Master Plan 2050 - Stage 1

Sydney Olympic Park's Master Plan 2050 is being created to realise the new vision for Sydney Olympic Park to be - Sydney’s Beating Green Heart - a place that is energised with everyday life, is country-first and nature-positive and is where Sydney comes to play.

Master Plan 2050 will ensure a coordinated, long term development plan is prepared for the whole precinct and will be documented in two key stages: Stage 1 (Strategic Place Framework - this project page) and Stage 2 (Master Plan 2050 - now on exhibition click here).

Building on the work of the Sydney Olympic Park 2050 Vision and Strategy and incorporating the feedback from the Park community and stakeholders, Master Plan 2050 focuses on the role that Sydney Olympic Park plays to address some of Greater Sydney’s intractable problems, including provision of new and diverse housing options and jobs growth, social infrastructure for improved liveability, green spaces for high density communities and solutions for greater resilience to address the impacts of pandemics, climate change and habitat fragmentation.

Strategic Place Framework

The Strategic Place Framework (Draft for Discussion) forms the strategic planning basis of the Master Plan. The Place Framework starts to identify where in Sydney Olympic Park the aspirations in the Vision will be realised on the ground. This work is then developed into precinct controls in the Master Plan 2050.

The NSW Government's commitment to Sydney Metro West and specifically a station at Sydney Olympic Park, is the biggest investment in the suburb since the Sydney 2000 Games. This welcome addition of a metro station will bring forward development and be the catalyst for the delivery of more housing and jobs in the geographic heart of Sydney.

Around 28,650 residents are forecast to be living in Sydney Olympic Park by 2050. This is a significant increase from today’s residential population of 3,700. Master Plan 2050 will leverage this investment in Sydney Metro West to reimagine Sydney Olympic Park as a place that provides more housing, greater affordability, and a connected and livable suburb that is adaptive and resilient to our changing climate.

This Place Framework is a draft document to further conversations with the community and stakeholders. It includes aspirational targets, future moves and innovative strategies for delivery and aims to challenge perceptions and long-held ideas about Sydney Olympic Park.
