Bays West Masterplan

Stage 1 of the Masterplan for Bays West area (White Bay, Power Station, Rozelle Railyards) was on exhibition in May 2022. The underground Metro West line will have a station entrance to the east of the Power Station, and there will probably be a large apartment block between the Metro station and the Anzac Bridge approach. The grain silos are to be retained.

Open space with a promenade is to be a feature along the harbour edge in White Bay infront of the silos, although the Cruise Terminal will remain.

The Metro Station and Power Station precinct will be a major node for a number of cycling routes, from the City via (it is hoped, not yet announced) the old Glebe Island Bridge, from Balmain via Robert St, from Victoria Rd, from Annandale and from the west via Lilyfield Rd and the new Railyard Park.

Masterplan vision 2040


Note the 2040 vision shows a link under the Anzac Bridge approach to James Craig Rd and even a bridge across Rozelle Bay to Glebe!

We put in a submission on the importance of these bicycle links, and how some innovative thinking could lead to world class bicycle access to and through this area.

See post on latest developments at the White Bay Power Station. Placemaking NSW is responsible for the Power Station and public domain works and has received $17m funding for improved AT links in the precinct, including a path direct to the Power Station from the Anzac Bridge cycleway and the new Victoria Rd pedestrian underpass, something Bike Leichhardt has been calling for for years.
