Renewing the old Sydney Fish Market site

OCULUS has been selected to work on the redevelopment of the old Sydney Fish Market site for Infrastructure NSW as part of Mirvac’s team, alongside Woods Bagot, Balarinji, Six Degrees, Urbis, Arup, Cundall, and AT&L. 

The 3.6-hectare once-industrial waterfront site will be transformed into a vibrant mixed-use precinct, with over 1,400 homes, commercial and retail. The project will deliver 2.6-hectares of public space for outdoor living, along with a new public foreshore promenade and a boardwalk that will seamlessly connect to a new waterfront park on Bank Street, and form part of a 15-kilometre continuous harbourside path linking Woolloomooloo and Rozelle. 

The project team acknowledges that this place – where life is connected to water – has been cared for by Traditional and Connected Custodians, including D’harawal, Dharug, Gadigal, Gai-maragal, Gundungarra, and Guringai Peoples. Anchored by its harbour edge and deep stories of Country, the precinct will connect the shoreline, revive lost ecologies, and re-establish the bay as a place of movement, memory and gathering.  

The site is close to the new Sydney Fish Market, which opened on 19 January 2026, and a 5-minute walk from the future Pyrmont Metro station. Planned public amenity includes a central pedestrianised lane, cycleways, a skatepark, community facilities, and a community pavilion. 

In line with its sustainability ambition to decarbonise by 2030, Mirvac will target a net zero carbon precinct, which includes a 55 per cent reduction in embodied carbon. Mirvac will also partner with the Sydney Institute of Marine Sciences to undertake nature-based intervention to improve water quality, introduce circularity to reuse and reduce waste, and improve biodiversity on site with extensive native planting. 

Construction is set to commence in early 2027, with the entire project due to be finished in 2033.
