Glebe Island Review complete

Infrastructure NSW has completed its independent review of aspects of the NSW Government’s proposal to deliver an innovation district at Glebe Island.

The review found that it is possible to effectively integrate an innovation district with port and bulk construction materials operations, with world-leading and innovative planning and design.

Given the importance of the construction industry to the state’s economy, and the projected increase in demand for concrete in inner Sydney (including for major projects near Glebe Island), the review concluded that Glebe Island should continue to import bulk materials used for the production of concrete for at least the next 20 years.

The Government endorsed the review findings and recommendations in full. The Port Authority of NSW will now work with industry to identify whether suitable commercial arrangements can be reached in support of an integrated port facility on Glebe Island.
