New $800m Sydney Fish Market opens
The $836 million Sydney Fish Market at Blackwattle Bay doubles retail space and aims to attract 6 million visitors annually, with a strict 5,000-person capacity limit on opening day.
- On January 19, the new Sydney Fish Market opened at Blackwattle Bay after years of planning and delays; the $800 million redevelopment is expected to attract 6 million visitors annually.
- Proposed in 2018, the redevelopment began as a $250 million plan but costs blew out after 2019 when the NSW government committed an extra $500 million, raising the final budget to $836 million.
- Housed beneath a 200-metre canopy, the centre offers expanded trading hours and roomier retail space, hosting about 40 retailers including Luke Nguyen’s Lua Restaurant and upgraded wholesale and auction facilities.
- Market staff reported capacity limits within hours of opening, with a 5000-person cap monitored by sensors, while authorities added 150 weekly L1 Dulwich Hill Line services and more frequent trams.
- Exports and new transport links are part of the market’s longer-term plan, enabling exports to Asia and the United States while $30 million funds a Barangaroo commuter wharf and $40 million upgrades Wentworth Park.
