Plans for Pyrmont over station development one step closer
14.10.2024
Plans for a mixed-use building above Pyrmont Station are one step closer, with next part of the planning process now complete following the lodgement of the Response to Submissions Report.
The proposed development above Pyrmont Station includes a 31-storey building above the eastern site, located on Union Street. The building will include a mixed-use podium, with commercial and retail uses, and a residential tower to complement the station below, helping to create a vibrant new precinct where people can live, shop, work and play.
Sydney Metro’s lodgement of the Response to Submissions Report is the next step in the planning process for over station development at Pyrmont, providing response to stakeholder and community feedback received during the public exhibition earlier this year.
Stakeholders and community were invited to have their say while the Concept State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for OSD at Pyrmont Station, accompanied by an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), was on public exhibition between 12 March and 9 April 2024. The Response to Submissions Report has now been lodged to the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) for assessment.
A Detailed SSDA will be prepared by the future development partner for Pyrmont, outlining detailed building design and responding to design considerations in the Concept SSDA.
The new station and proposed development in Pyrmont will integrate with the surrounding area, while respecting Pyrmont’s heritage and enhancing the local character. It will link new communities within the Pyrmont Peninsula and Sydney CBD to transport connections, retail and commercial uses, new jobs and housing supply.
The plans for over station development at Pyrmont are aligned with DPHI’s Pyrmont Peninsula Place Strategy to enhance the future vision of the area, while supporting the heritage, amenity and local character of Pyrmont.
Sydney Metro is also making provision for over and/or adjacent station development at Parramatta, Hunter Street and Sydney Olympic Park.
