The Edwin Flack Neighbourhood is bounded by the Carter Street Precinct and Edwin Flack Avenue from Shale Street to Birnie Avenue. Located on the edge of Sydney Olympic Park, it provides a transition to the Carter Street Precinct.

Residential development, including student housing and tourist and visitor accommodation will be the dominant uses within the neighbourhood. These uses will activate the periphery of Sydney Olympic Park by encouraging day-to-day movement through the Sports and Civic Precinct and the Urban Centre to the east.

A range of Food and Drink offerings and a mix of local services and businesses will be attracted to the neighbourhood, supporting this lively neighbourhood. Urban tree canopy and a new park at the corner of Edwin Flack Avenue and Shale Street will provide amenity to residents, workers and visitors alike.
