White Bay Power Station
Immediate priority destination
The heritage-listed White Bay Power Station located at Robert Street, Rozelle, is one of the most recognised landmarks in the Precinct and includes surrounding lands to the White Bay foreshore. By creating a new technology landmark for Sydney that draws on the Precinct’s working heritage, we can enshrine the area’s history while adapting it for the knowledge-economy jobs of the future.
