The New South Wales government has released its final strategy to transform Pyrmont, which envisions the area as a business and cultural hub with enhanced streetscapes, parks and public spaces.

The plans for the Pyrmont Peninsula Place Strategy (pdf), announced last year, include works in The Star, Blackwattle Bay, and Wentworth Park. The government will also utilise land from the Wentworth Park greyhound racing track to create parkland and open community space.
