New $800m Sydney Fish Market opens
The $836 million redevelopment doubles visitor capacity to 6 million annually, featuring 40+ food and retail operators plus modern wholesale and auction facilities.
- On January 19, 2026, the Sydney Fish Market opened its new $836 million precinct at Blackwattle Bay, unveiling the major harbourside redevelopment to the public.
- After years of delays and budget increases, the project proposed in 2018 with a $250 million price tag saw the NSW government commit an additional $500 million in 2019, with previous opening dates last year scrapped.
- The new precinct features a 230-metre-long canopy roof, a public auction room, and ice-making systems capable of producing more than 50,000 kilograms daily, housing 42 retailers and 19 wholesalers.
- On opening, people were turned away and crowds queued, while authorities warned parking is limited and urged use of public transport services due to heavy traffic.
- The market is projected to draw 6 million visitors annually, the old site will deliver 1,400 waterfront homes and 2.6 hectares of public space, with $30 million for a commuter wharf and ferry link by 2027.
