Former Prince Alfred Substation Adaptive Reuse project

Reviewed

Project overview

The NSW Government is supporting job creation and economic growth in Central Precinct by making new spaces available for tech start-ups.

As part of the Central Precinct Renewal Program, the unused heritage asset, the Prince Alfred Substationand AC Switch House, will be refurbished as a potential new space for tech and creative industries or start-ups.   

The benefits of the refurbishment include: 

  • Maintain and conserve heritage significance of the state heritage listed substation buildings through sensitive and viable reuse 
  • New fixtures and finishes suitable for a modern workplace 
  • 1,800 square metres of commercial space with modern fixtures and finishes 
  • Accessibility improvements including new lifts, stairs 
  • A new pedestrian entrance from Prince Alfred Park, providing an increased sense of activation to the park  

What's happening now

In April 2022, the City of Sydney approved the Development Application (DA) to carry out the refurbishment. We will continue to keep the community updated as the project progresses.
