Placemaking NSW focuses on the development and management of some of the most important harbourside precincts in Sydney.
These include high profile precincts of The Rocks, Barangaroo and Darling Harbour, Luna Park, Ballast Point Park and waterfront areas in Pyrmont. These special places include more than 100 heritage buildings as well as unique venues such as the Chinese Garden of Friendship and major event facilities at the International Convention Centre.
The Rocks is considered to be the most significant heritage precinct relating to European settlement in Australia. Items of heritage significance in our precincts include existing and potential archaeological sites, landscapes, buildings, engineering structures, monuments and movable heritage.
When a site is identified as being of heritage significance or has archaeological potential, proposals may require application under the NSW Heritage Act 1977, additional to other statutory approvals and permits.
Placemaking NSW is also currently managing the important remediation and conservation works at White Bay Power Station in Rozelle. It was recently appointed to manage the Bays West Stage 1 urban renewal project and aims to have the site activated in time for the opening of the new Metro West line in 2030. It is also responsible for master planning Rozelle Bay in partnership with Transport for NSW.
