*The Bays Precinct comprises 95 ha of government land and 5.5 kilometres of harbour front along White Bay, Blackwattle Bay, Johnston Bay and Rozelle Bay, including landmarks such as Glebe Island, White Bay Power Station and The Fish Market. UrbanGrowth NSW was commissioned to lead the transformation of The Bays Precinct into a vibrant hub of enterprise, activity and beautiful spaces. To encourage public participation and include as many people as possible in the transformation of The Bays Precinct, UrbanGrowth conducted a Call for Great Ideas, calling on anyone to share their vision for the future of the Precinct.
