This ambitious development plan will transform Sydney’s Central Station precinct

Sydney’s Central Station precinct is set for a major redevelopment with the announcement of an ambitious plan to build a 24ha deck on top of the station.

The masterplan, which was released today, includes plans for 15 buildings and three parks and is expected to take 10 to 15 years to complete. The deck will bridge parts of Central and Ultimo that have been disconnected since the railway was built in 1874.

NSW Premier Dom Perrottet described the project as a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

“It will reimagine this iconic part of our CBD and transform it into a world-class precinct of shops, restaurants, office spaces, parkland and additional housing,” he said.

Minister for Infrastructure, Cities and Active Transport Rob Stokes said at least 30 percent of the Central Precinct Renewal will be devoted to public housing, as well as providing a new public square and social services hubs.

“This proposal will heal parts of our city that have been torn apart since the railway divided Surry Hills from Ultimo back in 1874,” he said. “The proposal includes multiple new over-rail connections including Devonshire Street bridge, to enhance pedestrian and bicycle access through Central Precinct and to surrounding neighbourhoods.” 

CEO of the Committee for Sydney, Gabriel Metcalf, said while the committee welcomed the positioning of the development around public transport hubs, there were significant challenges to overcome.

“The real test is whether they can resolve the public realm issues of such a complicated site, with level changes and lots of passenger movements, to make it feel like a nice place to be,” he said. “Over station developments are notoriously tricky, and places like the Hudson Yards in New York have achieved only mixed success.

“For all of those reasons, this is going to be one of the most closely watched projects in Sydney: an incredible opportunity, but also one that will be quite a challenge.”

No official budget has been released but estimates put the work at $2 billion to $3 billion.

Sydney’s night sky lit up with speed and precision when Tigani Motorsport’s Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo charged to a second-place finish in the Pro-Am class during Race 1 of the GT World Challenge Australia at Sydney Motorsport Park.

Behind the wheel was entrepreneur and Citizen Kanebridge member Marcel Zalloua, partnered with Supercars regular Thomas Randle in a formidable one-off pairing that impressed from the outset.

The result marks a major milestone for Zalloua, a returning driver with previous success in the Am class, and continues Tigani Motorsport’s strong form in the 2025 season.

Zalloua is part of Citizen Kanebridge, an invitation-only club based in Sydney.

The club curates exclusive events, thought-leadership forums and networking opportunities for high-achieving individuals across investment, innovation and entrepreneurship.

The sleek #44 AMG GT3 Evo also sported a high-end lineup of sponsors, including Robb Report Australia & New Zealand and Citizen Kanebridge, alongside other premium backers — all part of a strategy to align the vehicle with luxury, performance and lifestyle excellence.

Race 1 saw the Zalloua-Randle duo execute a clean, strategic drive to claim the podium, with the car showing strong pace under lights.

Although Race 2 proved more challenging with a ninth-place finish in class, their combined effort across the weekend delivered valuable points to Tigani Motorsport’s championship campaign.

Tigani Motorsport continues to cement itself as a serious contender in the GT racing scene, with smart driver pairings, high-calibre partnerships, and a commitment to performance both on and off the track.
