A bold new future has been set for Sydney Olympic Park, as both a world class sport and entertainment precinct and vibrant community with homes and jobs.
The precinct's future will be guided by the Minns Labor Government's finalised Sydney Olympic Park Master Plan 2050. The finalised plan increases the homes planned for the precinct by 2000 so more families can live close to jobs, schools, transport and other amenities.
The Master Plan continues to support the 640-hectare precinct as a vibrant sports and entertainment hub while also delivering a diverse mix of housing, retail and commercial spaces.
Key features of the Master Plan include:
- Building up to 13,000 additional homes to provide a total of 15,000 homes, including up to 20 percent affordable housing on Government owned land and 5 per cent on private land.
- Increasing the capacity for up to 26,000 jobs by unlocking investment in innovation, culture, and commercial precincts.
- Delivering more for families with 10 new playgrounds, 9 new outdoor public spaces and 4 new sports fields.
- Protecting and enhancing 430 hectares of public open space, increasing tree canopy and boosting biodiversity including wetlands and parklands.
- Protecting and celebrating our first nations heritage in the area.
- Providing cultural and recreational opportunities with a cultural centre, library and community hub, and sports and leisure centre planned for the precinct.
- Dedicating land for schools, to support a thriving, inclusive suburb.
- Continuing to support a vibrant night-time economy for locals and visitors to enjoy.
Alongside the Master Plan we're also working to establish a Special Entertainment Precinct in Sydney Olympic Park to reinforce the precincts evolution into a vibrant mixed-use destination.
This vision will come to life over the next 25 years, the proposed growth aligning with major infrastructure upgrades like Sydney Metro West, the Parramatta Light Rail extension, and infrastructure upgrades such as the state and federally funded upgrade to the Homebush Bay Drive roundabout.
The finalisation of the Master Plan follows extensive public and stakeholder consultation, with changes incorporated based on stakeholder and community input. For more information and to view the final Master Plan, visit https://www.sydneyolympicpark.nsw.gov.au/master-plan
To complement the Master Plan we've also released new Environmental Guidelines which continue Sydney Olympic Park's legacy from the 'Green Games' as a leader in sustainability. For more information on the guidelines https://www.sydneyolympicpark.nsw.gov.au/master-plan
This is another example of the Minns Labor Government building better and more vibrant communities right across NSW.
Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said:
"More than 25 years on from the Sydney Olympics, Sydney Olympic Park remains a world class hub for sport and entertainment and now a growing community while maintaining the legacy of the 'Green Games'.
"The 2050 Master Plan builds on this, maintaining what we love most about the precinct while guiding growth so the precinct can support up to 26,000 jobs and 15,000 homes by 2050.
"This is another example of the Minns Labor Government supporting vibrant communities and aligning housing growth with transport and infrastructure capacity so people can live, work and play close to home in a community they choose."
Member for Parramatta Donna Davis said:
"I am thrilled to see the Sydney Olympic Park Master Plan finalised and the benefits it will bring for our local community.
"Sydney Olympic Park will be seamlessly connected to major transport infrastructure, including Sydney Metro West.
"The precincts public transport links will be matched with strong pedestrian and cycling connections, so residents and visitors can enjoy easy, sustainable access to jobs, schools, and everything our community has to offer."
Sydney Olympic Park Authority CEO Neisha D'Souza said:
"This is a momentous day for Sydney Olympic Park.
"The Master Plan 2050 is the catalyst for investment and growth - bringing certainty and unlocking opportunity. We're proudly creating a place that celebrates its history while embracing a future of innovation, culture, and community-first design."
