Sydney Fish Market to Open After Costly Overhaul, Ferry Link Delayed to 2027

Officials are banking on extra light rail services despite resident warnings about limited parking.

Overview

  • Traders expect teething issues moving perishable seafood through the four-storey complex, which uses five goods lifts and temperature-controlled loading and trading areas.
  • The project is six years late and more than $600 million over its original budget.
  • The promised $30 million ferry wharf is still in design, with commuter services not expected until 2027.
  • Transport for NSW added 150 weekly trips on the L1 light rail, taking weekend and holiday frequencies to every six minutes from 10am to 7pm.
  • Parking remains about 400 spaces as locals flag congestion, incomplete accessibility works at Wentworth Park, and safety concerns on Bridge Road.
