Draft Ward St Precinct Masterplan

Draft Stage 2 Ward St Precinct Masterplan

On 25 June 2018, Council resolved to exhibit the draft Stage 2 Ward Street Precinct Masterplan.

The draft Masterplan (Stage 2) is a response to the feedback received for Stage 1 and sets out to deliver a more informed, comprehensive and realisable vision for the precinct.

The existing Ward Street Precinct is a mix of commercial, mixed use and residential developments at the northern end of the North Sydney CBD. The precinct is bound by McLaren Street to the north, Berry Street to the south, Miller Street to the west and Walker Street to the east.

The draft Ward Street Precinct Masterplan project aims to significantly improve the public domain offering of the CBD and carefully plan for its urban renewal.

There are a number of catalysts for the overall Masterplan:

the return of the Ward Street car park to Council control in 2020; the planned Victoria Cross Metro Station; strong private development interest; the opportunity to set the direction for contemporary best practice planning; and the activation of the North Sydney Centre.

The Stage 2 development process has resulted in two masterplan options for consideration:

Option - Miller St Square Option - Central Square  

Both options seek to deliver transformative public domain amenity and significant community use benefits within the North Sydney Centre.
