Error: no decision tree source folder detected Sydney’s waterfront is set for a transformation with the arrival of Pyrmont Place a landmark $900 million residential development by Landream Positioned in the heart of the Blackwattle Bay precinct at 14-26 Wattle Street this project is poised to redefine urban luxury while reinvigorating Pyrmont as one of Sydney’s most desirable waterfront neighbourhoods Landream’s vision for Pyrmont Place is one where high-end residential living meets a thriving urban environment with its blend of heritage charm and contemporary architecture. With a limited release of 237 premium residences and studios starting at $850,000, demand for Pyrmont Place is expected to be strong according to Chris Pratt, Head of Development - NSW. “This development caters to those seeking inner-city luxury without sacrificing peace and privacy. "Located minutes from the CBD, with unmatched connectivity and state-of-the-art amenities, it’s a rare opportunity in a rising market. "With resort-style amenities, on-site childcare, and proximity to top schools like Ultimo Public School, UTS, and USYD, it appeals to young professionals, families, and downsizers alike.” Pyrmont Place benefits from an unrivalled location, offering direct access to the picturesque Blackwattle Bay. Future residents will find themselves just moments from the vibrant Sydney Fish Market, which is undergoing its own transformation into a world-class culinary destination through a visionary $750 million redevelopment that combines architecture, sustainability, and food culture. “Blackwattle Bay is undergoing a significant revitalisation, including a new 30-metre-wide waterfront promenade, a 15km foreshore walk, and the redevelopment of the Sydney Fish Market into the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. "This precinct will offer a vibrant, sustainable, and well-connected waterfront community, making it a highly desirable place to live,” said Mr Pratt. The precinct’s connectivity is another major drawcard, with existing Light Rail at the doorstep and upcoming transport links, including the Sydney Metro West station at Pyrmont which will ensure seamless access to the CBD and surrounding suburbs. Pyrmont Place is in a premium Darling Harbour location perfect for luxury city living. Pyrmont Place offers a diverse selection of apartments, catering to various lifestyles and preferences. From stylish studios to expansive four-bedroom residences, each home has been meticulously designed to maximise natural light and views of the bay, city, and park. “The interior vision seamlessly blends modernity with timeless warmth,” Mr Pratt explained. “There are two curated palettes – Cirrus and Terra, which draw inspiration from Sydney’s land and skyscapes. "Cirrus features light oak and soft greys, while Terra offers richer timbers and moody grey stone, all complemented by brushed nickel fixtures and timber flooring.” High-end finishes and fixtures are at the forefront, featuring premium brands such as Gaggenau and Liebherr appliances in the kitchen within timber-look joinery, anchored by marble islands that subtly reference the area’s historic sandstone cliffs. Purchasers have the option to incorporate a wine fridge and bespoke bar in their apartment. Modern, smartly designed interiors are a core feature of Prymont Place's sophisticated apartments. Residents will enjoy extensive world-class amenities by the acclaimed architectural firms BVN and OCULUS who have ensured to integrate relaxation, recreation, and social connection throughout their design. At the heart of the development is a heated swimming pool with a sunbathing deck, BBQ area and lawn space. There is also a state-of-the-art gym on site, a dog wash facility for residents with furry friends, a car sharing service, and a childcare centre. One of the most impressive amenities is the underground recreation centre with sports courts and multi-function rooms. The underground recreation centre is just one of Pyrmont Place's first-class amenities. Additionally, there’s a selection of thoughtfully curated spaces such as music rooms, private dining facilities, work from home pods, communal landscaped terraces and wellness areas. There are also lush green spaces throughout the building creating a harmonious balance between urban living and nature. Rooftop gardens and landscaped courtyards provide tranquil retreats, fostering a sense of community within the development.

Distributor Road Network Improvements project will improve safety and efficiency at key traffic bottlenecks or pinch points on the Western Distributor and reduce the flow on effect of incidents on surrounding roads Improvements to the Western Distributor commenced in late 2023 and will be delivered in stages We are focused on improving traffic flow through the Harris and Allen Street intersection and reducing queueing in the morning peak on the Allen Street off-ramp we will reconfigure the intersection to provide three eastbound lanes on Allen Street with two right-turn lanes onto Harris Street We are committed to reducing any inconvenience as much as possible access to shops and Harris Street bus stops will be maintained via the remaining three pedestrian crossings and improved traffic signal phasing will minimise crossing times for pedestrians and cyclists Work to deliver the changes at the intersection will begin in early 2025 and is expected to be complete by late 2025 The Allen Street and Harris Street intersection work will be delivered in stages and Transport will continue to keep the community updated as the project progresses See ‘explore the map’ section for further details The first stage of work was completed in late 2023 and included: The two Anzac digger memorial sculptures on the western approach to Anzac Bridge are currently being refurbished Work began in June 2024 and is expected to be complete in late 2024 In a commitment to partnering with others to create great places we are working closely with the NSW Office of Veterans’ Affairs the Returned Services League of Australia NSW Branch and representatives of Country to explore opportunities This will include a safe space for people to come and reflect on the Anzac legacy as well as a plaque to acknowledge First Nations diggers Revitalising the statues and improving the local area will encourage visitors workers and local community to better connect with the bridge's history as they get out and explore Sydney.  Changes at this intersection include:  These changes will reduce morning peak queues on Bank Street and the off-ramp improve traffic flow and reduce wait times for pedestrians and cyclists Work to upgrade this intersection will commence in 2025 after the Fish Markets have moved to their new location in Blackwattle Bay A new on-ramp at Darling Harbour was proposed as part of the REF scope however delivery of this component is limited to enabling works only Delivery of the weave ramp is subject to a future investment decision and there is currently no time frame for completion.  The new ramp would join the Western Distributor from the existing Fig Street on-ramp at Pyrmont It would provide safer and more direct access to the lane that connects the Western Distributor to the Sydney Harbour Bridge reducing the need for motorists to cross multiple lanes It will also remove the need for traffic to merge abruptly For updates about the Western

Akipan is a Japanese bakery and cafe in Pyrmont selling loaves of shokupan or soft Japanese milk bread There is also a cafe menu with around half a dozen varieties of their shokupan with sweet and savoury Japanese style toppings as well as coffees and teas Find out what the must orders are here that you should not miss It was during a very rainy weekend in Sydney at the end of November when we make our way to Pyrmont hoping that the rain holds out We luck out with a park right near the Japanese bakery and cafe which makes it seem like a sign that braving the rain was a good idea Akipan is serendipitously located on Bunn Street There are around half a dozen people milling outside Akipan at around 11am There are three tables outside and one bench and we wanted to make sure that we could eat in so we headed there earlier than our usual lunch hour The menu consists of a photo display of each of the toast offerings These toasts use their house baked shokupan with toppings like cream cheese and banana on raisin toast French toast or their version of a Monte Cristo sandwich Sophia and I decide to share four between us Inside where you order there are also displays of round and square shokupan loaves in flavours like hojicha marble These are sold as half loaves for $14 or whole loaves for $24 I see a woman buy a whole loaf and they package it up nicely in a paper bag and then slip it in a clear plastic bag - so Japanese While in there I also spy some of the bread rolls that I used to buy a lot when I lived in Japan These diamond shaped loaves have a split down the centre exposing their fillings These were usually filled with tasty cheese but here they're filled with corn and cheese so for nostalgia's sake I buy one as well as a small bacon cheese roll too perfect for this grey day with a nice kick from the ginger and caffeine The toasts are made to order so we start on the two ready made buns as you just help yourselves to those from the display In Japan the bread is crispier but perhaps the wet day has taken the crispy edge off these After we take these home and heat them up in an oven it does the trick crisping it up very nicely Similarly the bacon and cheese roll heats up very nicely and has a good ratio of bacon and cheese to bread And just a note: the buns are both the same price but the corn mayo is much larger It's a slice of multigrain shokupan spread with a miso These three ingredients combine perfectly to create an incredibly moreish topping that reminds me of tuna salad but without actual tuna or fishiness Their tarama salad is less salty and quite a bit milder than Greek taramasalata It is nice though but I think that I was hoping for a stronger flavour Onto the sweet toasts - the An Butter has a thick layer of sweetened red beans and a square of slowly melting butter on the premium matcha marble toast This is pure Japan in every bite and I really like the sweetness of the An with the flavour of the matcha But the toast that we all came to try is the mochi kinako on hojicha toast Kinako is a toasted soybean flour that tastes nutty (when I first moved to Japan and tried it I thought it was roasted peanut powder) and it pairs perfectly with the nuttiness of the hojicha's roasted green tea flavour The mochi stretches perfectly and I adore the texture of the chewy And if you're going to get one sweet toast I saw so many Monte Cristo sandwiches going past us that I just had to go in and order one to take home for Mr NQN The Monte Cristo sandwich comes out piping hot with a very generous amount of ham and gooey cheese inside I like this spread with some karashi mustard because it can be very much on the sweet side as it has a sweet savoury balance like maple bacon pancakes Oh and if you spy a bag of rusks on the counter make sure to buy a bag If you love the crunch of caramelised croissants then I think you'll love these batons of their caramelised shokupan They are the perfect snack to go with an afternoon tea or coffee which toast do you like the sound of the best Do you venture out to cafes when it rains or do you prefer to stay home Police have commenced an investigation into a brawl near the Sydney CBD About 10.30pm yesterday (Saturday 19 April 2025) officers from Sydney City Police Area Command responded to reports of up to 40 people brawling in a park on Pirrama Road Three men – two aged 24 and one aged 21 - were arrested at the scene It will be alleged that officers deployed capsicum spray to affect the arrest of one of the older men NSW Ambulance paramedics treated one of the 24-year-old men and a 31-year-old man at the scene where they were taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and St Vincent's Hospitals respectively The 24-year-old man was charged in hospital with affray The second 24-year-old man was also charged with affray at Day Street Police Station Both men have been granted conditional bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday 14 May 2025 The 21-year-old man was later released from police custody without charge None of the injuries are considered as life threatening A crime scene was established that was later examined by specialist police Inquiries have established all persons involved in the brawl had disembarked from a charter vessel at the location a short time earlier As investigations continue police are urging anyone with information about the brawl – or who may have any available dashcam/mobile phone footage – to contact Sydney City Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au Information is managed on a confidential basis The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages Will you spritz or serve first? The Jar Pickleball have expanded from Melbourne to open their first Sydney court, so you know we had to go along and check it out. At its heart, pickleball is designed to be a fun, engaging way to get your body moving; there’s no smashed paddle or McEnroe-esque temper tantrums over line calls here. Played at a relaxed pace, pickleball is as much a social activity as it is a competitive one, making it ideal for group activity, or for colleagues to sneak away from the office and get a break from your desk. The Jar Pyrmont features two courts in stylish, soothing shades of green. What’s got us equally excited, however, is the addition of the courtside bar, which is currently serving up Aperol Spritzes and beers on tap to reward your sporting triumphs. Take a seat in the comfy orange deckchairs, drink in hand, and watch the action unfold on the court – perhaps even picking up some pointers to hone your own pickleball skills in the meantime. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Jar (@thejar_pickleballclub) Will you be picking up a paddle and trying out pickleball Gallon Wine Bar and Restaurant truly wears its Pyrmont history with pride Located inside a heritage sandstone building Gallon retains the charm and nostalgia of its past while boasting modern imaginative interior design features and decor comprehensive wine list and impeccable service and it’s easy to see why this Pyrmont identity draws patrons from near and far Even the name “Gallon” references the past; it refers to the gallon of rum that was paid by John MacArthur to purchase the land around Pyrmont Gallon the restaurant came into being in 2009 when Jarina and Julian bought what was then an office space in a burgeoning Pyrmont destination precinct and completely refurbished the two storey space to create a beautiful dining venue featuring exposed sandstone walls a restaurant that is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the taste buds “We’ve got lots of little things we’ve picked up from the auction places that have a meaning around Pyrmont: how Pyrmont formed what it used to be…every time you come and you sit in a different place you feel like you’re in a different bar,” says Jarina of course — Gallon has a stunning menu to match Jarina hails from Slovakia where the cuisine puts emphasis on freshness and simplicity and she transfers that food philosophy to Gallon Ingredients are locally sourced and always fresh they offer seasonal specials along with their signature dishes some of which have gained their own celebrity status We’ve got one of the best chicken wings in NSW,” boasts Jarina share plates (including hot crumbed cheese) each of which is named after a member of Jarina’s family Gallon is very popular among wine connoisseurs and those who appreciate a well selected or well constructed beverage Gallon is one of the preferred venues for Sydney Wine Centre to hold wine tasting events Gallon has also just launched their spritz season featuring various refreshing spritz recipes but Pyrmont is also in the heart of Gallon they share stories and suggest attractions to their patrons and they have built relationships with other businesses in the area we’ve got a quick menu for people who come pre-show,” says Jarina There are a variety of spaces available for functions They can cater for 10 to 150 people with the bigger areas being the Sunroom Pyrmont is set to host a voluminous new theatre after the struggling operator of the Star Casino agreed to sell its events complex – a move which should prove a cultural boon for the city Foundation Theatres — the company of theatre entrepreneur Stephen Found — which operates the Capitol Theatre and the Sydney Lyric announced the agreement with Star Entertainment on Wednesday “​​We are pleased to share that Foundation Theatres has signed an agreement to purchase three new venues within The Star Sydney,” the theatre owner and operator announced “The Event Centre and additional spaces will be converted into three exciting new Sydney venues to host theatre live entertainment and contemporary music in Sydney.” “The Event Centre will continue to operate as usual whilst planning continues for its redevelopment into a 1550 seat Broadway style theatre Planning has also commenced for a contemporary music venue for up to 1000 and a flexible venue for theatre The Broadway-esque theatre hall and the separate 1000-seat space would be situated next to the Sydney Lyric which is also located in The Star complex and is operated under a sublease agreement with Star Entertainment acquired in 2011 The company was optimistic about the impact the new development will have on Sydney’s arts scene “We can’t wait to see what opportunities these venues bring to the performing arts industry in Sydney,” it said executive director of business advocacy group Business Sydney hailed the announcement as “a classic win-win for our wonderful city.” These facilities will be joined by the Foundry Theatre, a “unique, intimate theatre” located behind the Sydney Lyric which opens on 11 February Foundation Theatres describes that theatre as a cosier and more adaptable than other halls “Presenting a wide variety of premium entertainment patrons are transported on a theatrical journey to an intimate space where anything is possible performers and audience intertwine in a theatre where no two visits will be the same.” The new performing arts spaces are hoped to revitalise Sydney’s performing arts sector with the city struggling from a lack of suitable venues for its size Stephen Found will go from operating two venues to six cementing his place as a performing arts mogul He first acquired the Capitol Theatre in 2009 with the Sydney Lyric coming two years later he was re-appointed to the Music Australia Council for a four-year term by arts minister Tony Burke “With a passionate interest in the arts, Mr Found is constantly looking for ways to support the vibrant live performance industry in Australia,” the ministry said at the time Sydney’s one-time social hub Kings Cross may benefit from last year’s purchase of the art deco Metro Minerva Theatre with theatre fans hoping the venue will be reopened Should that happen in addition to the slated emergence of a new performing arts precinct in Pyrmont it would represent a complete reversal of the fortunes of the city’s performing arts industry the fortunes of the embattled Star Casino and its operator are still shaky Star Entainment hopes the cash injection from the sale of its events centre will help it remain solvent but more sales are on the table according to Star Entertainment chief executive and managing director Steve McCann “We continue to work on a number of other potential non-core asset transactions,” McCann said brands and creators will converge to explore the latest insights and strategies driving success in the world of sound From cutting-edge innovations

The all-day food menu features hearty breakfasts, nibblies, share plates and bar snacks and has an Asian fusion based cuisine.  “We relaunched our food and beverage back in April, and the reason was, I felt like the product we offered at the time was just very standard hotel stuff,” says Luther. “We wanted to offer something that’s a bit more of a better product at an affordable price at a venue that’s got a good atmosphere.” Because of its proximity to International Convention Centre, Aiden attracts a lot of corporate and business travellers and The Wayfarer offers them a nice quiet place to come to after an event. “We have corporates who might go to a conference, come back, bring colleagues in for some drinks — for those who don’t want to necessarily end up at a pub.” The Wayfarer offers a comfortable space with fast wifi where guests can sit and do some work while enjoying a drink, coffee and a light snack.  Aiden is also a perfect weekender.

band featuring a handsome and charismatic bazouki player plays a mix of traditional and modern music “We’ve got a little dance floor as well because they will get up and dance as the night progresses

also has several special events throughout the year Coming up is their very popular Jacaranda Cruise Featuring two of their smaller heritage boats the cruises take advantage of the many jacaranda trees that line the shores of Sydney Harbour beginning of November when the jacaranda is in bloom,” explains Nicola from SHF “We use our small vessels so they can actually go quite close into the bays so you have a really nice view of all the back gardens where they have the trees and they are in full bloom.” Sydney Harbour is a jewellery display at night and there’s not better way to see it than from the water “During Vivid we do night time cruises that go around the harbour,” says Nicola who believes there’s no better way to see the spectacular light show Christmas cruises are a tradition in Sydney and SHF has a range of craft available for hire to suit your group size and event the night of nights on Sydney Harbour is New Year’s Eve and SHF offers supreme views of the harbour spectacles and fireworks NYE is just around the corner and these cruises sell out fast The biggest day on Sydney Harbour is arguably the start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race on Boxing Day If you’ve ever been one of the throng lining the coastal cliffs you’ll know how electric the atmosphere is Turn that up a few notches and that’s what you’d experience aboard one of SHF’s heritage boats (including the James Craig) among the spectator flotilla following the competitors how about sailing all the way down to Hobart aboard the James Craig This special voyage is scheduled for February 2025 to coincide with the Australian Wooden Boat Festival “The James Craig will voyage to Hobart with passengers Many of the SHF boats are available for private charter including the James Craig They are a unique and beautiful venue for corporate or special occasions…or even an Elvis tribute cruise (which someone hosted recently) SHF is mainly staffed by volunteers who help maintain its fleet You can watch the volunteers at work at the Heritage Fleet Shipyards in Rozelle Bay where they are currently restoring the John Oxley Sydney Heritage Fleet contributes significantly to preserving Australia’s maritime

Fabio Battisti and Arnolfo Raimondi opened this cafe, deli and restaurant at the western edge of Pyrmont where you wouldn’t usually expect to find a sandwich stacked with juicy slices of porchetta, frazzled crackling and sauteed leaves of scarola. The courtyard is often packed with Italians dressed like they’re about to go yachting in Campania, knocking back blistered flatbread sandwiches, espresso and cream-filled maritozzi buns. They’re also here for the house-made guanciale; gnarly slabs of the cured pork jowl hang behind the deli counter, ready for their close-up in a properly creamy (but cream-less) spaghetti carbonara or all’amatriciana. Meanwhile, trippa alla Romana boasts submissive strips of honeycomb ox-tripe in a fruity, pecorino-enriched tomato sauce and chargrilled steaks feature many barnstorming hunks of meat, pasture-raised and dry-aged for long, buttery flavour.

taxpayer-funded billion-dollar new premises with auditors refusing to sign off on the company’s accounts three months after the mandatory reporting deadline The company’s financial statements are yet to be published but company sources not authorised to speak publicly said Sydney Fish Market would post an $8 million loss in 2023-24 and had retained insolvency experts The new Sydney Fish Market is rising on the other side of Blackwattle Bay from the existing site.Credit: Dion Georgopoulos Its auditors were concerned it would not be able to pay the increased cleaning insurance and operational costs associated with the new building which is double the footprint of the current site and spread over two levels The company was forced to write down the value of its assets by $7 million in 2022-23 due to concerns it held about the design of the new building conceding that some of its sunk costs were unlikely to bring future economic benefits It posted a $6.3 million loss for the year It also faces the prospect of legal consequences following the breakdown of its partnership with a technology company that was developing a digital trading platform The Herald can reveal that Sydney Fish Market paused trading on SFMBlue in December just two years after it was launched with $900,000 in seed funding from the NSW government after wholesalers refused to support the platform SFMBlue was designed to boost trading power for fish catchers enabling them to sell seafood directly to customers over the weekend when the auction was not running and to lock in prices for a portion of their product It is the first time in Sydney Fish Market’s 30-year history that it has failed to lodge its financial statements on time But the company has denied trading while insolvent and said in an official statement that it remained viable “We have no reason to believe this will change in the foreseeable future,” the statement said “It is taking longer than anticipated to finalise our financial results due to extenuating circumstances related to the once-in-a-generation transition to the new Sydney Fish Market We are finalising the accounts with the appropriate level of due diligence The statement said the company and its technology partner had mutually agreed to end their collaboration on SFMBlue and the trading pause was an opportunity to engage with customers and stakeholders our priority remains on ensuring a seamless transition to the new iconic Sydney Fish Market facility on Blackwattle Bay.” Fish sold at auction from the Sydney Fish Market are given picking slips before being wheeled into refrigerated trucks and taken to restaurants fishmongers and grocery stores.Credit: Kate Geraghty The financial crisis engulfing Sydney Fish Market comes five years into the construction of a new market that has already cost the government at least $836 million and is set to be handed to the company on a 40-year lease for peppercorn rent It will also house 27 new subtenants paying market rent directly to the government The building was originally slated to open in 2024 but is now not expected to open until at least November An Infrastructure NSW spokeswoman said Sydney Fish Market had committed to relocate to the new building once it was complete under the agreement for lease that it signed with the government in 2019 and the government was preparing to hand over the building later this year “The question of insolvency has not been raised by SFM with Infrastructure NSW and we have not received any requests from SFM for financial support,” she said who own half the shares in the company (with the other half owned by the NSW Catchers Trust on behalf of the state’s fishermen) have consistently argued that the new building has insufficient power to meet their considerable refrigeration requirements They have warned that the building may need to resort to diesel generators over the Christmas period causing disturbance to its neighbours and breaching environmental standards Wholesalers are concerned that delays caused by the logistics of moving seafood between levels after it has been sold at auction will flow on to retailers and reduce the value of their product If retailers do not receive their stock until the afternoon and potentially 20 per cent of the value of a product with a five-day shelf life Seafood wholesalers and retailers at the Sydney Fish Market are concerned that the movement of fish from the auction floor to the shops will be inefficient in a multi-level building.Credit: Kate Geraghty Other gripes include the increased cleaning and maintenance costs of the new building and whether it will be able to meet its goal of doubling annual visitor numbers given there is no increase in parking places and a designated ferry wharf has disappeared from scope Infrastructure NSW promised when the project was announced that it would include a ferry wharf but it is now describing the structure as a “recreational passenger wharf” that will be used for various private and public purposes and “can accommodate a ferry stop” INSW said it was discussing options for a Sydney Ferries commuter wharf with Transport for NSW Most of the existing tenants have refused to sign their new leases which is likely to cause further construction delays because they cannot lodge development applications or enter contracts with builders The doubts over the viability of the market are a further disincentive to sign the government can dissolve the head lease but the NSW seafood industry would be thrown into chaos by the demise of the Dutch auction which is unique in Australia and ensures that the daily fishing catch is sold quickly at fair prices Former chairman Grahame Turk said the biggest winners if the company went bust would be the wholesalers because they would pick up the $150 million worth of fish currently being sold at auction the fishermen would then be in the hands of the wholesalers which would be very difficult for NSW fishers,” Turk said The Business Briefing newsletter delivers major stories, exclusive coverage and expert opinion.
