Bays Precinct
Located on the harbour two kilometres from the CBD, Bays Precinct is a key part of the Sydney Harbour foreshore. It is bounded by the suburbs of Balmain, Rozelle, Lilyfield and Annandale to the north and west, and by Glebe, Ultimo and Pyrmont in the south and east. To the south, there are large areas of open space along the Glebe foreshore.
This 80-hectare site includes:
- Glebe Island
- White Bay
- White Bay Power Station
- Rozelle Bay
- Rozelle Rail Yards
- Blackwattle Bay, including Sydney Fish Market.

Bays Precinct is a diverse area used for maritime, working harbour, commercial maritime and mixed use activities, and also encompasses large areas of disused land.
The future of Bays Precinct is important to both the local community and Sydney's wider population. Future planning for the precinct needs to consider local needs, Sydney's maritime economy and the strengthening of Sydney's role as a global city.
A set of draft planning principles to set the scene for future planning and development of Bays Precinct is being developed based on information and ideas received from the community in stage one of the consultation process completed in November 2009.
Draft planning principles will be exhibited for comment from the community as part of stage two of the consultation process which will take place in 2010. This feedback will be used to finalise the planning principles, which will guide all future planning processes for the precinct.
More information on the second stage of the consultation process will be available over the coming months.
