FEB 2020Steel piling work begins
The installation of the wooden piles for the public boardwalk is now complete. Starting from around 12 February, we will start steel piling for the on-water component of the marina complex. This work will be noisy, but will only be carried out between certain times and there will be respite periods each day. The steel piling is expected to be finished within four weeks, weather permitting.
More informationPiling work consists of drilling holes in the seabed, then pounding the piles into the holes to secure a stable basis for the marina. Because of the drilling and (more so) the pounding of the poles into the seabed, this process can be noisy, especially with steel piles. For this reason, piling work will only be undertaken at the following times:
- 9 am to 12 pm, Monday to Friday
- 2 pm to 5 pm, Monday to Friday
- 8.30 am to 12 pm, Saturday.

Project information
The project will include building wet land and dry land facilities for a marina and wharf at Bank Street, Pyrmont.
- Wet land work will include a fixed wharf, floating pontoons and a publicly accessible timber walkway.
- Dry land work will include:
- a demountable office building
- a secured storage compound for LPG gas bottles to service stoves and BBQs on the vessels, 14 bins (3000 litres), and three ice machines
- up to 11 storage single stacked shipping containers (approximately 50 cubic metres)
- up to eight storage single stacked shipping containers (approximately 90 cubic metres),
- wall-mounted business identification signage at the Bank Street frontage,
- installation of a 5 kilolitre rainwater reuse tank,
- protection measures for the ANZAC Bridge Pylon including fencing and bollards
- a new vehicle crossover to Bank Street.
The facility has been approved for use of up to five years.
There will also be a boardwalk to give public access to the waterway which will form part of the Bays walk.
The Bank Street marina and wharf facilities will be built to provide an alternative site for the displaced Blackwattle Bay Marina which was moved from Pyrmont Bridge Road, Glebe to accommodate the development of the new Sydney Fish Market.
The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment held a public consultation session about the project in 2017. For details of the project history, as well as the consultation, visit the Major Projects webiste.
NSW Maritime is now responsible for the delivery of the Bank Street Marina project.
