As one of the final links in this city-shaping network of open spaces, the new Bank Street park extends the foreshore promenade westward from Pyrmont and Darling Harbour, establishing new pedestrian and cycling connections through to Rozelle Bay and the future Bays West precinct. This renewed continuity of movement and experience reinforces the Harbour Foreshore Walk as a cohesive civic landscape, uniting once-disconnected industrial sites into a diverse sequence of public places along the water’s edge.

Positioned directly adjacent to the new Sydney Fish Market, the park forms an integral part of this evolving waterfront precinct—creating a seamless public realm connection between the market, the harbour edge, and future development areas within Bays West.

The master-plan introduces three new buildings within a carefully integrated landscape, developed through close collaboration with the client, specialist consultants, and key stakeholders, including Dragon Boats NSW. Extensive engagement with the City of Sydney, future users, and the First Nations community—particularly the Black Diggers—has ensured the project meaningfully reflects cultural heritage, community values, and the site’s deep historical context.

Envisioned as a dynamic, future-focused public space, Bank Street Park will establish a vital new connection to the Bays West precinct and provide pedestrian access in the future via Glebe Island Bridge, further enhancing connectivity along Sydney’s inner harbour and linking directly to one of the city’s most significant new civic destinations—the Sydney Fish Market.
