The Central Precinct Renewal Program (CPRP), led by Transport for NSW (TfNSW), is focused on renewing the land in and around Sydney’s Central Station to create a vibrant and exciting place for business and the community.
In August 2025, the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces approved a revised rezoning proposal for the Central Precinct in Sydney’s CBD.
The rezoning will enable the delivery of approximately:
- 950 new homes with 30% designated as affordable housing
- 2,400 new jobs
- 13,500sqm of new open space
Changes have been made to the rezoning proposal, including:
- Removal of the over-station development (OSD) component of the initial rezoning proposal.
- Shifted the focus of future development to the 4 remaining sub-precincts, which would open the potential for more open spaces, commercial opportunities and homes in the Regent Street Sidings, Goulburn Street Car Park, Prince Alfred Sidings, and Mortuary Gardens sub-precincts.
- Identified capacity for an additional 110 homes in the Prince Alfred Sidings sub-precinct, aligning with the NSW Government’s National Housing Accord commitment to deliver 377,000 new, well-located homes by 2029.
You can view all documents related to both the original and revised rezoning proposals below.
