Pyrmont Bays West 4K | New Waterfront Precinct Walking Tour

Is this Sydney's answer to the housing crisis or a billion-dollar mistake? Walk to Pyrmont to see the massive Bays West Anzac Bridge redevelopment. Is this massive Sydney Harbour waterfront development the ultimate answer to our housing crisis, or is it a multi-billion-dollar mistake that is simply too little, too late? On this relaxed Sydney walking tour, we explore the western side of the Pyrmont peninsula, tracking the foreshore path from Waterfront Park straight through Pirrama Park to the Tied to Tide kinetic sculpture. We look directly across Johnstons Bay to dissect the controversial Bays West master plan announced by the NSW Government. Looming large right next to the iconic spans of the Anzac Bridge, this massive seventy-seven-hectare urban renewal precinct will completely transform the historic White Bay Power Station and the old commercial wharfing area into Sydney’s newest inner-city suburb, delivering up to eight thousand five hundred new high-density homes by 2032. As we stroll past luxury cliffside apartment complexes, we contrast this upcoming development with Pyrmont’s own industrial evolution from the historic Colonial Sugar Refinery (CSR) era. We also unpack local context, including the John Street Square light rail transport links, the Pyrmont Mistletoe Wine Festival, and real-world property market data—detailing current median unit sales and weekly rent prices.
