NSW government has confirmed the $750million rebuild of Sydney’s historic fish market in Blackwattle Bay. The market is expected to be up and running in 2024, with construction work starting in August 2020.

The project is set to create 700 jobs and when operational it will provide a further 700 ongoing jobs through the opening of restaurants and bars, shops, wholesale and retail markets as well as a working wharf.

The Green Building Council of Australia will give a 6-star green rating as a result of the building’s sustainability features including advanced water efficiencies and solar electricity generation.

Planning and Public Spaces Minister Rob Stokes says, “Building the new Sydney Fish Market at the head of Blackwattle Bay is an incredible opportunity to transform an under-utilised area into a vibrant, accessible and attractive waterfront precinct”.

The project’s major construction phase is due to start in early 2021 with the tender process currently in progress.
