This discussion paper outlines a proposal to deliver to Sydneysiders, for the first time, continuous foreshore access from the iconic Sydney Opera house to the rapidly expanding geographic centre of Sydney - the Parramatta CBD.

The proposal would deliver:

• 80 kilometres of continuous foreshore access, from the Opera House, The Bays Precinct including Blackwattle Bay, the new Sydney Fish Market, White Bay Power station, Canada Bay to Parramatta River.
• Between 1645 and 3145 new jobs created over the lifetime of the project that would have a positive ripple effect through the State’s economy. A new recreational space for 90,262 residents living in the 18 adjacent suburbs and ultimately, improve health outcomes for these communities.
• A new tourism destination for Sydney that could potentially attract several hundred thousand additional international and domestic tourists each year, and bring over $150 million in localised economic activity per year to the project area.
• This proposal sets out a staged approach for the delivery of this social infrastructure.
